The life story of Jerry Lee Lewis, the whisky-swilling, bible-toting pioneer of rock'n'roll, encapsulates all that is good and bad in the history of rock music.
Tracing his roots back to the early settlers of the Mississippi delta, Nick Tosches follows Jerry Lee's hell-raising career through his rise to fame, his fall from grace for marrying his 13-year-old cousin, his bouts with drugs and drink and his many triumphs as one of the enduring originals of rock.
Hellfire is a riveting portrait of a quintessential American anti-hero, a compelling tale of scandal, tragedy, dissipation, love and disaster, which reflects Jerry Lee's unique and inspired piano style, as well as his private anguish, torn between God and the Devil's music.
