nice bait
If Jerry didn't go and marry his teenage cousin I'm sure he'd be considered the undisputed GOAT of early Rock n Roll

He already is despite that

Why did he have the face of a 45 year old when he was like 22?

because men back then didn't have the beta genes of today
Young Blood [Sire, 1995]
If the blood were literally young, the Killer would now be the Vampire. Instead, producer-wunderaltekacker Andy Paley is the Ghoul. Jerry Lee can still rock the 88s, but his natural voice is a croak or a wheeze, as he proves by heroically holding "Gotta Travel On"'s final "long" until it tails into the pitchless pit he's already filled with croaks and wheezes. He couldn't get away with "Thirty-Nine and Holding" at 45. Yet at 60 he still wishes he was 18 again. C+
Last Man Standing [Favorite Gentlemen/Canvasback, 2006]
Decades later, generation-gap duets are just a bunch of old guys singing--pretty good, too ("That Kind of Fool," "Rock and Roll"). ***
Mean Old Man [Verve Forecast, 2010]
The Killer's many wives etc. (those who are alive, anyway) will tell you he's not really mean--that's just Kristofferson kidding around ("Mean Old Man," "Sweet Virginia") *

Gee, all the reviews here make it sound like his voice was still in great shape.
I'd like to hear this album.
I'll bet he tore the whole place apart.
Probably even better than The Beatles Star Club album.

Those reviews are being PC and not wanting to insult a music legend. Christgau just doesn't give a fuck if he hurts people's feelings by saying that JLL's voice was shit by 1995.
