The release of 1964`s ST. LOUIS TO LIVERPOOL, recorded shortly after Chuck Berry`s release from prison, found the seminal rock & roller riding high on a resurgence of popularity thanks to the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and other British acts who had discovered and reinterpreted Berry`s music. The digitally remastered sound on this 2004 reissue is excellent, and the albu--which features Berry`s genre-defining guitar leads, sly vocals, exceptional songwriting, and the backing of guests such as Willie Dixon and Matt Murph--is one of his finest.
Though the record was released at the tail end of Berry`s streak of self-penned hits, the disc still throws out classics left and right. It`s hard to imagine the rock canon without "Little Marie," "No Particular Place to Go," and "You Never Can Tell." But even the non-hits here--"Brenda Lee" and the midtempo groove of "You Two," for example--shine, a rarity in the days of early-`60s, filler-filled LPs. Bonus tracks and exemplary Chess production make ST. LOUIS TO LIVERPOOL an essential rock & roll recording.
