... Billy's twin passions were music and vegetable growing and his hero was that whippet-lean, guitar-toting Chuck Berry. And funnily, in summer, skin darkened after days out in his allotment, Billy looked rather like him with that thin, smiling face and those eyes that twinkled irresistibly. ... Read review

When I was tiny my hero was my grandfather, Billy, a diminutive Welshman with more than a spattering of black and Arabic blood. "I'm a product of Swansea port, fach," he used to tell me. Billy's twin passions were music and vegetable growing and his hero was that whippet-lean, guitar-toting Chuck Berry. And funnily, in summer, skin darkened after days out in his allotment, Billy looked rather like him with that thin, smiling face and those eyes that twinkled irresistibly. I sure did love Billy and I sure did love the parties that Billy attended because his love of life, of music, of dancing, of good friends and a good time always infected everyone. Billy's anthem was Johnny B. Goode and, in honour of him, that's the song I'd like to tell you about.

DeepdowninLouisianacrossfromNewOrleans
Waybackupinthewoodsamongtheevergreens

In the first few seconds of this song voice and guitar come together, imitating each other and introducing perhaps the best, and certainly the most famous, guitar riff in history. Chuck Berry couldn't have found a better or more exciting way to pull you into his story of Johnny B. Goode, a poor country [black] boy with his guitar, singing the blues and dreaming of a better future for himself. That guitar riff (modernised by Brian Wilson in the Beach Boys Fun Fun Fun) is like a series of machine gun bullets, forcing the song, the singer and his guitar deep inside you from the first moment you hear it. Chuck Berry wasn't a fool: of course he could have sung "black" and not "country" but by choosing the latter he made Johnny B. Goode a character who represented not only black people in a segregated America but also the poor white gospellers who had thrown up Elvis Presley as their icon. Johnny B. Goode was an anthem and told of a person who appealed to many. Yet despite the political landscape only too well-known to Berry, this song is a wake up call and a hymn to the power and joy not only of dreaming of a better world but to the notion of carpe diem, seize the day. Johnny B. Goode is a classic song for all these reasons: for the riff that provided the basis of work from such people as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, the Rolling Stones; for its comment on a time and place that for many people could have been better; for its refusal to submit and for its rallying cry to enjoy, to be free; but above all because it's an irresistible rock and roll song that includes you, pulls you to your feet and makes you want to dance.

So that's the story of Johnny B. Goode. For me, inside that story is also Billy's story. Music is one of the most emotive things there is and often its effect on a person is ineffable, unable to be described. Johnny B. Goode brings Billy back to me whenever I hear it and that's why I love it. Billy loved it because he loved passion in music and because the story was partly his own. Just as the Johnny Chuck Berry sang of was a poor country boy, so was Billy, just as Johnny suffered discrimination, so did Billy when he moved to London from Wales seeking work during the thirties. Like Chuck Berry too, Billy was never a man to be downcast though and his endless enthusiasm for life echoes the forceful, boundless optimism we hear in Johnny B. Goode. Billy was never a rich man, and he never owned an electric guitar much as he'd have loved one. I do, though, and one day I'm going to learn to play that Johnny B. Goode riff behind my head, just like Chuck Berry did. And when I do, I'll think of Billy.

Poor John Entwhistle. I hope he's making music somewhere right now, and I hope he's happy doing it. It'd be nice also to think that Billy's in the audience.

[The preceding opinion was written as my entry for the 29th_Candidate's "Dinosaur Rock-Off;" a tribute to the memory of rock legend, John Entwistle, recently departed bass player of The Who, and a true artist in every sense of the word. And I hope its theme found its way through to you.]

Review of Very Best Of Chuck Berry, The - Chuck Berry by  seagulls-lost-horizon

Advantages: Great Timeless Music
Disadvantages: none

...Well maybe I’m over doing it a little with the title, but for me Chuck Berry is, or at least his music is Rock ‘N Roll; that is, if you wanted to give someone an idea of what Rock ‘N Roll is about, then look no further than Chuck Berry and this album. I should add that this album is called The Best Of Chuck Berry, and that there are a lot of Chuck Berry compilations like this about, only with differing tracks, so don’t be surprised if the one you have, or might get is different. Now you may not have heard of Chuck Berry (I’d be surprised, though) but you will have heard his music, I mean, if your a fan of The Beatles, then you’ve heard Chuck’s music, if you like Buddy Holly or The Rolling Stones or The Manic Street Preachers, then you’ve heard Chuck’s music (lets face it, if you...

Review of Very Best Of Chuck Berry, The - Chuck Berry by  mikeydred

Advantages: Forty of the greatest Rock and Roll Songs Ever Written, and all orinals
Disadvantages: Lack of Sleeve Notes

...I don’t know if this is under the correct heading but there are so many Chuck Berry compilations that go under the title “The Best Of” or “The Very Best Of”. The monkey in my hand is called “The Best Of” and is a double CD that you can pick up for around 6.99 GBP, is on the MCA label, and has a catalogue number of MCD 11560. Right that’s all the boring bits out of the way. The packaging and booklet are minimal , with two pictures of the man himself, and a track listing and the fact that all of the forty tracks within were composed by the man himself bar four. Next I’ll give you a list of what the CD contains, to help you decide whether or not you wish to track it down. CD One: 1. Roll over Beethoven 2. Sweet Little Sixteen 3. Johnny B. Goode 4. You Never Can... Read review

Review of Very Best Of Chuck Berry, The - Chuck Berry by  lewiscrofts

Advantages: guitar
Disadvantages: one d

...One thing about chuck berry, although he is a great guitarist and one who has pushed back the boundaries of guitar playing (particularly with the double stop) he is a bit repetitive. He has struck upon a formula and he really milks it – but then again that is blues music!! Johnny b goode does of course stand head and shoulders above the rest but they are all very simialr. Songs like ‘no particular place to go’ do rescue us from boredom but then later we find that such a song is copied as well later on (school day). It is a shame because the album is good, but should not be listened to all the way thru.... Read review
