Chuck Berry

Before shuffling off this mortal coil earlier this year at the age of 90, the rock-and-roll pioneer Chuck Berry left behind his first new album in almost 40 years, featuring almost all new material written by the legend.  Chuck was recorded around his home base of St. Louis, and features the local group that has backed him on 200+-dates over the past two decades.  The group includes his children Charles Berry Jr. (guitar) and Ingrid Berry (harmonica), plus Jimmy Marsala (Berry's bassist of forty years), Robert Lohr (piano), and Keith Robinson (drums).  Available on CD, LP, and DD.
