Editorial Review:

Muddy Waters was his mentor, Willie Dixon his session bassist. Reversing Elvis Presley (a country kid who aspired to sing the blues), Chuck Berry was a blues musicians aspiring to play country. There have been Presley blues compilations, so it's only fitting that this co-founder of rock & roll should finally get his own. Ironically, Blues kicks off with a total rocker, "House of Blue Lights," which the Flamin' Groovies used as the blueprint for their classic cover, just as the Rolling Stones used this version of "Down the Road Apiece" as the mold for their own. "Route 66," however, is pure Nat King Cole, another Berry hero. Also imcluded are covers of Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love To You," Charles Brown's "Driftin' Blues," and several relatively obscure Berry originals, including "Wee Wee Hours," the B-side to his first single. Climaxed by a tribute to his beloved hometown via W.C. Handy's classic "St. Louis Blues," Blues stands out as one of the most unique Berry compilations, offering a glimpse of the artist's musical roots. --Bill Holdship

We all know the hits; this one shows another side of Chuck. He has the familiar voice and guitar, just different style songs. Any blues fan will like this one, any Check Berry fan will loke it too. Check out his live album, backed by the Steve Miller Band, it has a close feel to this one.

Blues by Chuck Berry investigates the seminal rock and roller's blues roots. Actually, Berry's real roots were in country and western music, but his first contacts with other musicians were blues musicians like Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon, so he adapted his sound to mirror his comrades, and the results are very good.
Songs like "Wee Wee Hours," "I Just Want To Make Love To You," "Driftin' Blues," and "Sweet Sixteen," show the great guitarist as a versatile performer who could cross ... Read More

I grew up in the 6o's lovin Chuck Berry music & I still listen to him a lot, but this cd caught me by surprise. This is one of the best blues cd's I've listen to in a while. Chuck did a great job on recordin this 1. Back then, you only heard a portion of the great music, now days they put everything out on cd's, unbeliveable of the music we missed out on. Hey, ya can't go wrong on this cd, it's awesome.

all and all this was a pretty good album, but not a great one. I liked this album because he does some good covers of old blues classics and I am a HUGE blues fan and a HUGE Chuck Berry fan. I don't give it a 5 star rating because i do think Chuck is better as a rock and roller than as a blues musician, but all and all a good album i enjoy listening to it and am glad i got it.

Not a single one of Chuck Berry's greatest hits can be found here. Instead, we're treated to mostly cover versions that Chuck used to fill out his original LP releases in the 1950s. All of the material is worth hearing because Chuck Berry plays them like Chuck Berry Songs. If you love Berry's riffing and chugging rhythm, you're going to love this CD. It provides a welcome compliment to the more widely available Greatest Hits packages readily available elsewhere. Given that none of these tracks are ... Read More
