It's been half a century since Jerry Lee Lewis first rocketed to the top of America's pop, country and R&B charts with "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire" and while those iconoclastic performances still define the essence of rock 'n' roll for millions, Jerry Lee himself continues to thrill audiences around the world with the scorching blend of blues, country, gospel and music that he calls his own.

With Last Man Standing, the Killer's first new studio album in more than a decade, rock 'n' roll's greatest showman finds himself in the company of 22 rock, blues and country music superstars, contemporaries and disciples alike, dueting on a dream set list of classic songs, many of which might not even exist had Jerry Lee Lewis not kicked open the floodgates back in the 1950s.

With a lifetime of triumph and tragedy to draw from, Jerry Lee Lewis sings and plays with the seasoned wisdom of a man who's seen it all and the savvy confidence of a performer who knows that music--and the emotional truths it carries--is the thing that matters most.

Jerry Lee Lewis, who cut his first record in 1954, is the "last man standing" from Sun Record's legendary collection of talent that included Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins, who along with Chuck Berry and Little Richard could be called the Founding Fathers of Rock ‘n Roll.

Since the beginning, Jerry Lee Lewis's irrepressible confidence and insatiable energy have inspired countless fans and foes. His storied career has been colored by exploit and scandal: He was the original bad boy, the first legend of rock ‘n roll who paved the way for all those to follow - from the Rolling Stones to Green Day.

Described by Johnny Cash as an American Original and by Roy Orbison as the best raw performer in the history of rock 'n' roll music, Jerry Lee Lewis is a musician of exceptional talent and versatility. Along with his rock ‘n roll hits, he has had many country chart toppers, including “Another Place, Another Time” in 1968. He became one of the very first inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.

That same year, Jerry Lee went back to Sun Studios in Memphis to record the album "Class of '55" with Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. "Interviews from the Class of '55 Recording Sessions" earned the 1987 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album.

Jerry Lee Lewis has never stopped touring. 50 years after his first hit and in his 70th year, he remains an explosive performer, delivering fury, finesse and fun to audiences around the world.

In February 2005, Jerry Lee Lewis was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS).

Last Man Standing is pure Jerry Lee Lewis, an important and monumental collection of pure rock 'n' roll from the last original rock ‘n’ roller.
