What was Mercury thinking by not releasing this? Swamp Dogg's playing his ass off.

Joe, Chuck incorporated country guitar licks into his music, especially influenced by Jimmie Rodgers.

@eric: I also like that extremely drunken version from an R.E.M. b-side.

"When he and rockabilly artist Carl Perkins toured together, Perkins discovered that Berry truly liked country music and that Jimmie Rodgers was one of his favorites. "Chuck knew every Blue Yodel" and most of Bill Monroe's songs as well, Perkins said."
