In rotation during lockdown, Concerto In B Goode by Chuck Berry. Did you know Chuck Berry wrote four more pieces about Johnny B. Goode? Berry wrapped “Bye Bye Johnny,” “Go Go Go,” “Johnny B. Blues,” and “Lady B. Goode” up in an 18 minute 44 second track called Concerto In B Goode, on an album of the same name. The tracks on the album include:
1 | Put Her Down | 4:54 |
2 | Good Looking Woman | 2:18 |
3 | It’s Too Dark In There | 3:53 |
4 | Concerto In B Goode | 18:44 |
5 | My Woman | 4:54 |
On the album played Chuck Berry (vocals, guitar) Lafayette Leake and Johnnie Johnson on piano, Willie Dixon on bass, and Fred Below and Jasper Thomas on drums.
Below is a bit of Bye Bye Johnny, along with Johny B. Goode from 1972, with Michael Snow on piano.
