Our Take

Bo Diddley, the man, the myth, the legend. The man with the squarest guitar and the roundest beats. His latest offering, "Have Guitar, Will Travel / In The Spotlight," is a musical journey like no other.

On this album, Bo Diddley showcases his signature blend of rock 'n' roll, blues, and R&B with a sprinkle of that undeniable Bo Diddley swagger. The opening track, "She's Fine She's Mine," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious groove and irresistible charm.

Diddley's guitar playing is as sharp as ever, slicing through each track with precision and finesse. Songs like "I Love You So" and "Dearest Darling" showcase his virtuosity, while tracks like "Crackin' Up" and "Call Me" highlight his versatility as a songwriter.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Tracks like "Limbo" and "Give Me a Break" show a darker, more introspective side to Bo Diddley's music, proving that even rock 'n' roll legends have their moments of vulnerability.

Overall, "Have Guitar, Will Travel / In The Spotlight" is a testament to Bo Diddley's enduring legacy as one of the greats of American music. So grab your guitar, hit the road, and let Bo Diddley take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.

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.
