What could be better? It’s clever, it’s wholly unpretentious, it hasn’t got a chorus but sounds traditional as all get-out. I got a Chuck Berry collection called The Great Twenty-Eight after the Band’s version of “Going Back to Memphis” kick-started my memory and guess what: it’s all better than great. It’s priceless. And yes, I know -- this isn’t exactly news. It’s nothing you’d want to admit to not knowing if you didn’t already. But every so often some song from the distant pass puts the fire of God on you and you gotta preach. I thank you for indulging me. I promise to cover something more current and less relevant next Sunday night.
