Since completing 1969’s ‘Rock’n Roll Music’, Chuck Berry fulfilled their contract with Savoy Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Chuck Berry had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Bun B. Hear has compared writing for Chuck Berry’s new album to that on ‘Live In Toronto’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This album is a scorcher!
It’s a great pleasure to listen to Nadine from the beginning to the end. School Day is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. In The Wee Wee Hour (Think Of You) is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Johnny B Goode-Carol-Promised Land, which shows, blatantly, how much Chuck Berry has evolved as a singer. It’s such an underrated song. Within the first few notes of Sweet Little Sixteen it’s perfectly clear that Chuck Berry is living this song. Strong, powerful vocals of Chuck Berry in Reelin’ and Rockin’ are very impressive. Memphis is another favourite of mine. Too Much Monkey Business is the more seemingly obscure song on Live In Toronto that bear up best to repeated listening. My Ding A Ling still maintains something of a specific flourish. Maybelline is one of these floating songs.
