Decca Records will release \u2018CHUCK,\u2019 the final album and first new recordings in nearly four decades by founding rock and roll legend Chuck Berry, who passed away in March at the age of 90, on 9th June.\r
\r
\r
Comprised of ten new recordings, eight of which were written by Berry, \u2018CHUCK\u2019 is his first new album since 1979\u2019s \u2018Rock It.\u2019 It was recorded and produced by Berry in various studios around St. Louis and features his longtime hometown backing group - including his children Charles Berry Jr. (guitar) and Ingrid Berry (harmonica, vocals), plus Jimmy Marsala (Berry\u2019s bassist for forty years), Robert Lohr (piano), and Keith Robinson (drums) - which supported him for nearly two decades on over two hundred residency shows at the famed Blueberry Hill club. The album also includes guest performances from Gary Clark Jr., Tom Morello, Nathaniel Rateliff and Chuck\u2019s grandson Charles Berry III. Acclaimed author and historian Douglas Brinkley contributes liner notes.\r
\r
Both Morello and Rateliff appear on album track \u2018Big Boys,\u2019 which Brinkley calls \u201ca guitar player\u2019s national anthem\u201d in his notes.\r
\r
Working to prepare the release of this record in recent months and in fact over the last several years brought him a great sense of joy and satisfaction,\u201d the Berry family said in a statement posted to Facebook, \u201cWhile our hearts are very heavy at this time, we know that he had no greater wish than to see this album released to the world, and we know of no better way to celebrate and remember his 90 years of life than through his music.\u201d\r
\r
Some of the songs on \u2018CHUCK\u2019 were originally conceived as far back as the 1980s, with Berry developing them in his home studio in St. Louis over many years during down time between tours. He worked on the album through 2014. When health concerns forced him to stop touring and recording in 2015, Berry continued to oversee production and planning for \u2018CHUCK,\u2019 enlisting his family and close friend Joe Edwards, the owner of Blueberry Hill, to fulfill his wishes that the album be completed and released. And from album highlight \u2018Lady B. Goode,\u2019 a spiritual sequel to the iconic \u2018Johnny B. Goode\u2019 featuring ripping solos from three generations of Berry guitarists, to the poignant country balladry of \u2018Darlin\u2019,\u2019 a duet with his daughter Ingrid, \u2018CHUCK\u2019 truly is a family affair.\r
