Title: Good Stuff Here!
Product review: Not a single one of Chuck Berry's greatest hits can be found here. Instead, we're treated to mostly cover versions that Chuck used to fill out his original LP releases in the 1950s. All of the material is worth hearing because Chuck Berry plays them like Chuck Berry Songs. If you love Berry's riffing and chugging rhythm, you're going to love this CD. It provides a welcome compliment to the more widely available Greatest Hits packages readily available elsewhere. Given that none of these tracks are going to get played on oldies radio any time soon, they possess a freshness that many of Chuck's better-known songs have sadly lost. As a bonus, there's a booklet with liner notes that (for a change) seem to be accurate.For what it's worth, my favorite track on this CD is "Worried Life Blues."
