Decca Records will release 'CHUCK' on June 16, the last major label album and first new recordings in nearly four decades from the founder of rock and roll, the legendary Chuck Berry, who passed away last week at the age of 90.'CHUCK' features ten new recordings, eight of which were composed by Berry. It is his first album since 1979's 'Rock It.' The new material was recorded and produced by Berry at various studios around St. Louis with his longtime hometown backing band - which includes his children Charles Berry Jr. (guitar) and Ingrid Berry (harmonica, vocals), plus Jimmy Marsala (Berry's bass guitar player for 40 years), Robert Lohr (piano) and Keith Robinson (drums). The latter accompanied him for nearly two decades on more than two hundred residencies at the famous Blueberry Hill Club. The album also features guest appearances by Gary Clark Jr, Tom Morello, Nathaniel Rateliff and Chuck's grandson Charles Berry III. Celebrated writer and historian Douglas Brinkley contributed a foreword, with both Morello and Rateliff appearing on the track 'Big Boys,' which Brinkley called "the national anthem of guitarists" in his liner notes. The track is streaming now - listen to it at: https://lnk.to/7smHtPR "The work of preparing for the release of this record over the past few months and, indeed, over the past few years has filled him with a sense of joy and satisfaction," Berry's family said in a statement posted to Facebook earlier this week. "While our hearts have grown heavy in these moments, we know he would want nothing more than to see this album released for the world to see. We can think of no better way to celebrate and commemorate ninety years of his life than through his music. "Some of the songs on 'CHUCK' were given shape in the 1980s, when Berry spent years churning them out in his home studio in St. Louis in between concert tours. He dedicated 2014 to the preparation of the album. When failing health forced him to stop touring and recording in 2015, Berry continued to oversee the production and preparation of 'CHUCK,' commissioning his family and close friend Joe Edwards, owner of Blueberry Hill, to fulfill his wish to complete and release the album.From the album's peak, 'Lady B. Goode,' a spiritual sequel to the iconic 'Johnny B. Goode,' featuring breathtaking solos by three generations of Berry guitarists, to the poignant country ballad 'Darlin',' a duet with his daughter Ingrid - 'CHUCK' is truly a family affair. "Working on my dad's record was one of the best experiences of my life," said Charles Berry Jr. "I will always cherish our conversations about music and the time we spent together finishing it. "Chuck Berry's death on March 18 prompted an avalanche of condolences and expressions of participation from fans, fellow musicians and world politicians - from members of The Rolling Stones and The Beatles to former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. The Times wrote: "Berry created a sequence of riffs that remain the basic building blocks of rock guitar playing. He combined them with clever, cheeky, sly and playful lyrics that painted poignant vignettes of -teen life. The result was a series of perfect three-minute pop masterpieces." The Daily Telegraph wrote: "Chuck Berry was one of the undisputed and eternal greats of rock and roll, a founding father of music that shook and shaped the world. His influence on Elvis, the Beatles and the Stones (as well as all the stars of rock and roll heaven, from Buddy Holly to Bruce Springsteen) is enough to ensure musical immortality. "Rolling Stone claims that Berry "defined rock & roll during its birth and for many decades to come." The New York Times called Berry rock's "chief theorist and conceptual genius, a songwriter who understood what youth wanted before youth understood itself," adding that even sixty years later, his early recordings still sound "carefree and bold.
