From the rockabilly flavoured Maybellene to the adrenalin rush of Dear Dad (both about automobiles!) this formidable collection spans ten years and over 20 Hot 100 hits. They're all here. School Day, Rock And Roll Music, Roll Over Beethoven, Sweet Little Sixteen, Johnny B. Goode, Nadine, No Particular Place To Go. This is a non-stop hymn to the USA; a crash course chronicle of high school hops, teen romance and rock 'n' roll cartography.
Hear the most imitated electric guitar licks of all time; driving riffs which separate Chuck Berry music from the jump blues of his predecessors. "Every guitarist I auditioned would have to play 'Johnny B. Goode'"
(Ronnie Hawkins).
