Hi. If so, which ones? Which album, if known.

Not that I recall off the top of my head (someone please correct me if my memory is faulty), but Jerry Reed recorded a Chuck Berry medley on the "Hot a Mighty" album. There's also a video floating around of Jerry (with Paul Yandell) performing the medley on the Porter wagoner Show about 1973.

I agree with Craig.

Part of the problem is I don't know all of Berry's tunes but I'm pretty sure Chet didn't do any of Chuck's classics.

Actually, Chet did play just a little smidgen of one on album - on Guitar Monsters with Les Paul, that song "I'm Your Greatest Fan" - at one point Chet's erroneously pointing out Les's playing on songs including "Memphis," a Chuck Berry tune, albeit he plays the more famous Lonnie Mack version.
