Playlist: The Chuck Berry I Listen To

The funny, strange, and beautiful side of Chuck

Listen to my favorite recent Beatles episode: Paul McCartney on Drums


I was really glad to get so many notes about Friday’s Chuck Berry episode — especially from people who said they had no idea he was this cool.

Yes! He is!

Here’s a long playlist built from the episode, plus some extra tracks to fill out the picture — including a few by Chuck’s heroes.

And if you haven’t listened to the episode yet and you’re thinking this is just some old-timey rock ’n’ roll you don’t need… I’d really recommend you give it a shot. This stuff is totally alive. And it’s cool! Yes, it’s actually cool I swear. And it’s funny, strange, and beautiful.

It will leap out of your speakers.

Do it!
