CHUCK BERRY - Live From Blueberry Hill Album To Be Released In December

To celebrate Chuck Berry’s 95th birthday, the posthumous album Live From Blueberry Hill will be released  on December 17th via Dualtone Records. It is compiled from performances recorded between 2005 and 2006, and will feature Berry classics including "Roll Over Beethoven", "Johnny B. Goode" and "Sweet Little Sixteen".

Described as "an indelible document of the rock ‘n’ roll icon’s legendary hometown shows," the album captures the gigs that were originally organized after Berry voiced, in his later career, his desire to return "to play a place the size of the ones I played when I first started out."

Tracklist:

"Roll Over Beethoven"
"Rock And Roll Music"
"Let It Rock"
"Carol / Little Queenie"
"Sweet Little Sixteen"
"Around And Around"
"Nadine"
"Bio"
"Mean Old World"
"Johnny B. Goode"

Live From Blueberry Hill is available for pre-order on vinyl LP here.

Chuck Berry: The Original King Of Rock ‘N’ Roll is the first-ever feature length documentary devoted to the life of singer/songwriter/guitarist widely considered the “Granddaddy of Rock and Roll” (1927 – 2017), known for hits like “Maybelline,” “Rock And Roll Music,” “Johnny B. Goode” and many others. Award-winning filmmaker Jon Brewer (Bb King: The Life Of Riley; Nat King Cole: Afraid Of The Dark) melds archival performance footage and ruminations on Berry’s influence from other music greats (Keith Richards, Nils Lofgren, Steve Van Zandt, Joe Perry, and Alice Cooper among them) with an exploration of the legendary guitarist’s personal life (including the first-ever interview with Themetta “Toddy” Suggs, his wife of 68 years) and experience as a Black artist traversing the American racial landscape of the 1950s onward.

Despite his iconic status, and reverence for his talent by rock’s heroes John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards, Steve Van Zandt, Joe Perry, Alice Cooper, all featured, Chuck Berry was at heart, a family man. He was a prolific craftsman of words and chords; an undisputed and stunning combination of talent and charisma.

Chuck Berry is now available on Amazon, Availtin, Cool Nerd Kiosk, Direct TV, Dish, Doc N Roll, Fandango, Google Play, inDemand, iTunes, Sling TV, Tubi, Vimeo, Vudu, Xbox and on DVD and will release on Blu-ray on November 27, 2020.
