From Booklist Besides “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Great Balls of Fire,” the best-known fact anent Jerry Lee Lewis is that marrying his 13-year-old second cousin scuttled his rocketing young career. --Ray Olson . Lewis hit the road heavily to maintain his lifestyle (which came to include hitting booze and pills pretty hard, too) and eventually scored big time on the country charts in the late 1960s. Bonomo launches his appreciation of Lewis from that event, homing in on Lewis’ first British tour, at the beginning of which the news was broken. Between rock and country stardom, however, he returned to Britain in 1962 and 1963 and, concluding the ’63 jaunt in Hamburg, Germany, recorded
A superb new study of Jerry Lee Lewis that's as intense and fast paced as the life of "The Killer" himself, from the height of fame to the bumpy road that followed"The category in which Jerry Lee Lewis truly belongs is 'Jerry Lee Lewis.' The Killer is as big as Mount Rushmore, and he's also as American, as revered, as clichéd, as misunderstood, as corny, and as taken for granted as that monument. By first taking a look at the critical years before his famed night in 1964 at West Germany's Star-Club - what that meant not only for him but the entire live album-making world - then the tumultuous years that follow, culminating in his time on the American Country charts in the late 60s/ early 70s, Bonomo brings Jerry Lee Lewis to life in new and fascinating ways.In spite of plummeting record sales and concert fees, a media savaging of his personal character, a change of record labels and management, and a considerable upturn in his drug and alcohol abuse, Jerry Lee Lewis has persevered. Elvis felt it, so does Dylan. In between being betrayed and ignored, he would record one of the greatest rock & roll performances in history. The curse of iconoclastic American succes

"Found - The Missing Links" according to H.B. Beverly. I'm about half way through my copy of "Lost and Found" and so far I've found a wealth of information that I never knew before about the years between Jerry's mega-hits in 1957-58, and his country period, which began in 1968.

Blevins said The kind of book an English teacher might write about rock 'n' roll. Make sure you know what you're getting if you plan on purchasing Joe Bonomo's "Jerry Lee Lewis: Lost and Found." My local library filed this under Biography, but it barely qualifies as that. This is really a work of rock criticism, with all the limitations implied by that term. Bonomo assumes -- in my case, incorrectly -- that the reader will be as interested in the author as in the subject matter. In other words, expect a lot of editorializing and sermonizing from Bonomo along the way. For a book supposedly celebrating a
