(Associated Press)“An enthralling look at the birth of rock & roll and the ensuing life of its arguably most colorful exponent.” (Entertainment Weekly)“No writer is better suited than Rick Bragg to tell Lewis’s story. Jerry Lee Lewis is quite simply one of the best books about rock and roll everRick Bragg has turned it into literature, fitting in somewhere between William Faulkner and Jim Thompson. Lewis has had his fingers in nearly every piece of the 20th century’s popular-music pie, and so Bragg’s biography becomes not just the history of the man but a history of modern American music.” (Shelf Awarene

You have heard of books you can’t put down – well this one stopped me going to sleep.As Jerry himself would say, there have been a “flock” of books about him but none are anything like as good as this one.I must conf. A true genius Jerry Lee Lewis is undoubtedly the true king of Rock and Roll and whatever else he touched. Although he was publicly outracised for marrying his cousin, which was not a crime, and had his music banned; he bounced back at the expense of his health and happiness. He suffered unnecessarily because of self righteous bigots. He is a man for all times and his musical genius is unparalleled. Wonder how his life would have been if he had continued conquering the world in 1957. G-d bless you Jerry Lee, would love to meet you and shake your hand. "Interesting life story, superbly written." according to John H. Evans. In the mid-19Interesting life story, superbly written. In the mid-1930's, two counties in the Mississippi delta produced four men of remarkable talent and ambition. No one can deny the talent of Jerry Lee Lewis and his cousins, Jimmy Swaggart and Mickey Gilley. Jerry Lee and his friend Elvis Presley wrote much of the early history of rock and roll.Lewis' life and legend deserve a good biographer and Rick Bragg does the man justice.I recommend this book to those interested in the early years of rock and roll, or just stories of southern boys made good.. 0's, two counties in the Mississippi delta produced four men of remarkable talent and ambition.
