Title track
from Joe Stampley’s 1976 album is a paean
to Chuck Berry, complete with Berry-like guitar riffs and melody. It references at least three of the
legendary rocker’s songs:
“Johnny B. Goode”, “Promised Land”, and “Roll
over Beethoven”. Obviously,
this country-rocker is more rock than country, but it did enjoy a brief run
on the country chart, and the album went to #38. It also appears on Joe Stampley’s Greatest
Hits.
