“Rockin’ At The Hops” by Chuck Berry - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1960 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
Chuck’s golden period at Chess continues in fine style into 1960 with the latest 8 sides from 1959, together with first-time appearances for “Down the Road Apiece”, “Confessin’ the Blues”, “Betty Jean” and “Driftin’ Blues”. He seems quite happy to include quite a few covers at this time and it’s a cover which steals the show – Chuck’s version of Big Maceo’s “Worried Life Blues” is a stunning highlight…
