Bo Diddley - The London Sessions
Review by Angel Ramirez
Bo Diddley's album, The London Sessions, is a masterpiece of blues and rock n' roll that showcases the legendary musician's skills as a songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist. Recorded in 1973 with a group of British rock musicians, the album features some of Diddley's most iconic songs, including "I'm a Man," "Who Do You Love," and "Bo Diddley."
The album's production is top-notch, with a raw and powerful sound that perfectly captures the energy and intensity of Diddley's live performances. The musicianship is outstanding, with Diddley's guitar playing front and center, supported by a tight rhythm section and some excellent keyboard work.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Story of Bo Diddley," a spoken-word piece in which Diddley tells the story of his life and career in his own words. The track is both entertaining and informative, giving listeners a glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest musicians of all time.
