Discovered by Sun Records’ Sam Phillips in 1954, Jerry Lee Lewis exploded on the scene in 1957 with his groundbreaking hit “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin’ On." His follow up hit in that same year "Great Balls of Fire" cemented his place as a rock ‘n roll icon. Jerry Lee Lewis is the Last Man Standing of rock’s founding fathers, the last living legend left from Sun Record's "Million Dollar Quartet" (Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis).

Fifty years after his first hit and in his 70th year, Jerry Lee Lewis performs as powerfully as ever. Last Man Standing mixes Lewis’ old school finesse and fury, that essence of rock & roll that’s all his own, with the prowess of today’s great artists. The result is 21 songs that might just make up the best classic rock ‘n roll album ever.
