Rock 'n' Roll

The late US musician Chuck Berry's legacy as The Father of Rock 'n' Roll has been secure for decades.

For those who still have questions, Berry has left behind Chuck, his first new studio album since 1979's Rock It, to silence the doubters.

Chuck is filled with the passion and inventiveness of his early work, as well as his sense of humor.

Berry's guitar drives Lady B. Goode, the sequel to his classic about Johnny. He also sings from his older, wiser point of view. Darlin', his duet with daughter Ingrid Berry, is poignant, as they tell each other "the good times come, but do not stay".

The potent combination makes Chuck one of Berry's best albums, possibly his strongest ever from start to finish.
