DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Hail!  Hail!  Rock ’N Roll!!   And none better than the late Chuck Berry as a rock legend — a superstar of Rock ‘N Roll — who will be getting celebratory DVD release that will have fans joining in and singing along to their favorite Chuck Berry classics.

Word arrived this past week from Liberation Hall, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, that Friday, Sept. 11, will be the street date for a DVD presentation of the Ron Weisner Entertainment production of Chuck Berry: Brown Eyed Handsome Man.

This magnificent collection of his songs as performed by Chuck Berry and other legends of rock music.    16 classic performances are included here.    

We have Chuck Berry solo for “Maybellene,” “Wee Wee Hours,” “You Can’t Catch Me” and “Nadine.”   Keith Richard joins him for “Carol” … “Carol” is reprised by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.    

Linda Ronstadt joins Chuck Berry for “Back in the USA … and Bruce Springsteen teams up with Chuck Berry for “Johnny B. Goode.”

Not done yet … The Rolling Stones do “Around and Around,” The Beatles rock the house with “Roll Over Beethoven” (as do Jeff Lynne and the Electric Light Orchestra), Jimi Hendrix kicks it with “Johnny B. Goode,” Paul McCartney goes solo with “Brown Eyed Handsome Man” … and the Billy Kingsley & Rockin’ Horse team up with Chuck Berry for renditions of “Sweet Little Sixteen,” “Let it Rock” and “Memphis.”

In a word, WOW!!

Plus, as a bonus, there is a thought-to-be-lost 26-minute vintage interview with Chuck Berry that was broadcast on German television included here.

Own Chuck Berry: Brown Eyed Handsome Man on Sept. 11 on DVD from Liberation Hall.
