Chuck Berry Announces 'Chuck,' First New Album In 38 Years

When you helped invent rock n' roll you're pretty much allowed to take time as much time as you want cooking up new songs. Of course, nobody imagined rock godfather Chuck Berry would take a nearly 40-year powder. The "Johnny B. Goode" singer/guitarist, who turns 90 today (Oct. 18), is finally ready to break the spell with his first new studio album since 1979's Rock It. Chuck -- out via Dualtone Records in 2017 -- is made up primarily of new and original songs written, recorded and produced by Berry.
