Bo Diddley
Bo Diddley - Is A Lover LP
$38.00
There's not a bad song on this long-forgotten album; in fact, it's all killer
material! Diddley slips most effectively into his "Say Man" groove on "Bo's
Vacation"; plays some serious Chicago blues on "Call Me (Bo's Blues)" and
makes it count; invades Chuck Berry territory by way of Howlin' Wolf on
the window-rattling "Hong Kong Mississippi" (a track so riveting and funny,
and so rippling in superb guitar work, it makes this album worthwhile on
its own); and he generally just slays with every turn.
