Back Home finds Chuck Berry returning to Chess Records in 1970 after a few years away, and this Chess Acoustic Sounds Series reissue brings it back on 180-gram vinyl.

Berry had spent the late sixties at Mercury, and coming back to the label that made him felt like a homecoming in more ways than one. The album leans into the blues and the bawdy humour that always sat just beneath his rock and roll, with a looser, more relaxed feel than his fifties sides.

"Tulane" is the standout, a quick-witted crime caper about a pair of shopkeepers with something to hide under the counter, and it has been covered by plenty of artists since. Its sequel, "Have Mercy Judge", picks up the story as a slow, pleading blues. "I'm a Rocker" is pure attitude, a reminder that he could still crank out a riff with the best of them.

Elsewhere the songs move between swaggering rock and loose studio blues, the band sounding at ease and Berry's guitar as sharp and conversational as ever, trading lines with the piano like old friends catching up.

Often overlooked next to his golden-era singles, it is a rewarding late-period chapter, and this series pressing gives it the spotlight it has long deserved.
