Classic Jerry Lee Lewis - The Definitive Edition Of His Sun Recordings 1956-1963 (1989)

Genre: Rock & Roll | Label: Bear Family Records | 8CD BoxSet | MP3 320 kbps | 1372 MB

This massive box consists of the first act of the Killer's career, the complete output from his 1956-1962 years at Sun Records, wherein a bible school dropout with a high country tenor, a ten-fingered demolition derby piano attack out of boogie-woogie, and a miscegenation-spurred penchant for pouring blues idioms into his hillbilly music puts him on the Rushmore of the Founding Fathers of Rock and Roll, along with Elvis and Chuck Berry.

As a non-musical bonus, this set contains the legendary between-takes debate between producer/Sun Records founder Sam Philips and JLL, when the latter walked away from his piano and refused to cut Great Balls of Fire because of it's sacreligious use of pentecostal imagery.

Jerry Lee's distinctive version of Ray Price's 'Crazy Arms' was his Sun debut, but it was his second single, a revival of Roy Hall's 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On' in 1957 that propelled him to international fame. The record, which was initially banned as obscene, narrowly missed the top of the US chart. He stole the show from many other stars in the film Jamboree in which he sang the classic 'Great Balls Of Fire'. He kept up the barrage of rowdy and unadulterated rock with 'Breathless', which, like its predecessor, had been written by Otis Blackwell. He arrived in Britain for a tour in 1958, accompanied by his third wife, Myra, who was also his 13-year-old second cousin. The tour had to be cancelled after only three concerts. The furor followed Lewis home and support for him in his homeland also waned. His last big hit of the 50s was the title song from his film High School Confidential. After a decade playing rock 'n' roll, Lewis decided to concentrate on country material in 1968. He also kept the rock 'n' roll flag flying by playing revival shows around the world. Lewis was one of the first people inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1986. Tragedy, scandal and, above all, rock 'n' roll have seldom played such an intrinsic role in one musician's life.
