It doesn't seem that long ago, but it's 40 years this year since Chuck's album Back Home was released.
It marked his return to the Chess label and, although not regarded as his best album, it does have some great rocking tracks - Tulane, I'm A Rocker, Flyin' Home and Some People particularly standing out.
In fact, all the tracks are good, and four decades on they still have that bit of Berry magic about them.
I've always felt Back Home didn't get the praise it deserved at the time of its release - so now would seem an appropriate time to reassess it.
Anyone got any thoughts on the subject?

Oh, I do! It's my favorite Chuck Berry "album" and the second I ever bought, after The Golden Decade. I think the version of Flyin' Home on Back Home is about as sweet as it gets, with magnificent piano (laffayette Leake!) and guitar. And I think "Have Mercy Judge" is Chuck Berry's best blues ever. And "Tulane?" She's just amazing! (But you're making me feel old!) Peter

PS-- you can now get "Back Home," shuffled, on "Have Mercy," a collection I strongly recommend. It's worth it just for the solo blues "Annie Lou."

That's just wild man! Forty years ago that fast.
