Dave Berry: Dave Berry - One Dozen Berrys (CD)

(BGO Records) 28 tracks

This CD is a wonderful surprise from Beat Goes On.
The mix of country and pop sounds alongside serious R&B (including the killer "I Love You Babe" and the infectious "Baby, It's You") may seem off-putting, but this diversity is more a sign of the times in which these two albums were made than an indication of any weaknesses in execution - in truth, the diversity of sound here is reminiscent of the Beatles, even if Berry doesn't make the switch between genres as smoothly as the Liverpool quartet. Even the presence of ballads like "The Girl from the Fair Isle" isn't a detriment - Paul McCartney brought the same kind of material to the Beatles' albums via Meredith Willson songs - and followed by the searing blues rocker "Go On Home", it's not a bad showcase for Berry's range. Ultimately, "Go On Home" has to be considered one of the tracks that makes this CD worth every penny, and the ballad is an unexpected bonus. Even the next number, a rhythm guitar-driven slow ballad called "Everybody Tries," is a perfect little beat-era soft rocker like the Roulettes or many other serious bands had on their albums. John Firminger's notes stay very close to the two albums at hand and their production. The sound is excellent, and considering what the original vinyl versions of these two albums would cost today, the CD is a bargain.

"Dave Berry"

Dave Berry, an ardent admirer of Chuck Berry, was born David Grundy in Woodhouse, Sheffield, in 1941, changed his surname to that of his idol and formed the Cruisers, an R&B group, in 1961. Their first two records for Decca (Memphis, Tennessee' in 1963 and 'My Baby Left Me' the following year) were pure British R&B. Subsequently Berry was tempted into more commercial pop with Top Five songs like 'The Crying Game' (1964) and `Mama' (1966) before moving into the Northern club circuit in the late Sixties. Berry always found it difficult to sing in tune, but compensated for this by evolving an enjoyably eccentric stage act revived by Alvin Stardust in the Seventies.
