Filed under: News , Pop Culture , I Fought the Law , Politics as Usual Francois G. Durand, WireImage.com Rock 'n' roll history buffs, music aficionados and statue-loving citizens can relax now -- a short-lived protest against a proposed eight-foot Chuck Berry statue in his hometown of St. Louis, Mo. has been quieted after the local council rejected the protesters' bid to delay its installation . The statue will soon be a permanent [...]
Filed under: News , Pop Culture , Politics as Usual Barry Brecheisen, FilmMagic The installation of a statue of Chuck Berry has become mired in controversy in Berry's hometown of St. Louis, La. because of a disreputable misstep from long ago. The eight-foot statue pays tribute to Berry's legacy, as the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer's influence on rock 'n' roll is, literally, immeasurable -- way bigger than the eight feet of the statue.

She & Him/Monster of Folk’s M. Ward has not only been revisiting his back catalog of original solo material while on tour , but he has worked a varying list of cover songs — some of which he’s released studio versions of — into the live repertoire as well. Occasionally joined by tourmates Howe Gelb & the Band of Gypsies, Ward performed stripped-down versions of 1983 David Bowie hit “Let’s Dance,” Hold Time track Buddy Holly’s “Rave On,” Leonard Cohen’s “Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye,” and more. Below, we’ve culled the best new [...]

Ernest Tubb is gonna call up the gypsy woman. He's also sending out a worldwide hoodoo. Those are Chuck Berry's words of course, and it's a gift to us to hear Tubb sing them on his 1955 version of "Thirty Days" released two months after Chuck put out his second single for Chess. They both raced up the R&B and Country charts respectively, and established Chuck Berry as a first rate crossover artist/songwriter. Berry's guitar solo is chunky and rhythmic, soaring over and leading the rhythm section. Tubb calls out to his soloists: Billy Byrd, "Half-Moon" Bradley, and [...]
a.k.a. Oak Cliff T-Bone T-Bone walker is the reason the Blues is what it is today. Legend has it he was the first ever blues performer to use an electric guitar. He roamed the streets of dallas at age 15 opening for national acts and String bands. By the time he was in his twenties he was in Los Angeles headlinging on Central Avenue. I know you've heard this one Inspiring a generation of Bluesmen [...]
Boston-native Bob Margolin has spent his life around blues music's most legendary figures, famously working as a member of the late Muddy Waters' band from 1973-80. He's also played with Pinetop Perkins, Jerry Portnoy, Carey Bell and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, appeared with Waters during The Band's legendary "Last Waltz" concert film on Thanksgiving Day 1976, and performed at the
Charles Edward Berry, musician of the parish of St Louis, Missouri, may be the most anthologised artist in the history of rock. At the time of writing there have been no fewer than forty-two different compilations of his recordings, most of which endlessly recycle the hits, of course. Thus it’s refreshing to discover this delightful assemblage of thirty-one genuine juke-box-friendly rarities from the finest storyteller in rock, spanning his recording career from 1955 to 1973 and highlighting his fertile post-enitentiary period at Chess and Mercury, 1964-68. The tracks can be categorised into several interesting bags. First up, there are familiar instrumental arrangements with unexpected [...]
We arrived during Cults set, and caught a band often too overlooked on last year's 'best of' lists. But not by everybody, "Go Outside" was recently re-released through Columbia. Judging by their set, and if we were gamblers (and a gentleman never tells), we'd bet pretty handsomely that you'll be seeing a lot more action from Cults in 2011. Cults - Go Outside The Vaccines set was full of energy, fast-paced, and over before you knew what had happened. [...]

My dad died on the 28 th October 2010 after a long battle with cancer. My dad was an accomplished guitar player and in his younger life he had been in a band called Deke Holt and the Beat Boys.

Prefixmag.comIn case you're not up-to-date with controversies over large metal objects in St. Louis, then here's an update: There has been a argument brewing in the city of Arches lately over a proposed statue of Chuck Berry, who is from St. Louis, because protestors have taken umbrage with basically everything Berry has done since, oh, about 1962 (when he was charged with bringing a woman across state lines for immoral purposes). However, the statue was approved this week, as city coucilpeople acknowledged Berry's contributions to popular culture (you know, all of rock) while confirming dude has had some questionable events [...]

TUNE THE PROLETARIATChuck Berry - Maybellene Sliding down the driveway in slippers with your arms flailing and your neighbors are watering their begonias. Ah! Your knees won't stop kicking. You're playing air-guitar in your underwear and slapping the arms off of your lounge-chairs. You're smiling. It's that morning and you have that highway sound in your lungs. Your neighbor looks over, bemused. You stretch that smile a half-mile wider and yell, "Fuck, we're good! We're so good. We're better than anybody has ever been and you have one option: get in the fucking car and scream!" [ [...]
