About This Item
One Dozen BerrysInch by Chuck Berry, originally released in 1958. Except for five songs, all tracks had been previously released on 45 rpm singles. It includes the hit singles, InchSweet Little SixteenInch and InchRock & Roll Music.Inch The slow instrumental InchBlue FeelingInch is a look at the blues sound that Berry had that time, InchHow You've ChangedInch presents him in a slow ballad, singing in a manner closer to Nat InchKingInch Cole than to any rock & roller of the era; and InchLa JaundaInch shows off his love of Latin music. InchRocking at the PhilharmonicInch is a rippling guitar/piano workout, a compendium of the sounds that lay beneath those hit singles, and a killer showcase not only for Berry, but also for Lafayette Leake at the ivories, and a decent showcase for Willie Dixon's bass playing. InchOh Baby DollInch is a return to the beat of InchMaybellene,Inch this time carrying a lyric that's more sensual (in a bluesy sense) than rollicking fun, though it comes out that way amid the pounding beat and Berry's crunchy, angular guitar solo.
