Anthology: All Killer No Filler
Elvis may have been the King, but there's no doubt who reigned as the dark prince of rock & roll. Jerry Lee Lewis--a.k.a. the Killer--burst on the scene in 1957, taking no prisoners with his (as it was called) "pumping" piano and his lust-laden style on such Sun Records classics as "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Breathless," and "Great Balls of Fire." This 42-track double CD collection includes all of them, but also features both midperiod Lewis (early '60s tracks such as "Money"), and, most significantly, his latter hits as a country star in the late '60s and '70s, such as "What Made Milwaukee Famous," "She Even Woke Me Up (To Say Goodbye)," "39 and Holding," and the self-explanatory "Meat Man."--Billy Altman
