You guys are so freaked - it doesn't matter who did who's tune. So many artists cover others' music - it is an honor and a compliment to the original artist IMO. Case in point: Tim Hardin's "If I Were a Carpenter". One of the most beautiful songs of our era - but how many would have heard it if no one but Tim had done it? Hell, I didn't know who Tim was until I heard Bobby Darin's version. Now it has been covered by artists from every genre and millions have been able to share and enjoy it.

I grew up in the 50's and was alway drawn to Fats Domino, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Bill Haley. But none of them blew me away as much as Bo. As I grew older, I'd get away from the core of rock and roll, but then someone would cover a Bo song, and BAM! I'd get pulled right back to Bo's sound. So many great bands have covered Chess [and New Orleans] artists over the years - But Bo Diddley is one of the master creators of Rock 'n' Roll. RIP Bo - you were the best!

I don't think Jimi Hendrix ever toured with Muddy's band, but he did tour with Little Richard, Curtis Mayfield (the Impressions), and the Isley Brothers along with some others. As for Elvis, his first release was a year before Chuck's first release. They were contemporaries if anything, and there are a lot of social reasons for Elvis become the biggest RnR star, more than just the music. Black artists like Chuck and Bo Diddley were swimming against the current in 1950's America.

Yeah, it's a great album. A friend had it when I was in HS it helped me to become a life-long blues fan. Rockin' blues for sure. I hope somebody does post the whole album... I don't have a copy and it should be more widely heard. Good drummer!
