Jerry Lee Lewis Looks to the Stones for Next Album

MUSIC NEWS - One of the original rockers, Jerry Lee Lewis , 73, recently said he is hoping to get Mick Jagger and Keith Richards onboard for his new album (and we hope they comply). Lewis is still rocking and is planning to release a blues-tinged record next year. He is about to headline at the London Rock 'n Roll Festival next Tuesday kicking off his Great Balls Of Fire European tour. At a press conference in London, Lewis said he would "probably have" the two Rolling Stones guesting on the new album. He described the record as "far out stuff. It's really good". Speaking of the Stones, Lewis said: "I have known them back when they were real young kids...

"Ain't that something? They ain't kids no more." Asked if he was still "The Killer ", his nickname; Lewis replied: "Yes sir. I'm a mean old man. That's the name of a song we've just recorded."

Lewis went on to say: "I enjoy music and I enjoy playing the crowds. If they ever stop coming I'll just quit playing." Still a music fan, he sometimes listens to music on an iPod lent to him by his daughter Phoebe Lewis.
