Free Jerry Lee Lewis Music Downloads
From LoveToKnow Music
LTK Music is very excited to bring you these free Jerry Lee Lewis music downloads from is latest album.Jerry Lee Lewis, also known as The Killer, helped give birth to rock’n’roll music with his fellow 1950s Memphis, Tennessee Sun Records musicians Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and of course, the King himself, Elvis Presely. His blend of R&B and country piano music might be called rockabilly these days, but a more correct description was given by music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, when he called Jerry Lee Lewis’ music “the purest, hardest rock’n’roll ever committed to record.”
Music and Scandal
In 1957, Jerry Lee hit the big time with his single Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On. He followed that single with the track that would be his biggest hit, and the song most associated with him, Great Balls of Fire. His flamboyant performances, complete with burning piano, made him a star of the burgeoning rock’n’roll scene. His outrageous behavior, however, soon overshadowed his music career.
A 1958 UK tour ended in scandal for Jerry Lee, when the British press discovered that wife, Myra Gale Brown, who was accompanying him on tour, was both his wife and his 13 year old cousin. Jerry Lee’s whole rocky past came to light during the fallout of this revelation, and the public was equally horrified to discover that Myra was the 23 year old his third wife.
Jerry Lee’s career never fully recorded from this scandal, despite the fact that he and Myra later divorced. An accidental shooting from a friend and another gun incident at Elvis’ Graceland mansion didn’t help. (In fact, the book Nashville Babylon contends that Jerry Lee is suspected in no less than three murders, giving his nickname, The Killer, a whole new spin.)
Jerry Lee was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Recording Academy in 2005, although rumors had long been circulating in the music community that he was broke and facing trouble for unpaid tax bills. Jerry Lee Lewis, however, was not to be kept down. On September 26, 2006, he released Last Man Standing.
