How do you drum up interest in a Jerry Lee Lewis record, since the Ferriday Fireball is 71 and hasn't put out an album since 1996? First, you pair him with 22 of the biggest stars of rock (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards), country (Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard), and blues (Buddy Guy, B.B. King), to show how he put his stamp on nearly every genre. Then, you hire the dean of music chroniclers, Peter Guralnick, to give the liner notes heft. And--oh, yes, you also make sure the piano-pounding pioneer displays the best finger form he's shown in 25 years. Throughout, the Killer crows, struts, and self-mythologizes with the brio of youth, and who could resist him? At times, one may question the wisdom of turning an obvious guitar tune (Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll") into a piano-dominated performance, just as it seems odd to not make the best use of such guests as Toby Keith or Delaney Bramlett. But Lewis never yields the throne for a second, even surrounded by the likes of Robbie Robertson, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton. For that reason, most of these aren't true duets--the star instrumentalists take their solos, and the harmonies of some of the most legendary vocalists (Don Henley, Little Richard) stay too far in the background. But when things really work--as they do with Bruce Springsteen (the rave-up "Pink Cadillac"), Neil Young (a crackling rendition of "You Don't Have To Go"), Kid Rock (an even blacker "Honky Tonk Woman"), George Jones (the novelty-framed "Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age"), and Kris Kristofferson (an especially poignant take on "The Pilgrim: Chapter 33"), the rock of ages cleaves for thee and me. Last Man Standing refers to the famous cover of Million Dollar Quartet, on which he's pictured with fellow Sun artists Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins, all now jamming in the great beyond. Yet in a spoken-word reprise at the end of the Kristofferson song--"From the rocking of the cradle / To the rolling of the hearse / The going up was worth the coming down"--the Last Man seems to suggest his own fine epitaph. It's hard to argue with a hellraiser extraordinaire. --Alanna Nash

5 out of 5 stars Man, that just blew my mind!.......2007-07-01

About 50 years ago, Sun Records was at the forefront of the beginning of rock and roll, with performers like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. The title of this CD refers to the fact that Jerry Lee Lewis is "the last man standing" among these Sun Records legends, which is pretty amazing when you consider that he probably led the wildest life of all of them. For this album, the 70something year old Killer performs duets with a bunch of other record stars. "Duets" is not quite an accurate description, though, since some guests just perform instruments and some guests sing what amounts to background vocals. But the real star here is of course Jerry Lee himself, who proves that he can still sing and pump the piano better than just about anybody. He handles rock, country and blues songs equally well. The duet partners were probably added to make the album more commercial, but they do manage to add something to the mix, since it gives the album more variety. I suspect that their presence also pushed Jerry Lee to do his best, since he wouldn't want to be outshined on his own album. The Killer can frequently be heard joking around with them, which adds to the fun of the album. This is probably the greatest rock and roll album every recorded by a senior citizen, and it puts to rest the lie that rock music is strictly for young people.

5 out of 5 stars It's about time!.......2007-05-28

Jerry Lee is one of the last surviving rock and roll pioneers and it is about time he rec'd some quality attention. I've seen him live, and man, oh, man, is he for real. The production on this project is good, the performances are good, the packaging is good, the song selection is good; this will definitely be a project that will add to his legacy. As with all of us, Father Time is catching up with the Killer, and my personal wish is that whoever was responsible for this project would have done it 10-15 years ago. It seems so many of the early rock and roll pioneers die without really having quality documentation (there is a good special featuring Carl Perkins, which shamefully had to be made in England because he was apparently appreciated more there, and of course Chuck Berry's "Hail, Hail, Rock and Rock" should be in every music lover's home). Now if we could only get new projects from Chuck Berry, or Little Richard, or Fats Domino!

5 out of 5 stars never quit.......2007-05-17

This guy is an immortal. Some people are great forever. He is one.

4 out of 5 stars Age is Showing.......2007-05-15

It is painfully obvious that Jerry Lee isn't the "Killer" anymore, but I am still happy I have added this latest work to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful CD.......2007-05-06

This is a great CD if you like the boogie woogie style paino. So many wonderful voices have paired up with Jerry for this one, you can't help but like some of the songs, and fortunately I liked them all. Perhaps my favorite is he with B.B. King--a wonderful piece. This is not a perfectly orchestrated CD, and the "soul" comes through.

5 out of 5 stars Sill ROCKIN' at 71.......2007-07-04

I've been a fan Of Jerry Lee for 30 years. This live cd and DVD is enough to make anyone a fan, even at this late date in his life. You'll wish you had checked him out years ago. Get "Live at the Star Club" if you want to hear him when he was 29. R. Lee, Rochester, NY

5 out of 5 stars Still rocking at 71.......2007-05-12

Last Man Standing If you are a Killer fan like me this is a must have LIVE dvd. Jerry Lee at 71 still shows he is the master of Boogie Woogie piano. He sings 28 live songs with a variety of stars from Kid Rock to Tom Jones through Willie Nelson and John Fogerty plus others. Jerry Lee outshines them all and the respect they have for him is obvious to see. Buy this DVD it is a truly great show you will enjoy

5 out of 5 stars Who's gonna play this old piano... .......2007-04-25

Jerry will always be the legend and the Killer. He is truly the last man standing.
I really enjoyed audio CD that comes in this package. Songs are live cuts from recent performances. Jerry's version of Lucille is just great. I have always enjoyed his take on this song and have been blasting this recent version in my car and at home.

About DVD...I must admit that my favorite Jerry was when he was in his 40s and 50s.
He had the blues, the country and the rocknroll. He had the heartache to portray it in his songs and he still had the fire to give it some hell on the piano. This DVD is for the fans - people who love JLL, who follow him, who respect him and who admire him. I think it was a great effort to prove the point of the Last Man Standing, but at the same time when I finished watching this DVD i had a bit of a nostalgic feeling not willing to admit that the years are going by...

1 out of 5 stars 100% garbage!!!.......2007-04-23

this guy should have retired years ago, as he has consistently phoned in his live shows and studio albums for the past, oh, 35 years or so. there's no conviction here whatsoever, and his vocals are nothing but a bunch of hillbily warbling. if you must own one of his live albums, get the starclub cd, and skip this bland performance.

5 out of 5 stars A Killer Show.......2007-04-20

After buying the stand alone DVD, I'd purchased a copy of this CD/DVD Last Man Standing combo release in hopes that it would include some of the soundtrack, instead of another release of old hits. I got lucky! The CD contains all (7) of the Jerry Lee solo performances from the DVD (see the solo DVD for my detailed review of the concert), plus one additional song, Lucille, for a total of 8 live performances.

If you enjoyed the DVD, you'll love this CD, especially the stand-out performaces of Roll Over Beethoven, Chantilly Lace and the unreleased Lucille, one of my favorite Little Richard/Everly Brothers cuts. Even the country weapers, That Lucky Old Sun and Don't Put No Headstone on My Grave, are good!

Having earned his composing stripes after the 1960s, John Adams had the pioneering work of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and Terry Riley close at hand as he ventured into his trade. And, while minimalism's historical continuum helps place Adams, he used Reich, Glass, and Riley (among others) only as a starting point. And here's proof: a 10-CD retrospective of nearly all Adams's recorded compositions on Nonesuch Records, the label that also issued Steve Reich 1965-1995 and Kronos Quartet: 25 Years. Adams's Harmonium, a choral work of startling energy and effervescence, appears here in a new recording, as do distillations of both The Death of Klinghoffer and Nixon in China, two path-clearing operas. Over the span of a career covered by Earbox, Adams has returned minimalism to traditional instrumental ensembles as well as to projects that at once advanced a political commentary and took that commentary back to orchestral audiences. And so, in far less time than his predecessors, Adams created works that now play like standard repertoire pieces: The Wound Dresser and Shaker Loops and the Violin Concerto--all of them are here. What these works demonstrate is a fierce creativity on the one hand and perhaps a hunger for commercial advances on the other. Adams may at times be a bustling free thinker, but he sounds ever conscious of what audiences are listening to. As for the works themselves, they remain every bit as daunting as when written.

Some may object to particular selections. I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky, for example, hardly ranks with Adams's best work. But this box isn't a mere best-of; it's an almost-all-of. At times terrifically American--especially in the news-aware operas and their narrative pragmatism--Adams well deserves a major box set, and its coverage is appropriate to his varied, stylistically diverse output. As with any large-scale retrospective, Earbox--which fairly bristles with Adams's new composition, Slonimsky's Earbox--has spots where fans might balk at the quality of the composer's writing. But it's got a fantastic accompanying booklet along with its many hours of inarguably modern and thoroughly listener-friendly music. --Andrew Bartlett

5 out of 5 stars Moved to tears.......2004-03-18

Never before in my life was i moved so intensely and directly by classical music. I put the first cd in my player and a few minutes later tears are flowing. I find myself dancing and moving to a rythm i already seem to know. Wow, i just have to share that.

5 out of 5 stars Nonesuch delivers.Again.......2002-11-27

John adams is one of the most popular living composers of"modern" classical music[I believe the cutoff point, though arbitrary is usually WWII}.I came to him late, through my husband. Modersn classical music , I said? What the hell is that?My husband kept playing bits and pieces of adams for me, and more and more i found myself amazed. and swayed. His operas have been groundbreaking{Nixon in China} controversial{Death Of klinghoffer},his compostions sublimely beautiful{shaker Loops or harmonium].HIS STATURE IS WORTHY THEN OF SUCH A MONUMENTAL CAREER SPANNING BOX SET.This 10 disc set[great value, again from NONESUCH}encompasses Adams' entire career,and though there are some misses here{I was looking at the ceiling and then i saw the sky doesnt quite fit},it is still magnificent. the Highlights are ,{for me} the Wound Dresser, Chamber symphony,Violin Concerto, of course, Shaker Loops and Harmonuim are wonderful. The true jewels here are Nixon in China,the Chairman dances and the Death of Klinghoffer,which is simply a masterpiece. The set comes with a wonderful book, which contains essay's by Robert Hurwitz {An Uncommon Man}renaud Machart[John adams as seen from europe} and Essays before an earbox by Adams himself.A Chronology and dicography are included. A wonderful study of an American original,worth the investment, Highly highly recommended

4 out of 5 stars harmonia in excelsis.......2001-11-12

I must agree with Mr. Bartlett, particularly with regard to "Ceiling." It may well be because his Violin Concerto and Harmonielehre are so powerful. 4.5 stars.
Interesting, and likely intentional, is that two names in the extensive liner book fail to mention two great and glaringly obvious precursors: Carl Orff and Raymond Scott. Without "Carmina Burana," there would be no "Harmonium." Orff has his mark all over Adams's gifted and epic compositions. Similarly, though there are glib references to "cartoon music," the polymath engineer/musician Scott is a seminal figure in American music, and casts a large shadow over the witty juxtapositions and sense of play one loves in Adams's work. In all, an excellent career overview.

5 out of 5 stars Our greatest living composer.......2001-07-22

As a composer, I'm staggered that anyone could fail to be gripped by this music.

That anyone can use the words "spoiled, overrated" amazes me. I emphatically disagree with "A music fan"'s review.

I don't think it's "mind-numbing"; I think it's spiritual and exciting. To me it's the most substantial music being created in our times.

I'm really sorry that anyone could fail to enjoy it, and really recommend others to listen for themselves.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful CD.......2000-04-02

This compilation should turn even the most curmudgeonly listerner into a fan. Beautifully recorded, great notes -- and it's a heck of a bargain!

5 out of 5 stars A weird but worthwhile score........2001-11-14

Thematically poor it may well be but this is a great CD. Elmer Bernstein was hired originally to do the score and altho his music was impressive it just didn't fit the tone of the movie. Ry Cooder has hit the mark with his score .The opening music is the most distant and morbid I have ever heard. It's great and really makes us feel was Bruce Willis is feeling in the movie. So far away and distant this score almost becomes tragic in places. Track 13 is a classic and 20 and 24 create a VERY downbeat tone. This is an unmissable CD.

5 out of 5 stars A breakthrough!.......2001-10-17

If you've reached this space, you've obiously seen the movie. If you haven't, go see it right away! A bit matcho it is, yes, but Bruce Willis does a great job at playing tough, and my the actors in this movie are all great. So heck, go see it!

Ok, I am going to talk to those of you who have seen the movie. Did you like the background music in the movie, and thought to yourself: "Wow, that music is wonderful, I have to have it."

Well think no more about it then. The creators of this soundtrack CD has obviously done their homework. Almost ever background tune you heard in the movie, IS ON THIS CD. That means a lot of quality guitar mood music, taken of course from Last man Standing. Great music for romantic occasions, relaxing, and daydreaming.

Some would-be soundtracks get neglected, and released just for that extra buck. But if all soundtracks / scores were this great, I would have no trouble hitting the "buy" button of the movies were I thought the background music ruled!

1 out of 5 stars Mr capone e aka a chicano wanna be.......2006-08-05

I actually can belive someone is defending a pakistany rapper who tries to pimp the chicano rap culture. If you like his music well guess what he basically pimped you cause this vato aint mexican this dude is Paki period. A cholo wanna be i rather listen to mr shadow or anybody else thats actual mexican or chicano. But not this guy

5 out of 5 stars Raza Roll Deep.......2005-05-24

Im half pakistani and half mexican and it makes me mad why so much crap is written. Mexican cultura and pakistani culture is identical we share the same passions in life, come from warrior races and more importantly we are the same color. Mexicans need to realize that they are not the only brown skinned people in the world. While pakistanis need to realize what gringo america tells us about the chicanos is bs.im from both worlds and can tell you its the same.Ive scene mexicans that look pakistani and ive seen pakistani who look mexican. so this confirms we are connected. A black in jamica or a black from cuba is still black so why do you haterz try seperating us browns. Love our brown.

5 out of 5 stars putos.......2004-12-12

this all to the vatos who hate on us Mexicans and Chicanos(Mexican-Americans).this is to show u that we hate u for u write about us,cuz. u mess and talk about us then u mess with those Surenos for that bad-ass Sur 13 killas from da streets repen that blue bandana. all tha other races that hate(like Pakistanies?) who cares about putos like you just because you kill ya selves doesn't mean that ya'll gangstas, that shows that ya stupid for taking your own lives. Look at us, a race that accepts our selves we ain't haters, we just players. don't try to tell us what we are and what we aren't. like i said we don't care (we tru Brown People) cuz we are da best, ya ain't nothing. except little putitos. and this isnt to offend any Pakistani-Mexican people or Pakistani this is just to those haters who hate on us Brown.

4 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars from Eiht.......2004-11-03

Eiht's 3rd solo album and last on epic is probably his second worst but it still is a must have for fans. It has it's good songs but also some bad ones, he even said himself it's his least favorite album he's done. It has 9 ok songs, 1 that I skip, 1 classic, 1 great song and trhe rest are good. Production isn't as good as it should be from the people who handled it, DJ Slip & Eiht (6 songs each), Daz Dillinger & Massive (1 song each), and DJ Muggs (4 songs) If only he got the airplay he deserves at least on the east coast (couldn't say for the west -much like Spice 1 or DJ Quik and many other Cali rappers) he'd have at least 10 million solo records sold and a bunch of platinum plaques.

4 out of 5 stars okay but not his best.......2003-10-23

eiht said himself he did'nt like this lp since he was going through some issues at the time some cuts are tight some you can tell eiht wanna just quit rapping and go back to selling dope on the corner my fave is can i get mine cause eiht always represented the streetlife to me and those beats he puts out make you wanna get in the car and run a few red lights.

4 out of 5 stars MC Eiht "Last Man Standing".......2002-10-26

MC Eihts "Last Man Standing" his third album and last before he moved from Epic to Priority is nice. Known by many from movies such as Boyz N the Hood and Menace to Society, and soundtrack songs like "Growin' Up in the Hood". Have to admit I have been sleeping on him for years, never copped an album of his, and only recently got a chance to listen to "Last Man Standing". MC Eiht reps Compton with nice relaxed beats, and hardcore tight lyrics. MC Eiht's and DJ Slip's production is ill and features tracks produced by Daz Dilinger (DPG) and Muggs who are both nice producers. Right now my favourite tracks on the album is Any Meanz, which is a funky laid back track with a dope beat. MC Eiht speaks to the streets, and the album flows nicely throughout. An album worth checking out.

    Dakota fans rejoice! They are back in a big way and keep getting better. The first track "Hot Nights" and "Last Standing Man" rock you from the start as the lyrics explain the band's perspective on uniting, writing and performing again. There are philosophical messages to be appreciated as the smoking guitars, keyboards and airtight harmonies expand your consciousness and move something deep inside of you. It gets better with every listen and is great for the sole driver on his commute home after a hard day's work. You'll love belting out Dakota tunes. The band's next two albums, Little Victories and Deep 6 (favorite) are both excellent.

    Elmer Bernstein created a wonderful and passionate score for Last Man Standing that, sadly, didn't match the context of the film. His cues are exciting and soothing and the Track 6-Felina's Story and Track 7-Free have a beautiful, gentle and relaxing theme. This really is cool music. Track 8-The Beating is powerful and perhaps the only track on the CD that would have suited the film. The action cues in the beginning and end of this track will blow you away. It's a shame there is not more of it but this CD makes for 32 minutes of rare and delightful music.
