Great Balls Of Fire I like to hear Jerry Lee sing ballads and on this Cd he sings his best. I Highly reccomend this CD. He is in a catagory all by himself. Buy this one if you are a fan, you won't be sorry.
Nobody does it better
Here, Jerry Lee Lewis sings a lot of old "standards" which technically are "covers" but with his unique vocal style and piano playing, it winds up being a new creation well worthy of attention. A lot of country stars used to sing "covers" of songs originally performed by others, and the results were usually not as good. I originally bought both LP records containing the music on this CD, and they are two of my most treasured records of Jerry Lee's country period, which I think is his best genre. It is nice to have the CD so I can retire them from active playing. If you like the old standards, you will like the way Jerry Lee does them, I'm sure. I think he has more musical talent than any other performer of his generation and could have been greater than Elvis had he not made a few PR mistakes or if Elvis had not been so sexy looking to the women. But then again, he wouldn't have been Jerry Lee Lewis, the Icon. If folks would have only judged him on his music!.
