Álbum Back Home de Chuck Berry - Canciones
Back Home
Reseña
La discografía de Chuck Berry presenta con este álbum de 1970 su regreso definitivo al sello Chess Records. Por lo tanto, 'Back Home' ("De vuelta en casa") es un título muy apropiado, ya que el disco busca recapturar la magia y el sonido de sus grabaciones clásicas de los años 50. De hecho, Chuck Berry se reúne con los músicos y el equipo de producción que lo acompañaron en su época dorada.
En consecuencia, el álbum es un retorno al rock and roll y al rhythm and blues más directos, abandonando los experimentos psicodélicos de sus trabajos más recientes. El sonido es crudo, enérgico y con ese "swing" inconfundible de las grabaciones de Chess. Además, las composiciones son de una calidad notable.
Por ejemplo, la canción "Tulane" es un excelente ejemplo de su narrativa ingeniosa, una historia sobre dos hippies que se meten en problemas con la ley. Como resultado, 'Back Home' fue aclamado como un gran regreso a la forma. En definitiva, es el sonido de un maestro que vuelve a sus raíces y demuestra que su fórmula sigue siendo tan potente como siempre.

[X]letra de Tulane
Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop,
Back under the counter, was the cream of the crop,
Ev’rything was clickin, and the business was good,
‘Till one day, lo and behold an officer stood.
Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell,
But Tulane made it over Johnny fell as he yelled,
Chorus:
Go head on, Tulane, he can’t catch up with you.
Go Tulane, he ain’t man enough for you.
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got.
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot.
Go Tulane, he’s laggin behind.
Go ‘head on, Tulane.
Go by your father’s house and tell him business is slow
And see if he will loan us something, soon as he hits the dough.
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
Go by Doctor Keller’s, tell him you swallowed some perfume
Tell him we need him quick, ’cuz he may have to testify
That you been sick all day and that’s a perfect alibi
Chorus:
Go,let Daddy drive in case you run into the Man
Back by the shop and get the stuff and hide it in the van.
Go back by your father’s, get the money for the bail.
And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail.
We gotta get a lawyer in the clique of politics
Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fixed.
Chorus:
Go ‘head on, Tulane. - Have Mercy JudgeVer letra 2:40
[X]letra de Have Mercy Judge
Have mercy, I'm in a world of trouble now
I'm being held by the State Patrol
I am charged with traffic of the forbidden
And I almost finished doing my parole
Now, I'm on my way back down town
Somebody help me, have mercy on my soul
I go to court tomorrow morning
And I got the same judge I had before
Lord, I know he won't have no mercy on me
'Cause he told me not to come back no more
He'll send me away to some stoney mansion
In a lonely room and lock the door
Ow! Have mercy on my little Tulane
She's too alive to try to live alone
And I know her needs
And although she loves me
She's gonna try to make it
While the poor boy's gone
Somebody should tell her to live
And I'll understand it
And even love her more
When I come back home

[X]letra de Some People
Some people live each week in fun and play
From sweat by you and by me
While we must toil so long each day
Just to stay alive and free
Some people live in homes, so content and reposed
Unrushed through all the woe
While we share that woe
With those who have no woe at all
Some people live with much and care the least
If war should end or stay
While we, with less, pay more for peace
Uum, why should it be this way ?
Oh, the day's sure to come
When we would have to live
In love and peace and happiness
And we will have the will to love
And to give to those who do have less
