Jerry Lee Lewis His Own Story - Larger Print Author:Rick Bragg, Jerry Lee Lewis A monumental figure on the American landscape, Jerry Lee Lewis spent his childhood raising hell in Ferriday, Louisiana, and Natchez, Mississippi; galvanized the world with hit records like “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Great Balls of Fire,” that gave rock and roll its devil’s edge; caused riots and... more » boycotts with his incendiary performances; nearly scuttled his career by marrying his thirteen-year-old second cousin -- his third wife of seven; ran a decades-long marathon of drugs, drinking, and women; nearly met his maker, twice; suffered the deaths of two sons and two wives, and the indignity of an IRS raid that left him with nothing but the broken-down piano he started with; performed with everyone from Elvis Presley to Keith Richards to Bruce Springsteen to Kid Rock -- and survived it all to be hailed as “one of the most creative and important figures in American popular culture and a paradigm of the Southern experience.”
