Our Take

Welcome to the wild and wacky world of Bo Diddley's "Is a Gunslinger"! This album is a rollercoaster of rock 'n' roll, blues, and downright quirky tunes that will have you tapping your feet and shaking your hips in no time.

Bo Diddley, the pioneer of the signature Bo Diddley beat, brings his unique style and swagger to every track on this record. From the foot-stomping opener "Gunslinger" to the sultry and smooth "Help Out", Diddley keeps the party going with his infectious energy and catchy riffs.

The album also features a few surprise guest appearances, including Chuck Berry on the rollicking "Diddling", and Little Richard on the funky "Who Do You Love?" These collaborations add an extra layer of fun and excitement to an already lively and dynamic record.

But it's not all fun and games on "Is a Gunslinger". Diddley also delves into some deeper themes, like love, loss, and longing, on tracks such as "She's Alright" and "Back Home". These moments of introspection add depth and complexity to an album that is otherwise bursting at the seams with energy and enthusiasm.

So grab your leather jacket, hop on your Harley, and crank up the volume on Bo Diddley's "Is a Gunslinger" - you won't be able to resist the urge to dance and sing along to every infectious beat.

About the artist

Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley: The Originator Bo Diddley, the rhythm and blues pioneer with a beats-per-minute speed that could make a hummingbird look sluggish, burst onto the scene in the 1950s like a firework in a sea of sparklers. Born Ellas Otha Bates McDaniel in Mississippi, this guitar-slinging, hip-swinging icon fused electrifying blues with a touch of primal rock 'n' roll to create a sound that was unmistakably his own. With his signature rectangular guitar and pounding, syncopated rhythms, Bo Diddley was a force to be reckoned with in the music world. His smooth, soulful vocals and rebellious spirit made him a true original, inspiring countless musicians to pick up their own instruments and chase their dreams. Known for hits like "I'm a Man" and "Who Do You Love?", Bo Diddley's infectious energy and charisma captivated audiences worldwide. 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. His innovative use of distortion and feedback influenced generations of musicians, from The Rolling Stones to The White Stripes. With his undeniable talent, larger-than-life personality, and boundary-pushing creativity, Bo Diddley will forever be remembered as a true legend in the annals of music history. Bow down to the originator, for there will never be another quite like him.
