From The Desk Of Marshall Crenshaw: Bo Diddley

Feb 19, 5:00pm MAGNET
Bo Diddley
Acclaimed power-pop master Marshall Crenshaw certainly knows how the music business works—or, in the case of many artists, doesn't work. But Crenshaw is now waving goodbye to the traditional system, as the platinum-selling Grammy and Golden Globe nominee has decided to ditch the middle man and put out an EP subscription vinyl/download series. Thanks to [...]

Bo Diddley – Bo Diddley’s Beach Party

This one was described to me as sounding at times, "like the MC53 so of course I had to check it out. Because how often do you get to hear a Bo Diddley album that sounds like the MC5? The answer, of course, is never. Except on this album. Did you know (you probably did [...]

The Most Bad-Ass Riff

Sep 29, 2012, 12:50am 30 Days Out
The Most Bad-Ass Riff Muddy Waters at the Houston Juneteenth Blues Fest, 1977. Rock and roll has some killer riffs, mostly played on the electric guitar, and there is no riff more bad-ass than the da-dum-da-DUM riff from songs like Bo Diddley's "I'm A Man." Bo had some killer riffs in some of his songs, but the original source seems to be "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man," by Muddy Waters from 1954. Written by Willie Dixon, it seems to be the first use of this motif that has shown up in blues and rock music ever [...]

All Aboard!

Jun 19, 2012, 7:11am Diddy Wah
All Aboard! mp3: Bo Diddley - Down Home Train The chugging railroad rhythm is Bo Diddley's signature guitar sound and it's more than amply demonstrated here in this quintessential train tune from 1956. The song, about a man going home to see his baby, starts with Diddley asking for a ticket to MaComb, Mississippi. An interesting choice as Big Bad Bo left McComb for Chicago aged just 7 years. Seems he was a Mannish Boy after all. Today's selection was called Down Home Special when it was originally released on [...]

Yow! The Best Rock and Roll Screams

May 19, 2012, 11:34am 30 Days Out
Yow! The Best Rock and Roll Screams Roger Daltrey of The Who Our greatest rockers are people who apparently never used their "indoor voice." Why should they? They were future rockers! Anyhow, the other day I was thinking that the one ingredient basic to any good rock and roll song - besides a guitar solo, of course - is a blood-curdling scream. It could be an expression of rage and defiance, like Roger Daltrey's classic scream at the end of "Won't Get Fooled Again," or it can be a cathartic release of pain and frustration, like John Lennon in "Well Well [...]

Bo Diddley: The Black Gladiator (Remastered)

May 18, 2012, 3:00am PopMatters
Bo Diddley - Elephant Man - 1970
An unfairly lambasted and ignored near-masterpiece from rock 'n' roll's most humble elder statesman. For those of you who don't know who Bo Diddley is, he was never shy about telling you; Bo Diddley is a man, a lover, a gunslinger, the originator who used a cobra for a necktie and made a chimney out of human skulls. Bashful, he is not. But beyond the fact that about ninety percent of his songs were made up of personal boasts (most certainly a precursor to the braggadocio that would later...

Graded on a Curve: Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley

Apr 12, 2012, 11:30am The Vinyl District
Graded on a Curve: Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley What’s the right time for Bo Diddley?  Any time, and thanks for asking. For those more familiar with the sui generis rock ‘n’ roll architect’s colorful legend then with the undying grandeur of his music, may I suggest starting at square one? That would be 1958’s Bo Diddley, which stands as one of the finest debuts in the history of the whole r ’n’ r shebang. In rock terms, the enormous figure that is the late Ellas McDaniel né Bo Diddley is basically inescapable. Of course fans of the wild ‘50s explosion that [...]

Bo Diddley :: The Black Gladiator (Reissue)

Mar 20, 2012, 5:02pm An Aquarium Drunkard
"Who's the funkiest man in town? You are Bo Diddley." Sans, say, drugs, the closest you'll ever come to hearing an album again for the first time is through the ears of another - i.e. their reaction. In this case the album in question is Bo Diddley's 1970 psych-funk monster, The Black Gladiator - the [...]

No Title Bo Diddley - The Black Gladiator Bo Diddley is responsible for a lot of things, the Bo Diddley beat and the rise of a hundred garage bands being just a couple, but badass funk isn't necessarily one of those things that comes to mind. Around the same time that The Black Gladiator hit the streets Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf recast themselves in a modern light utilizing a cast of modern session players and dabbling with psychedelic textures and styles. In the same mold of experimentalism meeting [...]

Bo Diddley - Road Runner (Shindig 1965)
Why Bo Diddley, you may ask? Why not? I may reply. Any time's as good as another for Bo Diddley, and this rockin' version of "Road Runner" is from 1965 and the TV show "Shindig." They used to have stuff like this on TV all the time.
