While I'm at it, I propose the third block as I had rewritten it; unfortunately, I didn't have time to send it. There is no doubt that the dimension where he felt most at ease was Rock 'n' Roll, but he also dedicated himself passionately, and with great results, to Blues and Rhythm and Blues. The collection “Blues” (Original Recording Remastered) revisits many standards of the genre, highlighting his crystal-clear and imaginative technique. "House of Blue Lights" is also known in the equally dynamic versions by Canned Heat and Jerry Lee Lewis, while "Route 66," one of the most famous classics of American popular music, has been reinterpreted by countless musicians; in my opinion, the best renditions are by Nat King Cole and by Berry himself. “Down the Road a Piece,” "Confessin' the Blues," and "St. Louis Blues" are played with the distinctive accent of a Rock 'n' Roller. The entire collection is marked by this aspect, as the man from Saint Louis, Missouri, breaks down the rules of classic blues, reinterpreting many compositions in the way that feels most familiar to him. I would also mention the pieces that are most exquisitely blues on the record: "Things I Used to Do," "Wee Wee Hours," and the beautiful instrumental "Deep Feeling." “Blues” is an album that will not disappoint those who love this intense and passionate artist, whose name is etched in the history of music.

First of all, thank you for the appreciation. I’d like to clarify a few points, because I wrote the third block in a hurry after having sent the review of the collection The Chess Box. I didn't remember it had already been written, and at first, I couldn't find it on the search engine. I realized it later, so to avoid duplication, I opted for the beautiful collection "Blues (Original Recording Remastered)." I also have the version of "House of Blue Lights" written by the great Don Raye, performed by Freddie Slack & Ella Mae Morse from 1946, as well as the very nice and equally dynamic versions by Canned Heat and Jerry Lee Lewis. It’s hard to say which one is the best, because they are very different... "Worried Life Blues" is played by the author Big Maceo, in a classic piano style typical of the early 40s; Maceo was part of the group of Bluesmen that drew inspiration from Son House and especially Robert Johnson. Berry reinterprets it with more liveliness without excessively altering it. "Driftin' Blues" has also been done by B.B. King & Bobby Bland, but my favorite version is played by Eric Clapton. Of the famous "St. Louis Blues," there’s a decent instrumental version by John Fahey, and a very good jazz-style rendition by Jimmy Witherspoon; Berry plays it with his distinctive Rock 'n' Roll accent. The same goes for "Confessin' the Blues" by Shann/Brown, which was also covered by the Stones and Little Walter. "Route 66," written by Bobby Troup, is one of the most famous classics in American popular music, and has had many renditions, from the Stones to the Klansmen to Depeche Mode... my favorites are those by Nat King Cole and Berry. "Things I Used to Do" is good in both the composer Guitar Slim’s adaptation and in the versions of Chuck Berry and Stevie Ray Vaughan, who (of course) performs it with the guitar prominently featured.

I have the first... great record! Good review.

Unintentionally, I wrote a duplicate; I didn't remember that you had already written it. I sent it half an hour ago, maybe I'm still in time to switch tracks. I see that I have already expressed my opinion.

I listened to them a long time ago, too long to give a judgment. The review is excellent, with great fluidity of writing.

It's certainly not for everyone's taste, but in my opinion, both Kollaps and even more so in Halber Mensch, there's quality. Good review.

@bjorky "Amarillo Higway" you should already have it on one of the CDs I sent you, the one with the country music, you recognize it because the lyrics often say: Amarillo Higway.

Thank you, Fidia. The first exchange of ideas on the site I had with you. So many people are watching things that have little to do with music or cinema. I’ve never understood why, but you’re right, Melissa has almost become a matter of state. I have a clear conscience because, with one name or another, I have always understood DeBaser for what it is meant to be: a site to exchange information, to understand which records might be interesting. For a couple of weeks now, I’ve been saying that I will be away for several days; I believe that soon I will really go. But Melissa will go to the attic when I decide it.

But the cats know it too. With this comment, you once again demonstrate that you’re a fool, because you offend some people just because you think women give higher ratings. What difference does it make to post as S4Doll or Melissa? None, they’re all imaginary names... or did you get it? Why don’t you say your real name and address too? Many already know mine because I've already given it. Now please don’t bother me anymore, did I make myself clear? I won’t respond to you again unless you make your full name public, along with your address. If you do, I’ll tell you mine, so you can come visit me and spend a wonderful night of love with Melissa.

Come on, let’s not fight. I agree that it’s a masterpiece in its genre, but I meant in rock music, since this word has existed. You didn’t say anything about the review; this time I took a bit more time, even though it’s not long.
