My Fingers Do The Talkin' is Jerry Lee Lewis' first album for MCA, released in January 1983.[1] The album peaked at No. 62 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.[2]

Recording

After breaking up with Elektra, Lewis moved to MCA to record two albums in the early 1980s. My Fingers Do The Talkin' was Jerry Lee's last solo studio album to make its way into Billboard's Top Country Albums chart until Last Man Standing revived his career in 2006.[3] It offers a similar mix of rock ‘n roll and country songs as the albums he made for Elektra, containing material from many familiar songwriters, including Sonny Throckmorton, and Mack Vickery. The album delivered his last three singles to hit the US country charts, with the title song reaching #44[4][5] obtaining lukewarm (2.5/5 and 3.67/5) ratings at the AllMusic and Discogs platforms[6][7]

The album was created during a turbulent period in Lewis' career. He struggled with the Internal Revenue Service,[8][9] his fourth wife drowned in 1982 and his fifth wife died in 1983 within three months of their marriage.[10] The latter death resulting in rumours of murder.[11]
