a Year With C.s Lewis

The plain truth is that there's only one Jerry Lee Lewis and Rock and Roll music will never see another like him! The piano thumping, egocentric wild man with an unquenchable thirst for living captured live! Rock and Roll classics as well as down home blues and country ballads, there is nobody like the Killer! Tracks include: 'Keep My Motor Running', 'You Win Again', 'Lucile', 'Over The Rainbow', 'Sweet Little Sixteen', 'You Are The Won', 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On' And 'Great Balls Of Fire'.
Is there an early rock & roller who has a crazier reputation than the Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis? His exploits as a piano-thumping, egocentric wild man with an unquenchable thirst for living have become the fodder for numerous biographies, film documentaries, and a full-length Hollywood movie. Certainly few other artists came to the party with more ego and talent than he and lived to tell the tale.

Let's call a spade a spade. Orion is an Elvis impersonator. No more, no less. That he's a good Elvis impersonator is important, since if he wasn't, Sun probably wouldn't have tried to promote his recordings as if they were genuine Elvis material, even going to the extremes of overdubbing Orion's voices on recordings by such Sun stalwarts as Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. This doesn't make him any better, but it sure makes him fascinating, particularly because he is gifted at mimicry and these are pretty good evocations of Elvis at his peak…

Some nine years after Miles Davis’ untimely death, Columbia Records is still repackaging his recorded legacy. The most recent efforts in this area have been made available both on compact disc and in 180-gram vinyl versions by way of Mosaic Records. It is the latter edition that this review is based on, though it should be noted that basically the only difference between the two sets, besides the presentation medium, is that Mosaic’s package is a 12 x 12 box with an album-sized booklet accompanying the records.
