"JERRY LEE LEWIS DOES FOR THE PIANO IN ITS BOOGIE-WOOGIE FORM WHAT ELMORE JAMES AND T-BONE WALKER DID FOR THE SLIDE ELECTRIC GUITAR. IN SHORT, TRANSFORMED THE INSTRUMENT INTO THE EQUIVALENT OF A ONE MAN BAND. NAME ANOTHER ROCK PIANIST WHO CAN COMPARE IN ENERGY. GIVE UP. THERE ARE PLENTY OF CLASSICS HERE AND A FEW COVERS. THE TECHNICAL END LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED BUT THAT IS NOT UNUSUAL IN THESE TYPES OF LIVE RECORDINGS."
