#GreatAlbums1950s - #BoDiddley – Bo Diddley (1958). The insistent hambone beat (dependent as much on Jerome Green’s infectious maracas as Bo himself) was only part of the Diddley sound, although “Bo Diddley” and “Pretty Thing” set it down for the ages. Diddley also performed straight blues (“Before You Accuse Me”) and used doo-wop vocal cues (“Diddy Wah Diddy”), besides the hoodoo stew of “Who Do You Love?”. Nobody made more iconic music with simpler elements. #GreatBluesAlbums, #GreatRockAlbums

" 'Doodly-squat' might seem like a mild topic for Strong Language, but there's a lot going on under the surface of that frivolous-sounding word."
