Killer

Rock n’ roll founding father Jerry Lee Lewis just turned 79 but is still going strong, having just released a new album, Rock & Roll Time, this week (10/27). The record features a bevy of guest stars, including Stones guitarists Keith Richards and Ron Wood, Neil Young, Robbie Robertson, Shelby Lynne, and songs include covers of Johnny Cash (“Folsom Prison Blues”), Bob Dylan (“Stepchild”), Lynyrd Skynyrd (“Mississippi Kid”), Chuck Berry (“Little Queenie,” “Promised Land”), Jimmie Rodgers (“Blues Like Midnight”) and more. You can stream the whole thing via Rdio below.

There’s also a new biography on Killer, titled Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story, out this week as well. He’s in NYC as we speak, celebrating the release of both tonight (10/29) at BB King Blues Club. Tickets are still available. You may have seen Jerry sitting in with Paul Schaffer on Letterman this past Monday (10/27).
