Great Great Version, rough and great Weaving from Keef and Ronnie !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeroen

Nearly all of the Tracks are outtakes from the two previous Records, and to be serious, These all-Star-stuff cds aint that great, the Songs without duettpardners are netter than the others

Even the Cover shoot was Made More than ten years ago for last man Standing, called old glory then.

The Project Looks Really poor, eben just Eleven Songs, the last two Rekords had More than Twenty each with all the bonustracks.

But Theres another lp coming out which Looks far More promising.

This looks really nice. I wonder whether we will have a chance to see Mr. Lewis in Europe the next year. His webb page states that there will be 3 concerts in the UK in 2015. It would surely be nice if he decided to do some little tour of Europe.

Exclusive Stream: “Little Queenie” by Jerry Lee Lewis

August 25, 2014 | By Jennifer V. Cole

Some people were just born to be larger than life. As a child, even before he put fingers to ivories, Jerry Lee Lewis lived life more enthusiastically than anything Concordia Parish, Louisiana, had ever seen. And after he got his hands on his own piano, a wood-paneled upright from P.A. Starck Piano Co., The Killer was unstoppable. This is the artist Sam Phillips of Sun Records—the man who discovered Elvis—called “the most talented man I ever worked with, black or white. One of the most talented human beings to walk on God’s earth.”

And with his new album, Rock & Roll Time, Jerry Lee shows he’s still got a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on. He recorded the album in Memphis in collaboration with a roll call of musical greats, including Ron Wood, Neil Young, and Ivan Neville. But don’t expect a series of simple duets. On this production, the genre’s “first great wild man” comes through front and center. The rest of the rock royalty effectively backs him—and lets him do his thing. In his track-by-track backstory for the album, Jerry Lee says, “Chuck Berry’s ‘Little Queenie’ was always a great song, and like all great songs, it still is one. So I played it here, and having Keith Richards and Ron Wood play with me is pretty cool.”

Nothing special...especially if we consider that there are 4 guitars.

WTF a new release by THE KILLER?!!! Coming my way tomorrow, just ordered it together with another release from earlier this month named Knox Phillips sessions.

The Killer's version of Bad, Bad Leroy Brown on the Knox Phillips Sessions CD is classic Jerry Lee Lewis with improvised lyrics in real Killer style. A lot of "hanging it in", meanest stud, Motherhumping and bad bad pianoplaying. I love it! Gonna play it again

well, I bought the promo (whole album!) about six weeks ago in London for just 3 pounds (without booklet), listened to the album once or twice and nearly forgot it.

A great buy anyways! But what's confusing me is the na..... name of the promo you are talking about.
ROCK N ROLL TIME or KNOX PHILLIPS SESSIONS?
Gonna play Bad, Bad Leroy Brown again now. It's the opening track of The Knox Pillips Sessions CD (ACE records)

Excellent interview with Patrick Doyle of Rolling Stone:

Can't stand the KILLER!!! when I watched a show on this person 10-20 years ago who made a very compelling arguement that Jerry killed one of his wifes and got away with it in his little home town.. Wish Ronnie & Keith would do their homework on who they are hanging around with.

Jerry Lee Lewis a ball of promotional fire with new book, albums

By Randy Lewis
November 4, 2014

"Last man standing!" said the 79-year-old Jerry Lee Lewis with a hearty laugh, speaking by phone from Manhattan.

A founder of rock 'n' roll, Lewis is indeed last of the many luminaries discovered by Sun Records founder Sam Phillips, which included Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Howlin' Wolf and many others. Lewis had come to New York for a round of appearances paired with a new book, "Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story," and an album, "Rock & Roll Time." Standing? Lewis is a man still on the move.

Last week, he sat in with Paul Shaffer's band on "Late Night With David Letterman" for a quick rendition of his 1957 hit "Great Balls of Fire," and he's the only member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's first class of inductees in 1986 recording and touring with any regularity.

Phillips once famously described Lewis as "One of the most talented human beings to walk on God's Earth." Veteran drummer Jim Keltner, co-producer of Lewis' two most recent albums, recalled this week that "I was with John [Lennon] the night Jerry Lee came to L.A. in 1973 to play at the Roxy. When they were finished with the show, we went back and John got down on his hands and knees and kissed his boots. He's worshipped by the music community."

The new album boasts another strong collection of songs, with vintage rock, blues and country numbers intermingled with several more obscure choices, including a little-heard Bob Dylan song dating to around 1978, "Stepchild," and the spirited title track, written by Kris Kristofferson, James Joseph McGuinn and Bob Neuwirth.

Guests include the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards and Ron Wood, Neil Young, the Band's Robbie Robertson and Doyle Bramhall II. Some sessions date back several years — producer-instrumentalist Daniel Lanois, multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion and alt-country singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne.

But the album is clearly and authoritatively Lewis' show. His voice is strong, his piano playing as colorfully inventive as ever. "The voice is all right, the hands are all right and," Lewis said, adding with a devilish chuckle, "the money is all right. So I'm having a good time."

Lewis' life story is the stuff of which movies are made, and one was — "Great Balls of Fire!" starring Dennis Quaid in 1989 — but even that failed to convey the true ferocity of Lewis' life and music. Biographer Rick Bragg has become the latest to try to do justice to the incendiary musician known both as "The Ferriday Fireball" and "The Killer" in the new book, "Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story," published last week (HarperCollins, $27.99).

Nick Tosches' 1982 biography "Hellfire" captured the manic spirit of its subject — Rolling Stone called it "the best rock 'n' roll biography ever written" — but Bragg's book, covering more expansive biographical information, is collecting laudatory reviews as well.

"It's fantastic," said Lewis. "Everything in it come straight outta my mouth."

One notable moment draws a clear contrast between Presley and Lewis, who both turned 21 in 1956 and soon thereafter received draft notices. Presley dutifully reported and enlisted in the Army as a regular soldier in 1957 — a move that helped change the public perception of Presley from the threat to the morals of American youth into a proper young role model. Lewis, far less concerned about public perception, reacted differently.

"I wadded it up and threw it in the Black River," Lewis tells Bragg.

He's been married seven times, and along the way two wives and two sons died. Lewis made international headlines in 1976 when he was arrested at the gates of Presley's Graceland mansion in Memphis in the middle of the night for brandishing a pistol and demanding to see his former label mate.

When Presley enlisted, Lewis seemed poised to inherit the crown of rock 'n' roll royalty. But when Lewis married his 13-year-old first cousin — not uncommon in the region of Louisiana where Lewis grew up — DJs stopped playing his records and promoters stopped booking his concerts.

His career was over — but not for long. He reemerged in the 1960s in country music. Soon he was scoring hit after hit with distinctive songs such as "What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)," "She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye" and "Middle Age Crazy."

That's the era spotlighted in another new Lewis CD, which includes recordings he made in the '70s with producer Knox Phillips — Sam's son — that were never issued. "The Knox Phillips Sessions: The Unreleased Recordings" allowed Lewis, after his contract ended with Mercury Records, to delve into old-time gospel, country and even contemporary folk-pop (with a version of Jim Croce's "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown") unrestrained by considerations of what might fly with radio programmers.

Although he no longer leaps atop the lid of his piano when performing, occasionally, he'll still defiantly kick over a piano bench as he stands to hammer the keys with his hands, elbows or, now and then, his backside.

Does it surprise him that he's rocking and rolling in his eighth decade?

With a tone of genuine humility, a quality that once never would have been expected from the Killer, he said, "It surprises me every time I get to go onstage and do my job."

Songs 1 and 2 and the backcover picture only are worth buying this release for everybody who likes R&R from 0 till 80 in november 2014. Listening to it now.
