Last Man Standing (Jerry Lee Lewis album)
2006 album by Jerry Lee Lewis
Last Man Standing is the thirty-ninth studio album released by American rock and roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis in September 2006. The album consists of duets between Lewis and some of the biggest names in both rock and country music, past and present. The title derives from the generation of 1950s Sun Studios recording artists such as Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Charlie Rich, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley—all of whom had died, leaving Lewis the "last man standing". Lewis died in October 2022, sixteen years and one month following the album's release. Following the success of the album, a DVD Last Man Standing Live was released featuring similar duets with famous artists.

Why this record matters
“Last Man Standing (Jerry Lee Lewis album)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Last, Standing and Jerry provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115009. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006 and 2022.
