Free Music Notes for Jerry Lee Lewis Box Set
Free Music Review: A few glaring oversights in an otherwise fantastic package
Hit: 4 Stars
I have to give this one an "A" for effort. A 3-disc retrospective of rock 'n roll's original bad boy, with extensive liner notes, is a fine idea. But calling this a "career retrospective" is a bit misleading.
For starters, where's Lewis's first single, Crazy Arms? You read that right: His FIRST SINGLE. A 3-disc set, 65 songs, but not his very first commercially-released song? Also MIA in this set: The seemingly-biographical ballad That Lucky Old Sun (and yes, I'm aware it was recorded by others prior to Lewis's version). And whatever you might think of the 1989 film GREAT BALLS OF FIRE, the "Killer" recorded some great material, including updated versions of many of his best-known hits. There was also his 1993 "Youngblood" album.
A fourth discs of rare and unreleased songs would have also been nice, although many such gems can be found on Rhino's Rare and Rockin': Original Sun Recordings.
This may all sound like nit-picking to casual fans. And it is. And for most folks, this is all the Jerry Lee Lewis they will ever need. And I'm certainly glad to have the set in my collection. Although I have most of the songs on previously-released discs, the sound quality of those eariler recordings varies greatly. So these discs will no doubt receive some heavy rotation at my house. But if you want the WHOLE Jerry Lee Lewis story, you'll have to look elsewhere to complete your collection.
Free Music Review: awesome
Hit: 4 Stars
every song is great and it goes through his whole career. the only complaint is as a box set how can it be missing so many good songs. wheres "crazy arms", "save the last dance for me", "that lucky old sun", "ubangi stomp", "when the saints go marching in", and"she still comes around (to love whats lefts of me)"? these were all big jerry lee lewis songs and should be on here.Free Music Review: OK - but....
Hit: 4 Stars
Nice box set, very god music, but a litle to much background noise in the remastering of the old numbers.Free Music Review: The Killer
Hit: 3 Stars
This set is over billed and is missing a lot of hits also the sound of the sun material is not good they sound better on the coletable set but well worth it for the rarities should have been a four disc set where is "Hot Damm I'm A One Woman Man" and the "Rock And Roll Medley"?
