Comment:
Sure, he's got a reputation for being a total pervo and music business prick. And maybe he stole a bunch of songs from his piano player. And maybe he shows up to play, keeps his car running, and never tells the backing band what song or key he's playing. And hell, maybe he's even installed a video camera or two in public restrooms. Forget about all that for a moment. Chuck Berry could rock. I was listening to the Spiders' version of "Johnny B. Goode" recently (thanks, Jim) and I got to thinking about all my fave Chuck Berry covers. Here's a few of them, with a couple original Chuck numbers (and a more-derivative-than-usual Rutles tune) thrown in for good measure. To me, Chuck is the Jesus Christ of guitarists. Or maybe Jesus Christ is the Chuck Berry of Christianity. Ah well, whatever the case, let it rock indeed.Feedback:
Wow! This is really good Sean. Nice job.
long live Chuck !!!
Great idea! I'd love to hear this.
chuck berry totally stole his sound from a time travelling michael j. fox. this looks nice, you can call it "sean's great ten plus eight"
Great stuff Sean. This is something I had been thinking about for a while. You beat me to the punch! Not a bad track in sight.
Very cool.
very nice , it's amazing how many people have covered good 'ole Chuck. I think I have the 8-track with My Ding a Ling on it
..not bad at all for a St. Louisan! Nice "tribute" disc Sean.., real nice! Pull a cold one outta' the coolerator an' settle in.....
Great stuff, Sean! Cool idea and good picks.
chuck is king!
Cool idea Sean! And YES! God bless Chuck Berry!
Gee willickers, dude :) I just can't believe you left off The Amazing Hoagies version of 'Whip It'
Chuck Berry, the poet laureate of rock. Nice idea and good picks!
Berry berry good Sean! Nice to see Pianosaurus again.
something about those Berry tunes,
how could any band resist 'em? This looks like a fitting tribute - good picks!

Great mix Sean! I think Chuck would be flattered.
how in the world can you have achuck berry mix without a single chuck berry song. dude, your just not right on this one. when barry was recording his 80's stuff up in minnesota, their was some other guy really honkin' up a storm, rockstyle. that man was paul westerbird. paul was a good god fearing man and rarely wrote about the devil or "gettin his fix ohn." he was more into stuff like archives and gentlemanliness and takin out the trash. when chuck barry tried to get him to come out on a tour with him and his group, paul said, "not if drugs, alcohol or the ways of the devil will play a role in the music or the presentation. obvioulsy, he didn't go and was forced to take a job at a tuna canning factory to make ends meat. sean, can I ask why you are so inspired by people like joe ramone and chuck berry, their not of the earth, they are mystical demons swiltering all of out carpets about all of our heads. ALL of our heads, dude. great mix :)
Nice mix. Chuck is it! I wrote him a fan letter back in the early seventies. I would have been disappointed if he actually wrote back...Rock on Chuck!
Great selections Sean. I didn't realise that The Rutles covered him also. I give it 5!!
This is fantastic, and your quote "Chuck is the Jesus Christ of guitarists. Or maybe Jesus Christ is the Chuck Berry of Christianity" made it even better!
