While there is some duplication with Rhino's Jerry Lee Lewis collection 18 ORIGINAL GREATEST HITS, this smaller anthology from Sun stands as a worthy contender in his catalogue. Not only are his major rock 'n' roll hits included but also the rare self-penned "It'll Be Me" from 1956 as well as "killer" covers of "Little Queenie" and "Teenage Letter" in which Jerry Lee out-rocks (and out-leers) Chuck Berry and Big Joe Turner respectively. Add a little piano dazzle on "Lewis Boogie," a little country on Hank Williams' "You Win Again" and the many facets of the greatest Southern rocker of them all begin to shine like a crazy diamond.
