Jerry Lee Lewis gets "Mean" on new all-star set

Still (miraculously) alive and kicking, Jerry Lee Lewis will unleash his Verve Records set "Mean Old Man" -- the sequel to the 2006 collection of all-star duets "Last Man Standing" -- on Sept. 7, just 22 days before his 75th birthday.

Produced by drummer Jim Keltner and gazillionaire Steve Bing (whose Shangri-La Records released "Last Man Standing"), the new collection once again mates the piano-pumping rock 'n' roll legend with a full slate of luminaries. Here's the track listing, with guests, for the deluxe 18-cut version of the album:

1. “Mean Old Man” w. Ronnie Wood (written by Kris Kristofferson)
2. “You Can Have Her” w. Eric Clapton/James Burton

The album will also be available in a 10-track standard edition; the iTunes version will include an exclusive bonus track, the JLL-Shelby Lynne duet "Here Comes That Rainbow."

OK, SoundCheck has a question for Jerry Lee: Why must you take Kid Rock with you wherever you go?
