Odd Man In is the 31st album by Jerry Lee Lewis. It was released in 1975 on the Mercury label. The album title was credited to Joanie Lawrence.

Recording

By the mid-seventies, Lewis was as big a country music legend as he was a rock and roll icon, and songwriters provided him with compositions that played up to the myth of "the Killer." "A change came over many of Lewis's later Mercury recordings," observes

Odd Man In made it to number 33 on the Billboard country albums chart, the worst showing for any of his Mercury country albums since 1965's Country Songs for City Folks.^[citation needed] Two singles, "A Damn Good Country Song", and "Don't Boogie Woogie", did not crack the Top 20.^{[citation needed]} In 2006, Lewis would cut "That Kind of Fool" as a duet with Keith Richards for his Last Man Standing album.
