• Legendary guitarist, gifted songwriter, master of rhythm, snappy dresser... Bo Diddley is all of these things and more. This CD includes his first two albums, “Bo Diddley” (1957) and “Go Bo Diddley” (1959), which offer a solid introduction into this man's special brand of musical innovation.
• This re-release includes two bonus tracks from the same recording sessions, which weren’t included on either album. It also contains a 16-page booklet, including rare photos, vintage memorabilia, detailed liner notes and more. Total Time: 66:55 - 25 tracks.
• Between hypnotic and rhythmic guitar lines, these tracks show a young Bo Diddley at his raw and primal best, and confirm that right out of the box the guy didn't sound like anyone else in rock & roll
• "Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry were close to the straight electric blues. But Bo Diddley was fascinatingly on the edge. There was something African going on in there. His style was outrageous, suggesting that the kind of music we loved didn't just come from Mississippi. It was coming from somewhere else." (Keith Richards)
• Personnel : Bo Diddley, guitar and vocals, plus: Jody Williams (guitar), Willie Dixon (bass), Frank Kirkland, Clifton James (drums), Henry Gray, Lafayette Leake, Otis Spann (piano), Jerome Green (vocals & maracas), Billy Boy Arnold (harmonica), The Moonglows (backing vocals), among others. Recorded in Chicago, Illinois (USA), 1955-1958. |
