Chuck Berry turns 90, announces new album
Classic rocker Chuck Berry, who yesterday turned 90, has no plans to hang up his 'axe' just yet, announcing his first new album in 38 years.
The new album, Chuck, is dedicated to his wife of 68 years, Themetta Berry, and will be released next year. It will contain mostly new original material recorded in studios all around his hometown St Louis.
Often hailed as one of the pioneers of American rock'n'roll, Berry says the new album will span hard-driving rock songs to soulful, thought-provoking tunes. Two of his children, Charles Jr and Ingrid also play on the album.

This album ain't no throwaway either. According to Paul Roper of Dualtone Records: "This body of work stands with the best of his career and will further cement Chuck as one of the greatest icons of rock and roll."
