Bo Diddley - His Greatest Sides Volume 1
Review by Carlo Eussen
Bo Diddley's His Greatest Sides is a collection of some of the most iconic and influential songs in rock and roll history. The album features Diddley's signature rhythm and blues sound, characterized by his use of the "Bo Diddley beat" - a distinctive rhythm pattern that has since become a staple in rock music.
The album opens with "Bo Diddley," a track that showcases Diddley's raw and energetic guitar playing, as well as his soulful vocals. Other standout tracks include "Road Runner," "Mona," and "Who Do You Love," all of which feature Diddley's unique blend of blues and rock.
The album also includes several instrumental tracks, such as "Aztec" and "Detour," which highlight Diddley's talent as a guitarist and his ability to create catchy, danceable rhythms.

Comments
I never did like that TV show "Friends".
Well in my opinion, Bo was the original rock and roller, just take a look at the date! 1956
Man,Everybody used the Bo Diddley beat on a ton of great songs. This was early no Billie-Bo guitar and gamblers hat
His first and only appearance on the Ed Sullivan show

A-MULE.
This song was the inspiration behind David Bowies Jean Genie.
His name is Jared and he's eating the sammiches.
Black Americans are never given credit by Conservative media for their massive influence on American culture. They'd rather erase and replace.

???? ALWAYS ???
Original release in 1955.
I will never understand why people talk about every 50s rocker, except Bo Diddley. I know a lot of people know about him, but not like Elvis, or Chubby Checker, etc. And while apparently a lot of musicians were inspired by him, I rarely hear people talk about him. But he put the rock in rock and roll. He had that raw energy. It sounds nasty. It has attitude. He should be the king, not Elvis. Sorry to rag on Elvis, I am sure he was great in his own way. But this is more my kind of music.
This particular song seems to have no relationship with the steve winwood spencer davis group i'm a man 1960s hit. I was just checking. The music and style and words are different.
Eyyymeeel
In Czech Republic too we love pork. Ever had our sausages?
Without this song, there is no "Bad to the Bone."
Makes me wanna go to the gym and put in work ??
