Our Take

CHUCK BERRY’s “Berry Is On Top” is a bona fide classic that’s as timeless as a pair of drainpipe trousers and a greased-up quiff. Released in 1959, this album is a veritable time capsule of rock ‘n’ roll swagger and teenage rebellion.

From the opening jangle of “Almost Grown” to the rollicking climax of “Johnny B. Goode,” Berry’s guitar licks are as sharp as a Mod’s tailor-made suit. His lyrics are a cheeky mix of teenage angst and romantic yearning, delivered with his trademark swagger and wink.

Tracks like “Sweet Little Sixteen” and “Carol” are a masterclass in songwriting, with catchy hooks that will have you twisting and shouting in no time. Berry’s cover of “Route 66” is a joyous romp down the Mother Road, with his guitar solos burning rubber as he speeds through every twist and turn.

And let’s not forget the piano-pounding prowess of Johnnie Johnson, whose ivories add an extra layer of boogie-woogie to Berry’s already infectious tunes.

In short, “Berry Is On Top” is a must-have for any fan of rock ‘n’ roll history. Chuck Berry may no longer be with us, but his music lives on in every chord and every lyric of this timeless album. So grab your blue suede shoes and get ready to rock ‘n’ roll all night long. This one is a certified banger, baby!
