'The greatest rock 'n' roll biography ever written' Rolling Stone
'You're lookin' at a livin' legend.' He said, and then fell silent
for a moment. 'Y'know, that really worries me. I always thought a
legend was somethin' dead.' The tormented life of Jerry Lee Lewis
is the most fabled in rock 'n' roll history. Demon-shadowed and
God-fearing, his relentless, all-consuming pursuit of
self-destruction clouded his life and his music. Born in deep south
Louisiana and raised on the Old Testament, 'The Killer' was
continually torn between a harsh Pentecostal God and the worship of
alcohol, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. Nick Tosches's electrifying
account chronicles the monumental highs and lows of the ever
indomitable and ever wild Jerry Lee, who rises to dizzying heights
as a rock 'n' roll icon, only to lose it time and time again to his
inner demons. Searing, mythic and gloriously written, Hellfire is
an evocative, audacious journey into the soul of rock 'n' roll
itself. 'The finest book ever written about a rock 'n' roll
performer' - Greil Marcus 'The best rock-and-roll biography ever
written' - Newsday 'Probably the best, certainly the most readable,
account of a rock performer's life' - Guardian 'A work of art' -
The Boston Globe
