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.

"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"
