Watching Jerry Lee Lewis playing/singing on Imus this morning. JLL is promoting his new album, Last Man Standing, looking a little long in the tooth, but his voice holds up quite well. Damn, got to pick up that CD today! G-man picked it up for the old man!!!! I LOVE the duet Couple More Years with Willie Nelson's tasty vocal accompaniment and guitar licks, and, of course, Springsteen's Pink Cadillac. An interesting matchup is Killer and Little Richard doing the Beatles' I saw her standing there because LR always claimed that his fame was shortchanged by Elvis and his peers because he (Little Richard) was black.
50 years ago, Sam Phillips' legendary Sun Records in Memphis, TN was the home of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and jerry Lee Lewis, the founding fathers of rock 'n roll - today, Jerry Lee Lewis is the 'Last Man Standing.'
