| He is universally known as the father of rock & roll. He consistently broke down barriers in modern music and introduced the world to a universe of new sounds. He influenced countless artists, many who are now legends themselves. He is the man who brought us "Roll Over Beethoven", "Johnny B. Goode", "Maybellene", and "Rock and Roll Music" among so many others. He is, of course, Chuck Berry. Dualtone is proud and excited to present CHUCK, the legend's first album in nearly 40 years. Composed of nearly all brand-new original songs, the record is a triumphant nod to both Berry's 90 years of life and his illustrious career. His longtime hometown backing group (which has been with him for decades and for hundreds of shows) appears on this record, plus Jimmy Marsala (Berry's bassist of forty years), Robert Lohr (piano), Keith Robinson (drums), and his own children Charles Berry Jr. (guitar) and Ingrid Berry (harmonica). CHUCK has the power to harken back to the birth of the rock & roll genre and its decades-long evolution while still sounding remarkably fresh. With this album as a capstone to his incredible career, the legend further cements his place in the history books. |
