B Rock Note: Chuck Berry's Final Album Released

Chuck Berry's final album, titled Chuck, was released on June 9. Berry taught himself how to use state-of-the-art sound editing software to produce the new set.

The album, which marks the first new music from Berry since 1979's Rock It, was recorded between 1991 and 2014 and includes a sequel to "Johnny B. Goode."

The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards - perhaps Berry's most ardent admirer - continues to inject Berry's style and energy into the band's work even through today:

Chuck Berry -- I always felt that I owed the man, y'know, an incredible debt for his music and for the fact of turning me on (laughs). And at the same time, I just thought Chuck was the epitome of what archetypal rock n' roll should be. Great songs. Incredible beat. Lyrics -- they always got a little joke, or two, in them. Nothing's too serious.

Chuck Berry died of natural causes on March 18th, 2017 at age 90.
