25 All-Time Greatest Sun Recordings Reviews:
Jerry Lee Lewis - Sun Recordings 
2007-05-12 - This is a very good CD for Jerry Lee Lewis fans, especially of
his early years in music. We have enjoyed it very much.
NO REVIEW THIS WAS FOR A FRIEND 
2007-03-28 - THIS WAS FOR A FRIEND AND I HAVE NO FEEDBACK
Not GREAT balls of fire! 
2007-02-13 - I reviewed the names of the songs. They were what I thought that I wanted, but when I listened them at home, the versions of the songs were passive/low key. No GREAT BALLS of FIRE! It was not up-beat music.
This will be a recycled gift.
This could have been better 
2005-11-01 - Being a Jerry Lee Lewis fan means that I own 99% of everything he recorded. So, I may be a little too close to the subject to be helpful about a Greatest Hits disc.
Any serious listener simply needs, at the least, everything The Hawk recorded for Sun Records. But, back to these 25 choices. Most are wonderful, so, why are "Baby Baby Bye Bye" and "Love on Broadway" here?
I could name hundreds of superior cuts by Mr. Lewis. A few nominations would be; the single version of "It'll Be Me"..."That Lucky Old Sun" (just Jerry and his piano) "Deep Elem Blues" or "I'm On Fire."
Just over a month ago The Ferriday Fireball turned 70. Criminally, this was widely ignored. Do yourself a favor and get some Jery Lee Lewis music in your life.
A Bit Dated But Still A Lot to Like
2005-01-31 - There are enough Jerry Lee Lewis compilations that you need not slaver over this one. I was there just 90 miles from Sun Records to hear all of their artists from the beginning. You know the standard JLL songs, stuff not to be denied; they're history. Also herein you get Stick McGee's "Drinkin' Wine Spo-De-O-Dee", the original dating back to the 40s, Roy Orbison's "Down the Line" and my favorite version of Hank William Sr's "You Win Again" (just listen to Jerry Lee on his 88s on THAT song). There are two songs used in the movies ("High School Confidential" and 2 versions of "Breathless"); they were not the last movie tunes by Jerry Lee. His singing is quite stylized in an earnest attempt to make others' songs his own BUT.... Due to the age of the early tunes, many songs done RECENTLY (IN THE 50'S) have now been done to death and "Cold Cold Heart" sounds a hundred years old. They could have been left out for stuff like "What Made Milwaukee Famous" and a host of other country songs he recorded. Still, I think it deserves 4 stars. But keep your options open before you buy.
