Comment:
It's hard for me to induct Chuck Berry, because I lifted every lick he ever played!
I nicked the title on the artwork, Keef-style, from XYZ, but opted for the Reelin' & Rockin' title for reasons expressed below. Thanks also to Marc for the inspiration on the Mott.
Although it is not alt-dj necessarily, I have decided to post this, my own take on a Chuck Berry Tribute, under the Gutbucket Brothers Brand. I know that AOTM has just got to have about half a million Chuck mixes, but we have pure motives.
Funky saw Chuck last month at Blueberry Hill here on the Delmar Loop in St. Louis. My dad and a friend and I just went to see the Man Friday night, also in the appropriately-named Duck Room (see video below), so I feel like shared credit is appropriate in this case. You can't tell in the video, but the Duck Room only holds about ~200 folks, so it was a quite intimate performance. I would describe the performance from last weekend as cathartic, to say the least.
I had seen Chuck for the first time when he was still with Johnnie Johnson at the Blue Note in Columbia. I was with the Wad and since we were able to sit in the gimp section, we were right up front. Chuck even fired off a tune pointing his axe at Steve.But he was never so animated as he was this past Friday night.
Between the duckwalk, the clowning, the solos, the broken strings, his son Charles Berry Jr. putting in some nice fills for the old man, and then ending it with a 10 minute jam on a ribald version of Reelin' & Rockin' that culminated with 40 gals of all colours, ages, shapes and sizes (though befitting Chuck, there were a majority of young white women) boogieing on stage for him. As the chickadees cleared out of the way, Chuck moseyed off stage, still jamming, to finish his solo out in a chair in his dressing room.
Beautiful Delilah, indeed!
After Chuck was gone, his son stepped up to thank the crowd and the band. A guy yelled out "He's the Real King" and Charles nodded in agreement.
I agree as well, but Promised Land is the perfect melding of the minds with Elvis' cover here, which is not only the best-realized Chuck cover, but the most powerful Elvis song, period (to quote Rafael Palmiero and IMnotsoHO).
I also couldn't help adding a couple redneck flourishes and other doowad touches.
And as a final note to all the European and NY-based AOTMers, Chuck will be on tour soon. Here is the schedule, starting in Moscow no less and ending in Espa±a (no UK, sorry Sammy).
Feedback:
Nice. I did a single-disc set of just Chuck a few years ago, but this really adds a new dimension to the endeavor by including covers and songs that either Chuck nicked or that include licks lifted of Chuck's. Really great work.
No jodas. +Con 81 a±os toca un dfa sf y el otro tambiTn?
Chuck is the father of rock 'n' roll in my eyes.
wonderful tribute - hemmy nailed it
OK - I have to speak up here and give a brag. I saw Chuck play live about a year ago. He had a mess of women get up on stage and dance with him, and I could not resist. At the end of the song I KISSED CHUCK BERRY!!! And yeah, I'm with Hemmy on this one.
Brilliant!
excellent stuff ! Every time I listen to Chuck I remember just how good he is and wonder why I don't play more of him.
This is a truly wonderful tribute. I've never met, nor kissed the mighty Chuck, but I've always loved his music. He certainly did influence a helluva lot of great musicians..
amazing piece of work
Really great job, Derek - and yes, as far as the live show went, you hit the nail right on the head.
Love this!
