ByAsa Hawks

As further proof that reality shows can be educational as well as historically significant, the second episode of Thee History Channel’s new series Cajun Pawn Stars features a rare recording purported to be from 1952 and featuring rockabilly/rock and roll/country piano legend Jerry Lee Lewis – two years prior to when historians previously thought Jerry Lee cut his first demo. Goodness gracious… Great balls of fire!

ByDarren O

The History Channel has been extremely mum about their Pawn Stars southern spin-off Cajun Pawn Stars. There is no official page for it yet on their website and it’s not even listed as one of the network’s programs, even though it has a Jan. 8 premiere date. In spite of their black-ops cover up I’ve got the first official promo clip and another interview with the show’s soon-to-be star, Jimmie DeRamus. By mid-January, when everyone is talking about the show, you can say you heard it here first!
