Our Take

Ah, Bo Diddley, the man, the myth, the musical legend. The iconic rhythm and blues pioneer left an indelible mark on the music industry, and his influence can still be heard in countless songs today.

On the compilation album "Various Artists: Bo Diddley Blew My Mind," we are treated to a delightful array of covers and tributes to the man himself. From The Rolling Stones to Buddy Holly, the artists featured on this album pay homage to Bo Diddley in their own unique ways.

The standout track on the album has to be The Beatles' rendition of "Road Runner," which captures the essence of Bo Diddley's signature sound while adding their own playful twist. The Fab Four's harmonies and energetic performance truly showcase their love and admiration for the rock and roll pioneer.

However, not all tracks on the album hit the mark. Some artists seem to struggle to capture the raw energy and spirit of Bo Diddley's music, resulting in lacklustre interpretations that fall flat.

Overall, "Various Artists: Bo Diddley Blew My Mind" is a mixed bag of covers that may not all hit the mark, but is worth a listen for fans of the man himself and those curious about his lasting impact on music. So, grab a cuppa, put on your dancing shoes, and let Bo Diddley blow your mind all over again. Cheers!
