The Rolling Stones Song of the Day is- Let It Rock. Let It Rock is a song written by the King of Rock and Roll Music- Chuck Berry. Let It Rock was on the 1960 Chuck Berry album “Rockin’ At The Hops”- as a single it reached #64 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has been covered by many artists but most famously by The Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones released it as the b-side to Brown Sugar in the UK.
I can hear Chuck Berry but I can also hear a Dylan-y-ness to it as well. Berry trumps Dylan, I wonder if Dylan has ever said he was influenced by Berry?
Dylan over the years has mentioned those 50’s rockers being a big influence- although he himself didn’t ‘rock’ until the mid 60’s. i think lyrically Berry had to be an influence.
