Bo Diddley › Bo Knows Bo

A budget-priced 10-track collection of favorites from Bo Diddley. All original recordings.

Personnel includes: Bo Diddley (vocals, guitar).

MCA Special Products' Bo Knows Bo is an odd hodgepodge of highlights from Bo Diddley's classic Chess and Checker recordings. There are a number of hits and cult favorites here -- "Hey! Bo Diddley," "Diddley Daddy," "Diddy Wah Diddy," "Crackin' Up," "Road Runner," "Who Do You Love," "You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover" -- but such obvious choices as "Bo Diddley" and "Say Man" are bypassed in favor of such items as "Diddling" or "Doing the Crawdaddy." That may not matter to the casual fans who are the primary target of this collection, since they will get a load of good music for a budget price. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
