CHUCK BERRY
Demos & Rarities

He’s always been one of the building blocks of rock n’ roll; writing his own material and inspiring generations with his groundbreaking guitar work. This week, Matt The Cat digs into Chuck Berry’s creative process as we present some of Chuck’s early demos for the songs that would make him famous. We’ll hear early versions of “Rock And Roll Music” and “Sweet Little Sixteen” as well as the only known 50s record where Chuck played session guitar and didn’t sing. Hear another side of Chuck Berry, this week on Harlem.
