Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Chuck Berry presenta con este álbum de 1965 el último trabajo que grabó para el legendario sello Chess Records en su primera etapa. 'Fresh Berry's' marca el final de una de las asociaciones más importantes de la historia de la música. En este disco Chuck Berry ofrece una colección de canciones variada, que demuestra su increíble versatilidad como compositor.
Encontramos rock and roll enérgico y característico en temas como "It Wasn't Me". El álbum también incluye incursiones en el blues, el pop e incluso baladas con un toque sentimental. El disco muestra a un artista que, a pesar de haber definido un género, no tenía miedo de explorar otros territorios musicales.
El álbum no logró un gran impacto comercial, y poco después Chuck Berry dejaría Chess para firmar con Mercury Records. Como resultado, 'Fresh Berry's' es a menudo considerado un trabajo menor en su discografía. Pese a ello, es una escucha interesante que contiene la esencia de su talento y que sirve como un epílogo a su era más legendaria.

Letra
Hello, pretty baby How did your vacation go ? You know I long to be with you Because I really missed you so You must have many things to tell me But only one I yearn to know Shall we dance, pretty baby And does your love for me remain ? It's been a long hot summer With no one to entertain Ah, it's really boss to hold your hand, baby Dance and talk with you again Bye, bye for now But I shall call you on the phone I want to tell you how boss it was To have been your chaperone And if you choose me for your steady Darling, you'll never walk alone - It's My Own Business2:07

Letra
Way down south in Louisiana, up under the Delta heat, child There's an old boy plays an electric guitar right off Rampart Street Sometimes a Go-Go girl come in with him, she be shakin' out a Mojo beat That old boy sure pick some old mean guitar right off Rampart Street Stays crowded every time he's there, people come there from near and far I don't think nobody knows his name, they just know it's a Go-Go guitar They just know it's a Go-Go guitar Way down south in Louisiana, up under the Delta heat, child Go see that old boy play his guitar right off Rampart Street Right off Rampart Street - Vaya con Dios2:35

Letra
I got a nineteen sixty-six cherry red Mustang Ford. Itæ?¯ got a three hundred and eighty five horsepower over load You know itæ?¯ way too fast to be crawlin?on these interstate roads. I broke her in at the airport on a runway at the J.F.K. I just touched the gas pedal and like to ran off into Jamaica Bay I had to spin the wheels backwards or the momentum would have carried me away Itæ?¯ getting?to be a big problem trying to figure the best possible route I tried to stop in Indianapolis once, and had to back up from Terre Haute But now I can slow and stop her with my windbreaker parachute - Ain't That Just Like a Woman2:13
- Wee Hour Blues2:50
