One of the essential names of the early rock and roll era, inventor of that "Bo Diddley beat" -- bomp, ba-bomp-bomp, bomp-bomp -- that became one of rock & roll's bedrock rhythms - showing up in the work of Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones, and the Who to name but a few - Bo Diddley pushed rock and roll to its funkiest extreme. Mostly known for the hot and raunchy hit "Road Runner", Bo's fourth album from 1960 hides more than a few suprises: from the Caribbean-sounding "Limber", to the doo wop-style "Deed and Deed I Do", or the solid instrumental "Scuttle Bug", this is an unmissable chapter in Bo's early career.
