 Got me listening to Jerry Lee January 19, 2006
A listener (NYC)

I ran across this book online (in its entirety) at guterman.com (the link says Jerry Lee Lewis book). Reading material there got me listening to Jerry Lee Lewis' music, which also led me to seek out the out-of-print book. I feel that Guterman really understands his subject, the music and the man.

"Rockin'my life away" is by a longshot the best book written about Jerry Lee Lewis by a non-relative.This book doesn't exaggerate things like Nick Tosches' "Hellfire" did and concentrates on the most important thing: The MUSIC. The book also credits Lewis' contributions to all the genres that he covered,including blues, country,rock 'n' roll,gospel & boogie. However,this book is not 100% perfect,either - but comes close to being so.The author compares Jerry Lee too much with Elvis Presley - who is a very different type of performer altogether as he's more pop based that The Killer.Also,not all of Lewis' songs are dealth with and there are some inaccuracies.That aside,though,it's an excellent read.
