Publisher's Summary:

Otherwise known as 'The Killer', Jerry Lee Lewis has lived an extraordinary life. He spent his childhood raising hell in Louisiana and Mississippi; gave rock-and-roll its devil's edge with hit records like 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On' and 'Great Balls of Fire'; performed with everyone from Elvis Presley to Keith Richards to Bruce Springsteen to Kid Rock; caused riots and boycotts with his incendiary performances; married his thirteen-year-old second cousin, the third of seven wives; ran a decade's-long marathon of drugs, drinking, and women; nearly met his maker, at least twice; and survived it all to be hailed as one of the greatest music icons.

This is the fascinating authorised biography of this musical genius in his own words. For the very first time, Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story reveals the truth behind the Last Man Standing of the rock-and-roll era. From encounters with legends including Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, John Lennon, Mick Jagger and more, to hair-raising first-person accounts of Jerry's lifelong rivalries with Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry for the title of king of rock-and-roll, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Rick Bragg traces the incredible story of a young man from the American South who used his piano to drive the world into a music revolution.

Members Reviews:

Marvelous book. Don't miss it!

excellent!!!! nobody else could have written Jerry Lee's story but Rick Bragg. have a lot of respect for the hard work Jerry Lee had to do to get to the top of the world in so many different aspects of music. saw him myself when I was about 14 years old at the Bell Auditorium in Augusta, Georgia just after he was kicked out of the U.K. and he put on a terrific show. so glad he has returned to his roots and is happy now. love you and everything you write, Rick Bragg.

Killer

This is a well-written account of a crazy life. So many things about Jerry Lee Lewis are known, his life seeming to be an open (sometimes raunchy) book - but this gives a little insight into thee man himself. Well done!

book was ok. sometimes tough to follow. did find out many interesting things about jerry lee that i did not know. while i was reading, i would go to you tube to check out a lot of the songs and other things the book was talking about.

He lived a hard life

This is an interesting book I really enjoyed it, but some information is very hard to believe, but with Jerry Lee Lewis it is probably all true. I do recommend this book

I don't know how Jerry Lee found Rick Bragg or how Rick Bragg talked Jerry Lee into an authorized biography, but the book is fascinating.
