And yet, Jerry Lee Lewis has just released a new and very good album, Young Blood . Not that anyone really cares.
Sales are just okay, and the amount of press it's receiving is average.
We forget that Jerry Lee Lewis was, and still is, the perfect personification of rock and roll, moreso than Chuck Berry , The Beatles or Elvis . Two Louisiana sisters, eccentric and competitive holy rollers, in 1935 and 1936 give birth to sons born six months apart. Not surprisingly, both decide to enter the ministry. One of them, though, has a wild streak, and three months into his classes at a Southern Bible college he's kicked out for sacreligiously turning the hymnal's songs into boogie woogie fare. The other walks the straight and narrow, and is seen as the more successful of the two.
