Remakes

This is an interesting collection of songs that were some of the best rock and roll in the days of Chuck Berry's youth. These are unfortunately not of the same quality as the originals.

Texas Guitar

By John Morthland, eMusic Contributor

Postwar, electric blues guitar in Texas all derives from T-Bone Walker, says conventional wisdom, and when you hear a great stylist like Pee Wee Crayton soloing in that jazzy, single-string tradition, it seems like an immutable law.
