Jerry Lee Lewis - The Session
Michael Gray, Let It Rock, July 1973
WHEN YOU HEAR of an album a fortnight or so before getting hold of it, and pepper the intermediate couple of weeks with anticipation, you are likely to feel an ominous disquiet when, on its arrival, what is first in your hands is an excrutiatingly over-elaborate piece of packaging. And so it was with Jerry Lee Lewis' new double-album, The Session (Recorded In London With Great Guest Artists).
