What else would you expect from the Killer? My favorite (and the lead-off) track from the CD is below, and features Jerry Lee, along with Jimmy Page, do...

While I do not come close to owning a complete collection of Jerry Lee Lewis, I have never bought a release of his that did not contain some standout dynamite tracks.

Tosches manages to cram it all in, however, and thi...

Happy New Year from Grand Palace Records! Well, we made it through our first calendar year with almost all of our limbs intact, as most of you know we have retired from having shows. I know, I am broken up about it too, but what can you do, it was an incredible year and a half. Thanks to all of you for your support. Lucky for us Casa Burrito is carrying the banner as well as big cheap-ass be...
