Jerry Lee Lewis: The Palomino Recordings
The improbable excellence of The Killer's new release, Last Man Standing (in which he kicks ass on Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll," roars spendidly with fellow old-timers B. B. King, George Jones, and Merle Haggard, and generally rises from the dead for about the 4th time in his career, has sent me back to other great moments in his never-safe career. This 2-cd set was recorded live at one of California's rowdiest honky tonks, and, despite being saddled with an electric piano, the man TAMES it with indomitable versions of "Meat Man" ("I got jaws like a bear trap/Teeth like a razor/A Maytag tongue with a sensitive taster....), "Big-Legged Woman" ("I bet my bottom dollar/There ain't a cherry in this house..."), and "Don't Put No Headstone on My Grave" ("I want a fucking monument!!!"). Plus, the inventor of swamp guitar and the teeth in Ricky Nelson's Hollywood rockabilly attack, James Burton, is in nasty support.
