Chuck Berry – Let It Rock
We didn't have a tribute post to the legend. Post your favorite Chuck tunes below.

Ozomatli “Super Bowl Sundae”
Later with Jools Holland, 1998
Most of the original lineup, with Chali 2Na (but not DJ Cut Chemist).
The one cussword in the original has been elided.
Joe Walsh – In The City
Joe Walsh is opening for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers this summer. If he doesn't play this song, I'll cry.
I know I'm breaking the rules by not playing a live recording, but this is what I picture every time I hear this song.

Lissie – Shameless
I saw Lissie play one of the Current's microshows at Icehouse last year. I didn't understand that microshow meant that she'd only play a few songs. I thought it referred to the size of the venue. I looked for parking for longer than she played.
Josh Ritter – Where The Night Goes
My brother gave me this CD. He saw Ritter perform in a record store. Admission was the purchase of a new CD. My brother gave me the extra after he and his wife both bought one. It's really grown on me. I've got a couple of his older albums too. He was just touring with Jason Isbell. I've seen Isbell twice but I've never seen Ritter.
Cracker – Almond Grove
I saw Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven a couple weeks ago at the Fine Line. I wasn't real excited but thought it would be fun. A friend is a big fan and it was only $20. I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked their "new" music that I'd never heard before.
Drive-By Truckers – What It Means
Since we have recently discussed the Drive-By Truckers, I'd figure I'd go with this one first. It is one of my favorites from the latest album. And I think their latest album is their best since Jason Isbell was in the band.
I like my protest music to tell stories and ask questions.
