Gatefold LP With Lyric & Photo Book

Dualtone issued Chuck on vinyl in the US on June 9, 2017, as a single LP with the album's ten songs split five to a side. The record comes in a gatefold jacket with a lyric and photo book, and its catalog number, 80302-01793-18, is printed on the spine and back cover.

Chuck is Chuck Berry's twentieth and final studio album, and his first album of mostly new material since Rockit in 1979. He announced it on his 90th birthday, October 18, 2016. He died on March 18, 2017, after the recording was finished and before the album was released. The record is dedicated to his wife, Toddy.

Berry produced the album himself. Most of it was recorded in St. Louis, including at his own private studio, with additional sessions in Nashville. The core band is the group that backed him for more than 200 shows at the Blueberry Hill club: his son Charles Berry Jr. on guitar, his daughter Ingrid Berry on harmonica and vocals, Jimmy Marsala on bass, Robert Lohr on piano and Keith Robinson on drums. On "Big Boys," Tom Morello adds guitar and Nathaniel Rateliff sings background vocals. Gary Clark Jr. plays guitar on "Wonderful Woman," and Charles Berry III plays guitar on that song and on "Lady B. Goode."

Eight of the ten songs are Berry originals. "Lady B. Goode" is a sequel to his 1958 "Johnny B. Goode," and "Jamaica Moon" is a reworking of his 1956 "Havana Moon" with revised lyrics. The two covers are "You Go to My Head," by Haven Gillespie and J. Fred Coots, and Tony Joe White's "3/4 Time (Enchiladas)." "Big Boys" was released as the lead single on March 21, 2017, three days after Berry's death. It was his first single in 40 years. "Wonderful Woman" followed in April and "Lady B. Goode" in May.

Chuck entered the UK chart at No. 9, Berry's first UK Top 10 since 1977. Metacritic gives it an average score of 72 from 16 reviews, and Noel Murray of The A.V. Club called it "a casually profound closing statement."
