2006:
Jerry Lee Lewis' 2006 album, Last Man Standing is subtitled The Duets. While each track on the album does, in fact, feature a list of impressive musicians, the album is all Jerry Lee Lewis. The opening song is Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll, but don't expect it to sound anything like what you're used to or to be hearing Jimmy Page's guitar work as more than support to Lewis' piano. Having heard this version of the song once I don't need to hear it again. One of the very best versions that I listen to all the time is Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins at Wembley in 2008 (see playlist below).
Lewis' album's title refers to the 1950s musicians that helped create rock and roll - Jerry Lee Lewis was the last one still alive at the time of the album's release. Jerry Lee Lewis's last on-stage performance was in 2019, though in March of 2020, it was announced that he and T-Bone Burnett, were recording a new album of gospel covers. Lewis died October 28, 2022.
