I first ordered this CD through a mail order catalog shortly after it was released. I had no idea what was on it, I only had the title to go on. I wasn't expecting much. They all claim to be "The Definitive Collection" don't they? This CD surprised me. First, when I looked at the cover. It wasn't a black and white 1957 photo of Jerry Lee Lewis standing on top of his piano? No, it was a wonderful image taken from Jerry Lee's 1970 appearance on The Johnny Cash Show. I was already impressed.
Then, I flipped it over and saw that tracklist. I couldn't believe it. It only included 6 Sun recordings. That's it. A smart, yet ballsy move. His Smash/Mercury country hits make up the majority of this collection. The last 2 songs are Jerry Lee's biggest Elektra hits. Hooray for licensing! I immediately ordered a backup copy because I knew I was going to play this thing to death. I've read the other reviews here. Lots of people complaining that there's too much country and not enough rock and roll, which annoys me. Mama said shut your mouth! There's no shortage of Jerry Lee "Just rock and roll" CDs out there. This CD, to date, is the only comprehensive single disc collection to span his career and not just one part of it.
it was long past due for a collection like this. Despite the myth, Jerry Lee's career didn't end in 1958. Yes, he was one of the founding fathers of rock and roll - but a decade later, he was for a time, the biggest star in country music. It was time to tell the rest of the story. This CD doesn't have all of the hits but every song on it is a hit. Of the 24 selections offered here, 22 of them made the top 10 on the country charts. The Killer had 30 Top 10 singles and 17 Top 10 albums there.
The first six songs on this collection made Jerry Lee Lewis the first artist ever inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, yet despite all the country hits that followed, as of 2021, he's yet to be inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame.
This is The Definitive Collection.
While you are at it, go ahead and buy the two latest Jerry Lee albums, "Last Man Standing", and "Mean Old Man". The first, from 2006, has some great rock duets on it. The last, from 2010, has more duets, and some mellower songs. Jerry Lee is, by now, in his late 70s, and his voice shows no signs of deterioration. He still sings as strong as ever. I was honored to see him perform in 1999. He walked slowly to his piano. I thought, "This will be awful, he hardly has the strength to get to his stool." As soon as he sat down, he suddenly became charged-up, and began to play. It was as if the stool electrified him. He played a brilliant 45-minute set, ending with "Whole Lot Of Shaking" and "Great Balls Of Fire". Then, he stood up, and became a tired man in his late-60s, being slowly helped from the stage to thunderous applause. Reading 'Unconquered' - a book I highly recommend - this is common for his current concerts.
But, buy this CD! You'll be glad you did.

"A Whole Lot Of Shakin' Goin' On", "Great Ball Of Fire" に代表される彼のロックンロールであり、他はカントリー
時代の秀作が収められている。7曲目に"What's Made Milwaukee Famous"が何と言っても良い。「ミルウォーキー
を有名にしたもの」と言えばビールに決まっているが、タイトルから想像できるように。歌詞の内容は、毎晩バーに入り
浸りの男が、ついに恋人に愛想を尽かされ去って行かれる、後悔先に立たず、という典型的な酒飲みカントリーソングである。
この他にも,"Another Place,Another Time", "She Still Comes Around", "Thirty Nine And Holding", "Sometimes A
Memory Ain't Enough"などキラー・カントリーがたっぷり聴ける真にCDタイトルとおりのジェリーの決定版でしょう。
