CBII,

For me it's your Dad, Hubert, Jimmy Reed, and Keef. Chuck and Hubert pretty much invented Rock n Roll guitar.

Hey, CB II, thanks for posting this. Is this the song your Dad was talking about
in the movie? I've always wondered which tune it was.

1941, 17 years BEFORE Johnny B. Goode:





Carl Hogan (whose influence Chuck readily acknowledged in his book).

Chuck recorded a great version of this song for Fresh Berry's album:





Louis Jordan is a huge influence on Chuck. Listen to this:

Ah, one of the many highlights of Hail, Hail Rock 'n' Roll was listening to Chuck speak about his influences.

I'm not overly thrilled with Chuck's version of Just Like A Woman because it's from his mid-60's period, and the sound of that era is a little too slick at times for me. The guitar especially isn't as gritty and raw as the earlier stuff. I'm also not crazy about how he plays around with the lyrics on it either. I know that's one of Chuck's things, but it doesn't always work for me, and this is one of those times. I think it's good, just not great.

I know Chuck was heavily influenced by Louis Jordan, but I don't really hear anything in particular in Choo-Choo-Ch-Boogie, like I do in Ain't That Just Like A Woman. What here stands out to you Dali?

That Charlie Christian recording: wow - I don't recall the last time I was so impressed. That's some mighty fine playing.

Sorry, bustedtrousers, I just read your post today.





The sax solo is so Chuck Berry-esque. Specifically, listen to that riff that goes from 1:59 to 2:10.

Here's another example of a Louis Jordan's sax solo that resembles Chuck's playing (I know this song was recorded in 1973, but it's just an example of Jordan's playing):





For instance, listen to 0:10 - 0:30 and 3:57-4:02.
