5.0 out of 5 stars From rock'n'roll to country, September 20, 2003

The first thing to say is that if you are only interested in Jerry Lee's rock'n'roll music, you should forget this compilation. There is some of that music here (the first fourteen tracks on the first CD) but it is covered in much greater depth on other compilations. While it's nice to have some of his rock'n'roll stuff here, the real reason to buy this collection is to discover just what a fantastic country singer Jerry Lee became. He is never given the credit he deserves for this aspect of his music.

The country music begins with track 15 on CD 1. For me, the last seven tracks of the first CD are the highlight of the whole set. Another place another time begins the sequence, which also includes What's made Milwaukee famous (covered by Rod Stewart among others), To make love sweeter for you, Don't let me cross over (a duet with Linda Gail Lewis) and One has my name the other has my heart.

The whole of the second CD is filled with great country music, with just an occasional nod to his past, including a great revival of Chantilly lace. The outstanding song here is a cover of an even older song, Over the rainbow, sung with an edge suggesting he knows that the dream is not going to come true. Other notable tracks include She even woke me up to say goodbye, Meat man and Thirty-nine and holding, but as the compilation title proclaims, there is no filler here.

If you enjoy hearing Jerry sing country as well as rock'n'roll, this is the strongest compilation so far released. I note, as I write this, that it has now become a collector's item. Before paying a premium price, check Jerry's other available albums, or write to Rhino records pleading for them to re-issue this set. Compilations do not usually command high prices, so the fact that this one does shows how good it is.

Talkin about rock and roll. Jerry Lee Lewis is the real thing.
Nearly everybody knows the classical stuff. Great Balls of Fire, Whole lotta, High School etc. This is hellraising striped to the bone rock and roll, and it realy feel you with joy, listning to it. Also the country stuff is great to listning to. But to more modern tracks like Drinking Wine Spo-dee odee, and Rockin my life away realy kicks youre soul in gear.
Nobody can fills his shoes, when it comes to hellraising pumping, thumping, rock and roll. He are what he are, and we love him for that. I am what i am too, and maybe more will find his soulmate listning once in a while to the "real thing" and what realy rock and roll realy is. Jerry Lee just rules on this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take him with you., July 12, 2011

When I'm ripping thru the gears I like to have the killer with me. This 2 CD set fills the bill. Put "Rocking my life Away" on and let your tires spin.
