Again, yet another rock ‘n’ roll classic by Chuck Berry.
The session of “Blue Feeling” (a nice, bluesy instrumental) included a demo version of “Rock and Roll Music” without a bass player. It also included Berry’s earlier release “School Day”.
“Rock and Roll Music” has been covered by many, many artists and groups; here’s few: the Archies, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Canned Heat, Humble Pie, Jan & Dean, REO Speedwagon, the Dave Clark Five and Tenpole Tudor.
