Enjoy An Album with Liam Withnail & Christopher Macarthur-Boyd

Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley / Go Bo Diddley


Listen Later

Bo Diddley transmuted the juba hambone beat into rock ‘n’ roll, inspired by blues legends like Howlin Wolf and then ruthlessly plagiarised and whitewashed by everybody from Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones to George Michael, The Smiths and Guns ‘N’ Roses. ‘Bo Diddley’ and ‘Go Bo Diddley’ are his first and second albums, released in the late fifties and containing his biggest charting singles like the self-titled banger ‘Bo Diddley’.

They’re also, somehow, the 455th Greatest Album of All Time, according to Rolling Stone magazine. This week, Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail listened to it, and now they’re going to talk about it. Featuring good shouts and hot takes on everything from Robbie Williams, The Ed Sullivan Show, ZZ Topp, ‘I Want Candy’ and the big four of eighties funereal doom. All that plus a fruitless edition of Secret Posho and a scintillating incarnation of Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, on this week’s episode of Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!
