The Killer Rocks On is a studio album by American rock and roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis, released on Mercury Records in 1972.
Producer Jerry Kennedy recalled of the sessions to Lewis biographer Nick Tosches, "He wanted everybody there. He didn't want anything overdubbed later. It was a mess. We had an acre of people there - voices, strings, everything. And, as always, Jerry Lee started changin' keys, and the arranger was goin' crazy, havin' to rewrite stuff for the string section..."[2]
