What are they? Is it 18 minutes of three-chord stuff and the 50s progression? Does the tempo change? Are there vocals?

How many guitar solos are there? Does Berry play all of them? I hope you see what I'm getting at, and hopefully someone can address a few of these questions. It's not easy because, I think, few people listen to Berry this days. Concerto in B Goode.

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, If Chuck Berry hadn't found that magic formula that married rhythm-and-blues to country pickin' and become one of the most signature voices in rock 'n roll, it's entirely possible he would've been another in a series of great but not distinctive bluesmen from the Forties and Fifties.

Berry the Bluesman is who's showcased on the first 4 songs on this album, and what he is in that role is a singer and guitarist very much in the mold of the great T-Bone Walker "Stormy Monday Blues" , whose guitar and singing stylings were as distinctly his own in the Forties as Berry's were in the Fifties.

None of these tunes are bad, but he's "T-Bone Lite" on them, and nowhere near as exciting as when he rocks out.
