\n<\/span>Bear Family\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>(18-CD Box Set)<\/span><\/p>\n

5 Stars<\/span><\/p>\n

By Mike Greenblatt<\/p>\n

Subtitled \u201cWhat the Hell Else Do You Need,\u201d \u201cJerry Lee Lewis at Sun Records: The Collected Works\u201d is a massive boxed set: 23-plus hours of music spread out over 623 tracks on 18 CDs. And that doesn\u2019t even count the two hardcover books you could totally lose yourself in, as I did for more hours than I care to admit.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s Bear Family Records is the No. 1 purveyor of boxed sets in the world. Their attention to detail, obvious care and meticulous research in ferreting out every note and recording log, every take, complete with false starts and premature endings, different tempi, between-song grumblings or jokes and that all-out obsession of one Sam Phillips to get just the right sound, has resulted in a document for the ages.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t listen through this thing like you don\u2019t read through an encyclopedia or dictionary. You use it going by the book, so to speak, to cherry-pick nuggets of pure genius. Do it this way and there\u2019s enough material so you can have that sweet shock of first-time recognition for years to come. Hey, you can only hear something for the very first time once. Think of how Phillips must have felt upon dealing with the brash young man! He knew The Killer was more talented than any of his other artists. Hell, he\u2019d tell \u2018em to their faces. And he did. He nurtured Jerry Lee and coaxed performances out of him that will still rock 100 years from now. And this is it. This is the unburnished, unadulterated road to hell Jerry Lee knew he was on yet plummeted forward toward anyway after spurning Bible School.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Go ahead. Don\u2019t listen to me. Try tackling all 18 CDs in a row. There is a hypnotic element to it all. The kid from Ferriday, Louisiana, is a natural. Some songs have more than 20 takes. Jerry Lee Lewis is never off-pitch. Never sharp. Never flat. Always perfect. It baffles science. He may flub a word, forget a lyric or drive himself crazy with his own karate chops to the piano keys, spurring himself on to greater heights of lunacy, but he\u2019s always right there. Right on time. Every time.<\/p>\n

It becomes a game. You\u2019ll find yourself guessing what he does wrong to merit yet another take. You\u2019ll find yourself rooting for the same song to be sung again. Or not. Mesmerizing. Genius flowering under a benevolent dictator who knows just what he\u2019s after. Besides his own songs, Lewis sings Lead Belly, Hank, Elvis, Little Richard, pre-WWII country songs, gospel, folk music \u2026 hell, even \u201cThe Marines\u2019 Hymn.\u201d Doesn\u2019t matter. The wiggle in his voice. The advent of Sam\u2019s echo. The reaching, searching and realizing of untold truths. They\u2019re all here. And there couldn\u2019t possibly be a more important rock\u2019n\u2019roll artist to document in such a profound way as Jerry Lee Lewis. Ask him. He\u2019ll tell you the same thing.<\/p>\n
