Jerry Lee Lewis

2 LPs ON 1 CD

Jerry Lee Lewis is the first great wild man of rock & roll, who embodied its most reckless and high-spirited impulses. During the late ‘50s he combined a ferocious, boogie instrumental style with rowdy, uninhibited vocals to create piano-pounding rockers. Whether singing a melancholy country ballad, a lowdown blues, or a blazing rocker, Lewis’ wholesale commitment to the moment brings forth energetic performances that are totally grounded in his own unique sound. This quintessential release includes Lewis’ first two LPs for S

Both masterpieces have been remastered and packaged together on this very special collector’s edition, which also contains 6 bonus tracks from the same period. A fundamental cornerstone of rock & roll, Lewis’ house-rockin’ boogie, and heart-stoppin’ piano style left an indelible mark on popular music that has withstood the test of time.
