Before rock and roll had a rulebook, Chuck Berry was busy writing it, and After School Session, his 1957 debut LP, returns as part of the Chess Acoustic Sounds Series on 180-gram vinyl.
By the time Chess gathered these sides into an album, Berry was already a fixture on the radio, turning everyday teenage life into something worth singing about. He sounds like a man who knew exactly who was listening, sketching classroom clocks, car-lot hustles and late-night longing with a poet's eye and a jukebox sense of timing.
"School Day (Ring Ring Goes the Bell)" opens with its famous call-and-response guitar, and "Too Much Monkey Business" fires off a list of daily frustrations at breakneck speed. "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" slips sly social commentary into a breezy shuffle, while "Havana Moon" drifts somewhere warmer with a calypso-tinged tale of waiting by the water.
The arrangements are lean and close, with piano rolling beneath the guitar, bass walking steadily and drums snapping on the backbeat. Nothing is wasted, and the songs get in and out before you can catch your breath.
As the opening chapter of one of rock's founding catalogues, it remains essential listening, and this series pressing treats it with the respect it has always deserved.
