BO DIDDLEY THE INDISPENSABLE 1955-1960

Bo Diddley fut sans doute le musicien de rhythm and blues le plus original des années 1950-60.
Chanteur remarquable, compositeur prolifique extrêmement influent, homme de scène, souvent comique, Bo Diddley était un guitariste rythmique révolutionnaire aux innovations stylistiques autant que techniques. Inclassable visionnaire, il est le père spirituel de nombreux artistes, qui de la soul au rap, en passant par le blues, le rock and roll et jusqu au punk rock, se reconnaissent dans ce génie débridé.
Bruno Blum nous présente un authentique monument de la musique populaire du XXème siècle.
Patrick Frémeaux

Bo Diddley was probably the most original rhythm & blues musician of the Fifties and Sixties.
He was a remarkable singer, a prolific composer who left his mark in everyone’s songbook, an (often very funny) stage-personality... not to mention a revolutionary rhythm-guitarist whose innovations were both stylistic and technical.
A visionary who defied all attempts to classify him, he became a spiritual father to many artists, from soul-singers to rappers, blues, rock and roll and even punk-rock figures, who all seemed to recognise themselves in Bo’s unbridled genius.
This selection of his recordings compiled by Bruno Blum proves his status as a genuine monument in 20th century popular music.
