Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Jerry Lee Lewis" in English language version.
"He fished from his pool of old honky-tonk and rock 'n' roll songs"...
His drive, his timing, his off-hand vocal power, his unmistakable boogie-plus piano, and his absolute confidence in the face of the void make Jerry Lee the quintessential rock and roller. He's a country artist out of geography and simple pique at rock's scared-shitless powers-that-be—it was the inadequacy of country's moralism, after all, that drove him to rockabilly.
He made his public debut in 1949 at 14, sitting in with a local country/western band in a Ford dealership parking lot.
