Product Information:
It has been over half a century since true American original Jerry Lee Lewis first rocketed to the top of America’s pop, country and R&B charts with “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Great Balls of Fire.” While those iconoclastic performances still define the essence of rock’n’ roll for millions, “The Killer” himself continues to thrill audiences around the world with his unique, scorching blend of rock, blues, country and gospel. Music icon Lewis will continue this legacy with his new CD, “Mean Old Man,” which was produced by Jim Keltner and Steve Bing in Memphis and L. A., and is being released by Verve / Universal Music Enterprises on September 7th. Phoebe Lewis is the Executive Producer of the CD. This is Lewis’s much-anticipated follow-up to his 2006 release “Last Man Standing,” which continues to sell consistently with sales of over 500, 000 worldwide.
With a lifetime of triumph and tragedy to draw from, Jerry Lee Lewis sings and plays with the seasoned wisdom of a man who's seen it all and the savvy confidence of a performer who knows that music--and the emotional truths it carries--is the thing that matters most.
In addition to Lewis’s many rock hits, he also paid homage to his deep country roots throughout his career. GRAMMY®, Lifetime Achievement-winner and Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, Lewis has had over 30 Top 10 country hits including “Another Time, Another Place,” “To Make Love Sweeter For You,” “There Must Be More To Love Than This,” “Think About It Darlin’,” “What’s Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me),” “She Still Comes Around (To Love What’s Left of Me),” “Once More With Feeling,” “Would You Take Another Chance on Me” and “Me & Bobby McGee,” among others. “Mean Old Man” continues that spirit with a number of country influences as well as the compelling force of his signature rock, blues and gospel style.
With Mean Old Man, rock 'n' roll's and country’s greatest showman finds himself in the company of some of the greatest sidemen and women ever assembled on the18-track deluxe and 10-track standard CD version. These pop, rock, blues and country music superstars lent their talent on a dream set list of classic songs, many of which might not exist had Jerry Lee Lewis not kicked open the floodgates back in the 1950s.
