Son of the blues, boogie woogie and rhythm & blues, rock and roll was first known under the name of 'jump blues', a more rhythmic and sped up sub-genre of blues, with the well-marked (and very danceable) snare beat. In 1955, 'Maybelline' Chuck Berry's first single is released, and with it, a new era begins. Admired by everybody from The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to Elton John, Eric Clapton and AC/DC, Chuck Berry's influence on the world of music has been massive.
In The Many Faces of Chuck Berry we will explore his explosive live performances and his blues roots; we will dig deep into his catalog of hits performed by other artists and we will review some of his fellow early-rockers that changed the music landscape more than 60 years ago.
With fantastic artwork, remastered sound and extensive liner notes, this an essential additional to your 20th century music collection.
