Jerry Lee Lewis: Last Rocker Standing

In what has been called "the most incredible rock and roll story you'll ever read" (The Observer, London) Robert Gordon rides shotgun with the wildest rocker of them all. Focusing on the making of Lewis' 2006 album Last Man Standing, this 30 page article gives historical context to the rock and roll pioneer's modern work. Gordon's access to Jerry Lee--in the studio, on the bus, backstage--injects this authoritative history with contemporary intimacies. This visit with the Last Rocker Standing that won't be soon forgotten. It's a killer.

Robert Gordon is the author of It Came From Memphis, Respect Yourself: Stax Records and the Soul Explosion, and Can't Be Satisfied: The Life and Times of Muddy Waters, among other books. He is the director of several award-winning documentaries, including Johnny Cash's America and Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story. He has written for Rolling Stone, the New York Times, and Mojo. He won a Grammy in 2011 for his liner notes to the Big Star box set.
