One Dozen Berrys

When Chuck Berry declares, “They’re really rockin’ in Boston!” at the outset of his second studio album, we know we're in for a raucous good time. These 12 tracks celebrate the new sound—"Rock and Roll Music" still sums up the style perfectly—while giving Berry's new young fans a peek at its building blocks. Twangy rocker "Sweet Little Sixteen" rubs elbows with bluesy, lo-fi ballads and even a hillbilly rag. All of them are dotted with high-energy guitar, jittery piano, and jumpin’ rhythms.
