Our Take

Ah, Bo Diddley, the original rock 'n' roll outlaw. With his iconic rectangular guitar and signature rhythm, he's back with "Bo Diddley Is A Gunslinger," a wild ride through the dusty plains of musical innovation.

Opening track "Gunslinger" hits you like a bullet to the heart, with Diddley's gritty vocals cutting through the twangy guitar riffs like a sharpshooter on a mission. The relentless energy doesn't let up as we dive into tracks like "Ride On Josephine," a raucous romp through the back alleys of the blues.

But it's not all rough and tumble with Bo. Tracks like "Cadillac" show a softer side to the gunslinger, with soulful melodies and heart-wrenching lyrics that will have you reaching for the tissues.

Diddley's songwriting prowess shines on tracks like "Sixteen Tons," a rollicking tribute to the working man that will have you stomping your feet and raising your fists in solidarity.

Overall, "Bo Diddley Is A Gunslinger" is a wild ride through the wild west of rock 'n' roll, with Diddley at the helm as the ultimate outlaw of the music world. So grab your cowboy hat and saddle up, because this album is one hell of a ride. Yeehaw!

His stage presence was electrifying, with his flashy suits and unmistakable guitar style leaving a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to witness his live performances. But Bo Diddley wasn't just a showman - he was a musical trailblazer, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of rhythm and blues.
