{"title":"Chuck Berry","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll, Chuck Berry comes the closest of any single figure to being the one who put all the essential pieces together. It was his particular genius to graft country \u0026amp; western guitar licks onto a rhythm \u0026amp; blues chassis in his very first single, \"Maybellene.\" Combined with quick-witted, rapid-fire lyrics full of sly insinuations about cars and girls, Berry laid the groundwork for not only a rock and roll sound but a rock and roll stance. The song included a brief but scorching guitar solo built around his trademark double-string licks. Accompanied by long-time piano player Johnnie Johnson and members of the Chess Records house band, including Willie Dixon, Berry wrote and performed rock and roll for the ages. To this day, the cream of Berry's repertoire—which includes \"Johnny B. Goode,\" \"Sweet Little Sixteen,\" \"Rock and Roll Music\" and \"Roll Over Beethoven\"—is required listening for any serious rock fan and required learning for any serious rock musician.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"back-in-the-u-s-a","title":"Back in the U.S.A. \/ Rock \u0026 Roll Music","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on Chess 1729.
