Hail Hail Rock n Roll

What appears to be over looked more often then people notice is the fact Chuck Berry was billed as country artists before he meet Muddy Waters and Chess. His rhythm and sweet voice was idolized from all over the world he was the sound that sent the world a flame and its the fact that all the English bands covered at least his sound or a song in full. Countless artists from the British invasion were replaying what had already been played in America but fell on deaf ears when the songs were first played by the original players. Howlin' Wolf  from Sun Records but latter persuade to join Chess was a huge move to solidify Chess as the home of electric blues. Wolf was the base of influence for Led Zeppelin while the Stones and Beatles loved everything Chuck played. What fueled the love for the blues in England was because of the extensive touring by the players of Chess through out England the exposer left its mark on the future generation of musicians.
