While researching my previous post, “A Requiem for Multitudes: Revisiting Chuck Berry’s America,” I ran across this interview with Chuck that didn’t fit tonally in the piece. I found it on BuzzFeed, who got it from a now-defunct blog called Music Ruined My Life, who in turn got it from an actual printed zine from […]Related Posts* chuck-berry-jetlag-reviews November 1, 2016 * chuck-berry October 19, 2016 * chuck-berry-smokin October 28, 2016 * chuck-berry-duck-walkin October 28, 2016 * chuck-berry-debbie-harry October 28, 2016

Chuck Berry – Memphis Amazon http://www.box.net/shared/static/curbzy86dk.mp3 I’ve heard this Chuck Berry song probably a thousand times in my life and its devastating brilliance never really hit me until now. Don’t get me wrong, I always thought it was a good tune.
