Our Take

Ah, Chuck Berry, the rock and roll pioneer whose music has inspired generations of musicians. CHUCK BERRY's debut album "After School Session" is a delightful romp through the early days of the genre, showcasing Berry's signature guitar riffs and cheeky lyrics.

From the opening track "School Days" to the closing number "Too Much Monkey Business," Berry's energetic vocals and infectious melodies are sure to get your toes tapping. The album is a perfect snapshot of the 1950s, capturing the innocence and rebellion of youth.

One standout track is "Brown Eyed Handsome Man," a rollicking tune that showcases Berry's storytelling prowess. His lyrics are clever and witty, painting vivid pictures of characters and situations that resonate with listeners.

But it's not all fun and games on "After School Session." Berry also delves into more serious themes, such as love and heartbreak, on tracks like "Deep Feeling" and "Driftin' Blues." His emotional depth adds another layer of complexity to the album, showing that there's more to Berry than just catchy hooks.

Overall, "After School Session" is a timeless classic that cements Chuck Berry's place in music history. It's a must-listen for any fan of rock and roll, and a perfect introduction to the genius of one of the greatest musicians of all time. Highly recommended.
