An infinite number of songs can each be THE greatest record ever made, as long as they take turns. I like that idea so much I'm writing a book about it. And I'm promoting that book with a weekly video series, discussing each of the book's chosen tracks one by one.
This week's GREM! video rant is about "Promised Land" by Chuck Berry. And yeah, I'm aware of the unwelcome dichotomy of talking about a promised land as we await election results. Don't know the song? Listen to it here. Then check out my little testimonial on its behalf:
If you dig these rants, please subscribe to my YouTube channel and tell your friends to swear undying loyalty, or at least, y'know, drop by sometime. NEXT WEEK: Miss Dusty Springfield and "I Only Want To Be With You." Hope ya join me then.
