St. Louis to Liverpool, Chuck Berry's seventh studio album, came out on Chess in 1964 with Leonard and Phil Chess at the controls, and the title draws a line from his hometown to Liverpool. Berry had been sentenced to prison in 1962 under the Mann Act and was released in 1963, and this record came in the wake of that release.
"No Particular Place to Go" and "Promised Land" find him back in his element, the guitar taut and stinging, the vocals quick-witted and wry, the whole thing moving like it's late for something. It became the first of his studio albums to show up on the Billboard album chart at all, climbing to number 124, and critic Dave Marsh later ranked it among the greatest rock and roll records ever made.
