OCTOBER Release - "Let it Rock (Let it Roll)"

“Let it Rock (Let it Roll)” is a class Chuck Berry song and features his iconic guitar licks and chord progressions. It was released in July of 1959 and climbed the charts until it peaked at #64 in February of 1960.

Last March when Mike and Vic were in the studio together to record the vocals for “Good Old Country Song”, they were taking a trip down memory lane and talking about all the songs they used to sing together. “Let it Roll” (same song, different name) on Red Boot Star was a standout memory for them and we all thought it was another great candidate for a music refresh.

It took us a few months to get it going, but the timing worked out great. We knew the male range would have to feature Mike and Vic since it was another one of “their songs” and they already owned it. The voice on the female key had yet to be decided.

Enter Kris Jensen. Chic Recordings donated a recording opportunity to be auctioned off at the CALLERLAB convention and Kris was the highest bidder. When I queried her about what kind of song/genre she prefers, it turned out this song was right in her wheelhouse. We sent her the rough track, confirmed the right key for her, and she took it and ran! She recorded a GREAT vocal, and used additional lyrics to tell the story of the song. I’m so excited for her and excited for you to hear it. I had a ton of fun learning the harmony and singing along with her.

Of course, Mike and Vic knocked their vocal out of the park, too! It’s so fun for me to hear these two singing together again. They make it look so easy.

Jimmy did a great job bringing the Chuck Berry sound to life! This is a fun and driving song and I hope you enjoy it!
