Jerry Lee still Rocks and his pals on this CD are obviously having trouble staying up with him! I listen to this often though.Free Music Review: Some Clearly Don't Understand Jerry Lee Lewis
Hit: 5 Stars
I won't go into the details of the tracks contained in this album as that aspect has been well covered by many of the 146 5- and 4-star reviews. Suffice to say that those few who awarded 2 stars clearly do not understand the complex character that is Jerry Lee Lewis. The noted author and music critic Peter Guralnick covers that very well in his 10-pages of liner notes in the insert, which also contains numerous vintage photos and a track-by-track sessionography.
Those who accept Jerry Lee as he is - warts and all - will love this album. Might I also suggest seeking out the paperback book Jerry Lee Lewis Rocks by Robert Palmer, first published in 1981 by Delilah Books of New York and distributed by G.P. Putnam's Sons. One of the best ever released on The Killer.
As for the title of this CD, I quote from the note on the reverse: "50 years ago, Sam Phillips' legendary Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee was the home of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, the founding fathers of Rock And Roll. Today, Jerry Lee Lewis is The Last Man Standing."
Each of the above, all of whom were rooted in Country Music, is also a member of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, with Jerry Lee being one of the original inductees in 1986.
It's worth noting that only four performing artists have the honour of being in both the R&R and Country Music (which started in 1961) Halls Of Fame: Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Brenda Lee and The Everly Brothers. Apparently the Country body does not feel that 65 hit singles, six of them # 1s and 27 in all in the Top 10, not to mention numerous best-selling albums by Jerry Lee is sufficient for recognition (the Everly Brothers, by comparison, had 17 Country hit singles, four of them # 1 and eight in all in the Top 10). It's past the time for his induction into that Hall as well.
