Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis

Firebrand pianist Jerry Lee Lewis consolidated his many strengths on this revitalising 1979 album, which also tapped Elvis’ former guitarist James Burton. “Rockin’ My Life Away” packs a mouthy mission statement, while an unlikely cover of Bob Dylan’s “Rita May” is a swaggering showcase of muscle and hustle. Yet for all those reminders of his rock credentials, Lewis brings a lived-in richness to several country numbers, including Charlie Rich’s “Who Will the Next Fool Be?” and the surprisingly funky “Every Day I Have to Cry”.
