Music reviews of Definitive Collection
Music Review: A lot of hits are here,but even more are missing
Rating: 5 Stars
With so many Jerry Lee Lewis collections on the market,it isn't hard to find one.Finding all of his "greatest hits",however,is.The problem is that most of Jerry Lee's hits were recorded in the '60's & '70's,long after he had parted ways with Sam Phillips and sun records.Why is that a problem?Because about 90% of the cds out there only feature sun material,recorded between 1956 and 1963.It can get a little frustrating trying to find a cd that covers his entire career,and not just "Great balls of fire".
"The definitive collection" does just that,featuring 24 of the killer's biggest hits,it starts with 1957's "Whole lot of shakin' going on" and ends with 1981's "Thirty nine and holding".
But...
Just like every "best of" cd,this one has its own set of problems.
Jerry Lee Lewis has had over 65 hit singles and this cd only has 24 of them,obviously,this should have been a 2 cd set.
The hits included:
"Whole lot of shakin' going on" ( #1 in 1957)
"Great balls of fire" ( #1 in 1957)
"You win again" ( #4 in 1957)
"Breathless" ( #4 in 1958)

"What'd i say" ( #21 in 1961)
"What's made Milwaukee famous ( #2 in 1968)
"Another place,another time" ( #2 in 1968)

"Sometimes a memory ain't enough" ( #6 in 1973)

"Middle age crazy" ( #4 in 1977)
"Over the rainbow" ( #10 in 1980)

"Fools like me" ( #9 in 1958)
"Invitation to your party" ( #6 in 1969)
"One minute past eternity" ( #2 in 1969)

"Boogie woogie country man" ( #24 in 1975)
"Let's put it back together again" ( #5 in 1976)
"The closest thing to you" ( #27 in 1976)
"Come on in" ( #10 in 1978)
"I'll find it where i can" ( #10 in 1978)
"Rockin' my life away" ( #18 in 1979)
"I wish i was eighteen again" ( #18 in 1979)
"Who will the next fool be" ( #20 in 1979)
"When two worlds collide" ( #11 in 1980)
"I'd do it all again" ( #52 in 1982)
"My fingers do the talking" ( #44 in 1982)
"The definitive collection" doesn't quite live up to its title,but it is better than most and serves as proof that Jerry Lee Lewis' career didn't die in the fifties,it had only begun.
This cd includes a 16 page booklet,extensive liner notes,rare photos and has been digitally remastered for the ultimate sound!
All songs are the original recordings.
I know i'm not the only one who's been suckered by the "bargain bin" at the music store( where bootleg Jerry Lee Lewis live cds call home!)
