The legendary singer-songwriter Marshall Crenshaw joins me to talk about an artist whose influence changed the sound of music forever. Marshall talks discovering the classic Diddley Greatest Hits record as a teenager growing up in suburban Michigan, the deceptive drone quality to some of the tracks, the origin of the Bo Diddley name, the other players who were an important part of the Bo Diddley sound, the gear Diddley used, how Marshall has injected elements of the soundscape from this record into his own music through the years, the magic of a group of players performing together live in the studio, how technology and budgets has influenced how records are made and more.
