CD Fan Review
Thirty seminal rock-and-roll hits, all on one compact disc, and clocking in at just over an hour. That's a pretty concise and pretty comprehensive overview of the career heyday of the man who started it all – the one and only Chuck Berry.
Thirty seminal rock-and-roll hits, all on one compact disc, and clocking in at just over an hour. That's a pretty concise and pretty comprehensive overview of the career heyday of the man who started it all – the one and only Chuck Berry.
"Roll
Over Beethoven" (famously covered by The Beatles during their
Hamburg shows), "Maybelline," "Johnny B. Goode" –
they're all here, the important and historic ones, at least.
Although
the majority of the recordings are from the 1950s, the clarity and
fidelity of the sound shine brightly, especially Berry's articulate
vocals and stinging, sparkling guitar riffs.
The
result is an engaging and entertaining retrospective fitting for
rock's first singer and six-stringer.
