Hellfire
The Jerry Lee Lewis Story
Nick Tosches
This biography delves into the dramatic and tumultuous life of a rock 'n' roll icon, Jerry Lee Lewis. Born into a family of wildness in Louisiana, Lewis struggled between his Pentecostal faith and his demons - including drugs, alcohol, and the boogie-woogie piano. Despite soaring success and fame, his life was plagued by scandal and addictions. Written with audacious artistry, Hellfire offers a riveting look into the soul of this remarkable musician.
