CHUCK - pressed on limited edition berry wax: In honor of his 90th birthday, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Chuck Berry announced CHUCK a new album for the first time in 38 year. The Father of Rock and Roll’s 20th and final studio album was released posthumously in 2017.
Live from Blueberry Hill - pressed on limited edition green and blue splatter wax: Live at Blueberry Hill makes plain the comfort and freedom Berry felt playing on his home turf in these wonderfully loose and spontaneous performances culled from the Duck Room shows taking place between July 2005 and January 2006. Like most of his shows, it’s packed with the classics fans came to hear: “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Rock and Roll Music,” “Sweet Little Sixteen,” “Nadine,” and, of course, “Johnny B. Goode.” But Chuck also tears it up on “Let It Rock,” with daughter Ingrid honking on harmonica. “Carol”/“Little Queenie” offers one of those moments when Chuck starts in one place and ends up in another, all the while making it clear that it was obviously the right thing to do. There’s a full-tilt take on “Around and Around”; “Bio,” a rollicking blues on which Chuck tells his own story as only he can; and “Mean Old World,” a classic slow blues the showed how even the Father of Rock and Roll could acknowledge his forebears.
