Self-Titled Summer | Bo Diddley (1958, US)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 276 on The List, submitted by BlueGambit86. This is the debut studio album from "The Originator", known by that name for his influence on a number of big acts such as Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix moving from blues music to rock & roll. The eponymous title track had already been a number one R&B hit a few years prior to the release of this album, which collects other singles he had released between 1955 and 1958 and showcases the "Bo Diddley beat".

Self-Titled Summer | Bo Diddley (1958, US)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 276 on The List, submitted by BlueGambit86. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Point of origin?: Yes, yes he was! Bo Diddley, i.e., the stage name for Ellas Bates McDaniel, is also known as “The Originator” for his influence on a number of big acts such as Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix moving from blues music to rock & roll. Proficient in trombone and violin from an early age (primarily via playing at his church), picking up a guitar is what transformed this musician into Bo Diddley (though he may have picked up that name earlier on). In his teens and early 20s, Diddley busked in various bands, and, by 1951 (at the age of 22), he was a regular at the 708 Club in Chicago. By early 1955, he had a number one R&B hit, the eponymous track “Bo Diddley”. The album we look at here is his debut studio album, leading with that hit and followed by other singles he released between 1955 and 1958.
  • Tasting notes: Rock & roll, blues, the Bo Diddley beat
  • Standout track: “Bo Diddley”, “Who Do You Love?”
  • RIP: Bo Diddley left us in 2008, at the age of 79. He left behind an extensive discography (which we’ll briefly revisit in another spotlight), and an incalculable impact on music.
  • Websites: Artist website, Wikipedia

Happy listening!

The cover art is a photo of the artist, a black man wearing glasses with tinted lenses, a cream coloured suit jacket, white button up shirt, black bow tie, black pants, and black shoes. He's holding a red guitar and is standing with his legs spread apart, like he's in the middle of a groove. In the background are two band members in matching outfits - red plaid suit jacket, white shirt, black bow tie, black pants, black shoes, their faces not in view. One is sitting on a stool with a drum set up in front of him, drumsticks in hand. The backdrop is white, and the artist's name is written vertically in green letters along the righthand side.
