JERRY LEE LEWIS STILL KILLER, WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN' GOING ON AT THIRD MAN RECORDS

Live At Third Man Records
2011

595 Miles To Go

The Killer remains among us and Jack White wants to make sure we know Jerry Lee Lewis still lives up to his murderous moniker.

On Live At Third Man Records, the then 75-year-old piano pounding legend (now 77) cracks the keys in a teenage tantrum. Age seems to slightly slur his singing, but the Sun Records spirit rages on the ivories with every note.

From start to finish, this party romps from rock's earliest era and Jerry Lee shows why the piano can be just as lethal as a guitar in the right hands. 

Lewis' band mates - guitarist Kenny Lovelace, guitarist Steve Cropper, bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Jim Keltner - add appropriate sock hop happiness to each of the dozen songs, including Drinking Wine, Spo-dee-O-dee; Before The Night Is Over; and I Wish I Was 18 Again.

Live At Third Man Records makes you wish you were 18 when Jerry Lee was at the height of his superhero powers.

The hits are the expected highlights - Sweet Little Sixteen, Great Balls Of Fire, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On. 

"This is rock AND roll right here," Jerry Lee says of the closing shake.

And, you sir are still a killer.
