M. Ward pulled out a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Roll Over Beethoven” to begin the first of four encores last week in Milwaukee. Long as I’ve been a fan, I’ve never heard him cover this tune. It was an absolute scorcher live. If presented with an opportunity to see him on this tour, please don’t pass it up. I’ve added his Milwaukee play to my running tab of favorite concerts from the year thus far.
