Reseña
El álbum Bio, de 1973, es uno de los trabajos más personales e introspectivos de la carrera de Chuck Berry. Como su título indica, el disco tiene un carácter autobiográfico, con letras que reflexionan sobre su propia vida, su carrera y sus experiencias. Por lo tanto, se aleja de las narrativas sobre adolescentes para adentrarse en un territorio más maduro y, a veces, amargo.
De hecho, la canción que da título al disco es una pieza hablada sobre un ritmo de blues en la que Chuck Berry cuenta su propia historia con una honestidad descarnada. Además, el álbum también incluye temas instrumentales donde demuestra su maestría como guitarrista y pianista de blues.
Sin embargo, el disco también presenta rock and roll enérgico, como en "Rain Eyes". Como resultado, 'Bio' es un álbum ecléctico y desigual, que no fue muy bien recibido en su momento. A pesar de ello, con el tiempo ha sido revalorizado como una obra valiente y reveladora. En definitiva, es una rara oportunidad de asomarse al mundo interior de una leyenda a menudo reservada.

[X]letra de Aimlessly Drifting
I guess I'll go to California
Seems like I'm always on the run
Nobody ever needs a loser
We just exist under the sun
But someday, somehow, someone may need me
When my drifting days are done
Well, I'm aimlessly drifting
Looks like I live from day to day
Hard as I try to make a showing
Something is always in my way
Even the one I truly love now
Deals in the games that people play
Every time I love I always lose
Seems like I'll never ever win
Each I hear them lonesome blues
I'm all alone at home again
Seems like I'm just existing
Aimlessly drifting to no end
All that I ask of this old world
Is just to have a happy home
All that I ask of one little girl
Is just to be my very own
It seems just like I'm just existing
Aimlessly drifting along
Yes, I'll go to California
Seems like I'm always on the run
Nobody ever needs a loser
I just exist under the sun
But someday, somehow, someone may need me
But my drifting days be done - BioVer letra 4:26
[X]letra de Bio
(Spoken:) Lord have mercy, got to tell it, tell it just like it is, evæ?®y word.
Yeah! I was living in St. Louis
In the year of nineteen fifty five
Mama didnæ?° have no great mansion,
Just a little old country dive.
Papa worked all week long,
Tryæ?§?to keep us six kids alive.
So I hitch hiked to Chicago
Just to hear Muddy Waters play
I sat and listened to him sing
Until the early hours of day
I asked him what I could do to make it
And it was he who showed me the way
I went back home and wrote a song
And made a record I could claim
The little tune jumped on the charts
And rode me right on up to fame
It netted over ten thousand dollars
And added glory to my name
I was standing at the airport
With my guitar in my hand
And a first class ticket
Destination movie land
I will be in Hollywood, Mama
Before the roosters crow again
When I first started playing music
Over sixteen years ago
Every big town in the country
From St. Francisco to Baltimore
Trying to bring some happy hours
Doing the only thing I know
Canæ?° help it, but I love it
Stand here, sing to you
Brings back so many memories
Many things we used to do
Æ?£ill I see you here again
Take care, good luck to you
- Got It and GoneVer letra 4:20
[X]letra de Got It and Gone
When he was a child, just a baby boy
He wanted to play rock music and sing some songs of joy
When he started school, he just could pat his feet
The first song he ever learned had a strong boogie beat
Come on now
Rock it, rock it, rock it along
Roll it, roll it, roll it on
Git it, git it, git it on
Got it, got it, got it and gone
Then one day it happened, they hauled him off to war
Way over there in no man's land, just him and his guitar
Nobody near to love him, nobody ever sent him news
What could a poor boy do at night, but to sit down and sing them blues
Early one morning they called him, oh, what a beautiful day
They packed him in an old army plane and flew him back home to stay
He landed in Clark Air base, but didn't have no place to go
So he sit down with his guitar in the middle of the street and gave everybody a free show.
- Hello Little Girl, Goodbye 3:57
- Rain EyesVer letra 3:48
[X]letra de Rain Eyes
Rain eyes that blur the rays of sunshine
When all you see is seen through tears
The whole world seems as though it's crying
Rain eyes, that's how my world appears
One sunny day in Lou'siana
The clouds began to hover low
And darkness came in early evening
And brought a rain that would not go
I's just a child when mother told me
It seems your father's gone away
It's not his fault, my child, forgive him
I should have known he would not stay
You're so much like him and he loves you
But now his love's for only you
Although he forced himself to leave you
Forgiving me he could not do
Rain eyes that cloud the hope of sunshine
When everything is seen through tears
The whole world seems as though it's crying
Rain eyes, that's how my world appears
It rains all evening into nighttime
Then rains all night and through the day
My mother's eyes are weak from crying
Forgive her, she just lost her way
Since you've been gone her eyes have clouded
And darkness reigns her weary view
She'd see again from your returning
That God knows she's in love with you
One rainy day in Louisiana
The trade winds blew the clouds away
A mother heard her boy shout, "Father"
My God, 'tis him, he's come to stay
