A Whole Lotta...Jerry Lee Lewis: The Definitive Retrospective is a 4-disc box set by American rock and roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis. It was released in 2012 by Salvo Records and Universal Music Group. It consists of 106 songs recorded between 1956 and 1989 for the Sun, Smash, Mercury, Elektra, and MCA record labels and contains a 70-page booklet written by rock historian Roger W. Dopson. All tracks were remastered by Tim Turan at Turan Audio.
The set showcases Lewis' versatility as a performer and recording artist, with rock and roll numbers such as "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire", country-western songs such as "Another Place, Another Time" and "What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)", blues/R&B cuts such as "Big Boss Man" and "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee", and gospel tracks such as "Thirteen at the Table" and "Me and Jesus" (the latter a duet with sister Linda Gail Lewis).




Reception



Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic criticized the relative lack of Sun cuts—only 13 total out of 106 tracks—but felt the collection made up for it by delving deep into Lewis' country music catalogue in the 1960s and 1970s for Smash and Mercury Records. While feeling the collection was hampered slightly by the lack of Sun recordings, he ultimately concluded it was better and more comprehensive than the 1993 Lewis set All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology.
Cila Warncke of Penny Black Music Magazine wrote: "As a purely musical artefact this four CD compilation, with its hundred-plus tracks, 70-page biographical booklet by rock historian Roger Dopson, and sturdy triple fold box, can rightly claim to be “The Definitive Retrospective”."
AllMusic, Uncut, and Record Collector all gave the set 5-out-of-5 stars.
