Set 1American Routes converses with the killer himself at his ranch in Nesbit, MS! In the aftermath of a fan frenzy event, it's a back porch visit with Jerry Lee Lewis, the undisputed king of country boogie piano, about his historic bad-boy antics and his place in the history of rock and roll. Plus music that influenced Jerry Lee from his Delta boyhood in Ferriday Louisiana to his golden piano throne at Memphis Sun Records. Included are other great piano players like Fats Domino, Jelly Roll Morton, Moon Mullican and Ray Charles, as well as an original blues version of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" by Big Maybelle. Also avant piano sounds from Thelonius Monk and Medeski, Martin and Wood, and a tribute to the late king of zydeco nouveau accordion, Beau Jocque.
