Álbum Concerto in B Goode de Chuck Berry - Canciones
Concerto in B Goode
Reseña
El álbum Concerto in B Goode, de 1969, es una de las obras más ambiciosas y conceptuales de la carrera de Chuck Berry. De hecho, el disco está dominado por la pieza que le da título, un "concierto" de rock de casi veinte minutos que ocupa toda una cara del vinilo. Por lo tanto, Chuck Berry se adentra en el terreno del rock progresivo y la jam session, un formato muy popular a finales de los 60.
En esta larga suite, el artista utiliza su clásico "Johnny B. Goode" como punto de partida para una extensa improvisación de guitarra y blues. Como resultado, la pieza es un escaparate de su virtuosismo como guitarrista, aunque a veces puede resultar algo repetitiva. Por otro lado, la segunda cara del álbum contiene canciones más cortas y convencionales.
En consecuencia, 'Concerto in B Goode' es un álbum desigual pero fascinante. Demuestra el deseo de Chuck Berry de ser visto como un artista serio y no solo como un creador de éxitos de tres minutos. En definitiva, es un experimento audaz que lo conecta con las corrientes más expansivas del rock de su época.

[X]letra de Good Looking Woman
Well, you're a good looking woman
Any man would go for you
You got everything you need, darling
Yeah, you know how to use it too
If you let me be your love one
I'll do anything you wish me to do
I'd be true to you, baby
And I would not mess around
You make me so happy, darling
Take you anyplace in town
Yes, I belong to you alone
Until you put me down
I'm gonna try for your love, baby
In ev'ry way I know how
I'm gonna tweet, tweet, tweet
Gobble, gobble or meow, meow
I'll even quack, quack, quack or moo, moo
Or bow, wow, wow, wow
Yeah, I'm hung up on you, baby
You're a fox and I ain't lying
Ooh, the things I'll do for you
Let me love you, I'll blow your mind
Till that satisfaction comes
I'll be stone lie steady trying
- My WomanVer letra 4:50
[X]letra de My Woman
Last night as I lay me down in bed
Over and over I heard the last words my woman said
Take me with you, I'm so lonesome
But I choose to leave instead
Yesterday, she came to me and held my hand
Said she was blue and oh so lonesome
And would I try to understand
I didn't know till this morning
How much my woman means to me
This morning when I got home, she was not there
I noticed her clothes were gone
And a little note lay on my shelf
Said as you read this, I love you still
But I'll be gone, I don't know where
Today I got the blues and I got 'em bad
Last night as I lay sleeping
My conscious will not go to rest
Yesterday I lost the best woman I ever had
One of these days, can't say where and I don't know when
It may be in time, it may be soon
It may be in a place I've never been
But I'm gonna find that fine woman
And together with her again
