Thoughts

Excellent tunes on here, Chuck Berry doing what he does and doing it well. Obviously I listened to this album for the joy that is Johnny B. Goode but there are quite a few other classics on here. The downside to these 50s rock and roll albums is that the songs tend to sound very similar to each other, particularly those guitar riff intros. But the upside is that they tell good stories like country music songs do. Love it.

Rating: 5 / 5
