Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire — on a cake! The one and only Jerry Lee Lewis would have turned 89 today. Talk about a lot of candles. And rest assured, The Killer knew how to party — while shooting off a pistol (as one does) to celebrate his 41st birthday on Sept. 29, 1976, he accidentally plugged his bassist in the chest. Hey, we’ve all been there. Whatever you get up to today, take after Jerry Lee and have a blast. But first, take aim at the 550-plus albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes on the way. There’s a whole lotta releasin’ goin’ on:
