Jerry Lee Lewis - The Complete Jerry Lee Lewis on Sun [2022] (5 x CD's)

 JERRY LEE LEWIS

Jerry Lee Lewis - The Complete Jerry Lee Lewis on Sun [2022] (5 x CD's)

If rock’n’roll was a person, it would be Jerry Lee Lewis. Back in 1957, when Jerry Lee Lewis exploded on radio and jukeboxes with “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On” and “Great Balls of Fire,” rock’n’roll was brand new, young and wild, loud and dangerous. The same could be said of Jerry Lee. Jerry Lee was in Louisiana when he heard Elvis and Carl Perkins and knew he had to get to Memphis and Sam Phillips, Aman he thought would understand his music. He was right. When Sam heard that wild, free spirit with a no holds barred piano pounding style, he put a microphone in front of him and turned on the recording machine. In this collection, you will hear all of the songs that Jerry Lee Lewis recorded for Sun Records, including those that were never released when he was on Sun. You can hear the piano rumble from Jerry Lee’s left hand and feel the wild, manic energy pulsing through the studio as he sang and played. Jerry Lee’s single, “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On” entered the Billboard country chart on June 17, 1957, the Hot 100 a week later and the R&B chart on August 19. It reached number one on the country chart (for two weeks), number three on the Hot100 and number one on the R&B chart. The next single, “Great Balls of Fire,” also released in 1957, reached number one on the country chart, number two on the Hot 100 and number three on the R&B chart. Nobody had heard anything like it and those who went to see Jerry Lee perform had never seen anything like him. He was a Louisiana Wild Man set loose and everything he did, said, sang or played screamed ROCK’N’ROLL! Listening to these songs, recorded over a seven-year period, you can hear the roots of rock’n’roll. The early rockabilly performers were considered country at the beginning, and you hear a strong dose of country when Jerry Lee played—he covered Jimmy Rodgers, Hank Williams and country hits. You hear him play R&B from Ray Charles and The Drifters. And you hear him play pop hits like “Near You” and “Love Letters In the Sand.” But Jerry Lee did not simply cover a song, he took a song and made it his own, no matter where it came from. No matter who wrote a song, when Jerry Lee played it, it became a Jerry Lee Lewis song. There are few performers who are that original. Rock’n’roll during the 1950s was a mixture of something old, something new, something borrowed and some blues. You’ll hear that spectrum in this Complete Jerry Lee Lewis set. During the 1950s, rock’n’roll was a teenager’s first love. It was a music that excited them, moved them and gave them a music of their own—stupendously different from their parent’s music. It was a music that grabbed the heart, moved the feet and changed the world. Listening to rock’n’roll was a rite of passage for teenagers in the 1950s, a baptism of freedom for a youth rebellion. Sun Records in Memphis, led by Sam Phillips, was the birthplace of rock’n’roll and Jerry Lee Lewis was a favorite son. (Amazon)

  1. Brilliant.......Maybe I shouldnt be, but I am always in awe of how wonderful the Original Sun Recordings (and others around the 50s/60s) sound....who needs "Remastering" (Even though these probably are)!?

    Theres many including this one:

    "Classic - Definitive Edition Of His Sun Recordings 1956-1963" [8CD] (1989)

    Cheers
