Our Take

Chuck Berry may be best known for his rock and roll hits, but on "On The Blues Side," he dives headfirst into the world of blues, showing off a different side to his musical talents. From the moment you press play, you can feel Berry's passion for the blues seeping through your speakers.

The album kicks off with the gritty and soulful track "Thirty Days," setting the tone for what's to come. Berry's signature guitar licks are as sharp as ever, and his vocals have a raw and powerful edge that will send shivers down your spine.

Tracks like "Driftin' Blues" and "Wee Wee Hours" showcase Berry's ability to dig deep into the emotional core of the blues, with lyrics that hit you right in the gut. His storytelling prowess is on full display here, painting vivid pictures of heartbreak and longing with every word.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "On The Blues Side." Berry injects plenty of his trademark wit and charm into tracks like "C.C. Rider" and "Blues for Hawaiians," keeping things light-hearted and fun.

Overall, "On The Blues Side" is a testament to Chuck Berry's versatility as a musician. Whether he's rocking out on stage or slowing things down with a soulful blues number, Berry proves that he truly is a force to be reckoned with in the world of music. So grab a glass of whiskey, sit back, and let the bluesy vibes of Chuck Berry wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
