Description: While Lewis's Sun sessions between 1956 and 1963 are legendarily eclectic (everything from Stephen Foster to Hank Williams to a rewrite of the Midnighters' "Sexy Ways"), this single-disc distillation sticks mainly to rock and country veins. The records that made the Killer a short-lived yet serious challenger to Elvis--"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Great Balls of Fire"--are here, in addition to lesser known but equally hot sides such as "It'll Be Me" and the blindingly dirty-minded "Big Legged Woman." A key collection from one of America's greatest recorded talents. --Rickey Wright

Reviews:

Exellent rockabilly singing and boogie woogie piano palyin'

Lewis was one of teh best rockabilyl singers, complete with the echoe in his voice and that rockabilly accent and sound in his voice, he's truly a good time singer. His piano playing is boogie woogie stylisticly, however he sounds like James P. Johnson, with maybe a little too much too drink(no that would be Champio Jack Dupree). In anycase his sporadic vocals and spasmic piano playing make for great jitterbug dancing, and party good time fun music. A great cd, even if there is a lack of liner notes or recording date and session information. This cd makes up for the lack of information, by including all of Lewis' most boogieing tracks on one cd, making this the only truly essential cd of Lewis yo uwill ever need. great music.

Great, but incomplete

This is a marvelous collection if you're only sampling Jerry Lee Lewis' music. It contains his greatest early hits, but still omits some of his best music, so beware. Most people listening to Jerry's music for the first time can never stop at just one CD, so this will serve as a fine introduction to some of the best music you'll ever hear. Though these songs are all more than 40 years old, they wear well and are timeless.

Most casual rock fans can name only a few Lewis tunes: Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On, but there is so much more than that. This collection includes some of his most haunting, beautiful ballads or slower tempo pieces.

He was a genuine innovator and talent. This compilation proves that.

I do my little boogie woogie every day

Wow, who would have thought that Jerry Lee Lewis would be the last surviving Sun Records legend? After the wild life he lead, it's somewhat of a miracle. Now, on to the review. Jerry Lee Lewis recorded a ton of great material at Sun Records. Much more than the mere 18 songs recorded here. However, all 18 songs here are great, so I won't complain about that. I might have selected different songs if it was up to me, but that's just personal preference. Jerry only had five real hits at Sun Records, so any other songs included are debatable. My one real complaint would have to be the lack of liner notes. But that won't stop me from recommending the CD.
