Got it, though I'm a huge fan of The Killer, and would recommend you get some BGO twofers of his Mercury stuff, the Bear Family set of Southern Roots, the Church Live Recordings, and, if still available, the Rockin' My Life Away warners anthology.

His most recent album "Rock And Roll Time" from 2014 is one of the Killer's very best albums. Much, much better than the "duets" albums he made before it ("Last Man Standing" and "Mean Old Man"). "Rock And Roll Time" has a fantastic, basic Rock & Roll sound, produced by Jim Keltner. The Killer even plays great, bluesy guitar on a couple of tracks. One of my all-time favorite Jerry Lee Lewis albums.

Yes, very much so. "Rock & Roll Time" is not only the best of the three most recent studio albums by the Killer, in my opinion it's one of his best (non-compilation) albums ever.

Got it, though I'm a huge fan of The Killer, and would recommend you get some BGO twofers of his Mercury stuff, the Bear Family set of Southern Roots, the Church Live Recordings, and, if still available, the Rockin' My Life Away warners anthology.
Wow, if you have all that, was there really something on "Whole Lotta Jerry Lee" you didn't have??

All killer, no filler.

Hmm ! Bit so-so; some of it is inspired, i.e Drinkin' Wine, Music to The Man, Sixty Minute Man, but some of it also tired, i.e yet another Whole Lotta Shakin', a poor Early Mornin' Rain.
The jam on the outtake of Be Bop A Lu La is pretty tasty, but that was only issued 15 years nearly after the album.
1973 was a bit of a busy year for the Killer: his first Opry appearance, the London Sessions, Sometimes A Memory Just Ain't Enough sessions, I-40 Country sessions, and the Southern Roots sessions. Also, not forgetting a hidden gem with the flop single, Jack Daniels Old Number 7, which was a great country track.
However, I can only reiterate: get the Bear Family Southern Roots sessions. It has the original album, some amazing outtakes, and some hilarious dialogue between Jerry Lee, Huey Meaux, and Tony Joe White in some instances.

Man, I went into the Best Buy site to track my order, since Saturday it has changed to something called "Zang Tuum Tumb: The Art of the 12", Volume 2: a Promotion of a Way of Life [CD]".
Now I'm wondering what I'm really getting!
You might want to check yours.
