The Best Of

Release Date: 2020

Bo Diddley's The Best Of (2020) compiles the defining tracks from the architect of the Bo Diddley beat, that distinctive syncopated rhythm that became foundational to rock and roll. His guitar work crackles with primal energy while his vocals alternate between growling authority and playful swagger, backed by maracas and that unmistakable rectangular guitar tone.
