Best remembered for pounding the keyboard frenetically and kicking
away his piano bench in the middle of a song, rock 'n' roll piano
sensation Jerry Lee Lewis revolutionized the music of the late 1950s
and 1960s. Along with other luminaries of his generation like Elvis
Presley, Roy Orbison, and Johnny Cash, Lewis began his recording
career at the famed Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee, after early
gigs performing rhythm and blues and boogie-woogie as a teenage
prodigy.
Nearly 50 years after the release of his first single (and
amassing a long list of hits, including "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin'
On," "Good Golly Miss Molly," and "Baby Baby Bye Bye"), Lewis' LAST
MAN STANDING features new duet versions of his signature songs
performed with a roster of legendary talents, including Eric Clapton,
B. B. King, Mick Jagger, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Little
Richard, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and others. GREAT
PERFORMANCES captures these historic collaborations in an
exhilarating new concert performance that is guaranteed to bring down
the house.
