Chuck Berry achieved his third UK album top twenty hit during 1963 with More Chuck Berry. It complements the album Chuck Berry released earlier in the year and includes many of his older hits. Its chart success reflected the revival of interest in this artist who played a pivotal role in the development of rock & roll. (UK:8)
"The whole thing adds up to a really fun listen, even if all the tracks are now easier to track down elsewhere."
"Chuck Berry’s vast contribution to the music world is reflected in the plaudits he has won from many of the most well known artists who followed him."
"It is only a slight over simplification to state that most rock since Berry has been a variant of his original adaptation of rhythm and blues."
"If you are a fan of good ol' rootsy, R & B influenced rock 'n' roll; you know in your soul that Chuck Berry is the savant."
"How can a guy come up with those riffs? Those simple, yet poetic lyrics?"
"Chuck Berry is one of the kings of rock & roll. His guitar playing, tone & overall presentation is timeless. You hear his songs world-wide and they still sound as fresh now as they did when they came out."
"He was deep into the blues, but he was able to bridge some musical styles together to create a lasting collection of work that has often been emulated, but never duplicated."
