Joe Viglione from AllMusic writes:
According to a book by Ken Burke, the "one man responsible" for changing the fortunes of Jerry Lee Lewis' flagging career was Eddie Kilroy. It was Kilroy who suggested that Lewis record "Another Place, Another Time" with a more modern country sound, and the record kick-started Lewis's late 1960s career revival.[1]
