Originally released as the B-side of Berrys first single Maybellene, it went on to become a hit, reaching #10 in the Billboard R&B chart.[1] The song is a twelve-bar blues that has been described as a slow, sensuous blues featuring some exceptional piano from Johnnie Johnson.[2] Wee Wee Hours was on Berrys original audition tape submitted to Leonard Chess in hope of landing a recording contract with the Chess label.[2] Although it seemed like a good fit with the record companys blues roster,[3] Chess was even more interested in the song that became Maybellene, the song that launched Berrys career as a rock n roll star. Berry often performed the song live and it is included on the 1969 Chuck Berry Live in Concert album and in the 1987 film Hail! Hail! Rock n Roll with Eric Clapton.
