The Ultimate Chuck Berry

'the ultimate chuck berry' is a collection of every noteworthy track in chronological order from this legendary one-man music machine. this set is peppered with a few lesser-known cuts such as the dark, churning 'downbound train' and the calypso-tinged 'havana moon', as well as some entries from berry's later period, such as the terrific 'tulane'. but once berry's classics start stacking up, there's not room for much else. rock archetypes such as 'johnny b. goode', 'sweet little sixteen', 'rock and roll music', and 'roll over beethoven' are merely the tip of the iceberg.
