Rock 'n' Roll Legends - Jerry Lee Lewis

Advantages: Loads of Hits from the Golden Era of Rock N Roll
Disadvantages: None

....billhaley.co.uk) Next up is Eddie Cochran with “Summertime Blues.” Eddie was a dynamic guitar player and this song is one of the best. Also on the album is one of my favourites,”Three Steps To Heaven.”Eddie was tragically killed in April 1960 when the cab he was in crashed in Chippenham, Wiltshire.Also in the cab was Eddie’s girlfriend Sharon Sheeley and singer Gene Vincent, both of whom escaped with their lives (although Vincent suffered serious leg injuries.)

Upon my return from my live experience, I began to get more interested in the band, learning about their inspirations and stories from life on the road. Then, I heard about a HIM side project called 'Daniel Lioneye', the band's 'sleaze rock' record. Curious, I soon got the album. Lets just say I was shocked at what I was hearing... Track number one 'The King of Rock 'N Roll' I recognised as the opening theme tune to cult MTV show 'Viva La Bam'. The raunchy electric guitar... Read review
