Live Ledge #86: Chuck Berry's Belated Birthday

As anybody who has listened to my recent shows probably knows, I had planned to celebrate Chuck Berry's 86th birthday the day after the momentous occasion. Unfortunately, as I was putting the show together, I came down with severe pain which was ultimately diagnosed as kidney stones.
Now that I'm back to (almost) perfect health, I figured this was a topic worth airing anyway. Along with some extremely deep cuts from Chuck's catalog, tonight's show is almost all covers of the real King of Rock 'n' Roll. From his contemporaries in the 50's (Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee Lewis) to the British Invasion acts who idolized him (Rolling Stones, Yardbirds) to more recent punk acts (Groovie Ghoulies, Replacements), there aren't many bands who haven't covered the grand master.
By now, you should know the drill. You can find this show (and all my other Ledge eps) in iTunes. Or you can stream it on Stitcher. Or have them all on my android/iPhone app, The Ledge. Or you can just...
