Listened to: MP3(I know this is short, but we just got a bitch of a snow storm, plus I gotta prep for auditions tomorrow)
From the opening track, you can sense this album is the foundation of rock and roll. The late Bo Diddley has his fingerprint on every album post-1960. It’s hard to pick this album apart track by track, because it’s not about the songs themselves. It’s that rush you feel while listening, that every guitarist and musician with even a hint of the blues in them felt, that inspires you to pick up the guitar and play. Sure, “I’m A Man” is one of the quintessential songs in the history of rock and roll, but every track on this album could be. Absolutely worth the listen. Know your roots, children.

Tomorrow will be #382: More Songs About Buildings And Food by The Talking Heads.
