The UPS delivery came while I was messing with the NewMexiKen database and I did get to listen to Jerry Lee Lewis’ new CD Last Man Standing
The 21 tracks each feature another artist, but Jerry Lee and his piano are the stars.
NewMexiKen read in Rolling Stone that Lewis faced the recording of this album with some trepidation. According to the article he’d spent most of the last decade watching Gunsmoke re-runs. The producer told Lewis not to worry, that most of the rock stars appearing on the album had wanted to be him when they grew up.
I have to get back into the good part of the world. Too many decades spent running from my pain. JERRY LEE has a new CD??? I would have died, positively died, expired from neglect and worthlessness, when I was just a little boy, if not for “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.”
For all his sins, Jerry Lee Lewis is a god, and God bless him.
I thank you for this post. I may actually have to buy a stereo.
John, it appears you have a computer, visit iTunes, plunk down 99 cents and listen to Jerry Lee sing with Jimmy Page playing Rock and Roll.
It will wake you from anything and make you get up and dance. Guaranteed!
