Rockit  by Chuck Berry

At 53 years old, Chuck Berry released his nineteenth studio album in 1979. Rockit would become the penultimate studio album the artist would record in his career, an album overflowing with humor and self-mockery. As strange as it may sound, Chuck Berry continued even in the late 1970s to create and unleash rock 'n' roll dynamites. Rockit is one of the best albums Chuck Berry gave us in his long and tumultuous career.

All the compositions on the record belong to Berry, as does the production of Rockit, who takes full advantage of the evolution of technology to create an incredibly clean sound for his last album. The album cover caused particular sensation, depicting the artist's Gibson guitar as a spaceship likely approaching Earth. We are in the era of the movie "Star Wars" and in the USA everything revolves around that particular movie.

Like most of Chuck Berry's albums, Rockit went unnoticed and did not achieve any commercial success as he was an artist of singles. Despite this, Rockit should have been among the best albums of its year (!)
