About

Jerry Lee Lewis has lived an extraordinary life. He gave rock and roll its devil's edge with hit records like 'Great Balls of Fire'. His incendiary shows caused riots and boycotts. He ran a decade-long marathon of drugs, drinking, and women, and married his thirteen-year-old second cousin, the third of seven wives. He also nearly met his maker, at least twice. He survived it all to be hailed as one of the greatest music icons. For the very first time, he reveals the truth behind the Last Man Standing of the rock-and-roll era.

Reviews

"There's plenty of richness in Rick Bragg's retelling of the Killer's life . . . .Bragg, a former reporter for the New York Times, hits all the legendary moments, both high and low . . . Worth reading"
STEPHEN KING
"Rick Bragg's biography of Jerry Lee Lewis really is the business. The words on the page perfectly match the music and the man"
RODDY DOYLE
"I loved every amphetamine-laced, whiskey-soaked, gun-shot page of it . . .This thing moves. It rocks. And while every review to come will no doubt mention that there has never been a more perfect union of writer and subject, I'm glad to be able to say it here first-Bragg and Lewis are a match made in heaven"
