Bo Diddley
Universal's 2007 set The Definitive Collection is a retitled reissue of the previously released 1997 comp His Best. No matter the title, this is an excellent 20-track roundup of Bo basics. To be sure, not everything great that he did is here by any means -- a bunch of great singles are missing, such as the crushing boogie of "Diddly Wah Diddy," ...

The Essential Magic Slim

by
Magic Slim
Magic Slim's only compilation from his most fruitful years on the well distributed and regarded Blind Pig label covers the period from 1990s Gravel Road through 2005's Anything Can Happen live set. That's six albums of material whittled down to 15 tracks yielding about an hour's worth of music. Since the guitarist rather doggedly stayed locked in ...

Magic Slim & The Teardrops
Another solid Slim set with an additional emphasis on the considerable contributions of second guitarist John Primer, who handles vocals on three cuts (including covers of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" and Eugene Church's "Pretty Girls Everywhere"). This was a particularly potent edition of Teardrops, pounding through Slim's own title cut and ...

Bo's Blues

by
Bo Diddley
Bo's Blues features 22 of Bo Diddley's best blues-oriented sides from the Chess catalog, including some rare stuff -- the rip-roaring 1959 outing "Run Diddley Daddy," a jive-loaded "Cops and Robbers" from 1956 that features maraca shaker Jerome Green more than Diddley, and a surging "Down Home Special." If you think that everything Bo Diddley ever ...

Hey! Bo Diddley/Bo Diddley

more music like this
by
Bo Diddley
Beat Goes On reissued Bo Diddley's eponymous debut and his 1962 effort Hey! Bo Diddley on one compact disc in 1996. Although these two records don't necessarily sit well together -- the first is sublime, the second notoriously uneven -- it's still a nice way to pick them up on CD, especially since the sound and packaging are first-rate. However, ...

A Walk on the Blues Side [Compendia]
(2006)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
This two-disc set traces through the roots rock side of the blues, with a handful of gospel-inflected blues pieces thrown in, and the end result feels a bit like listening to an Americana block on an AOR radio station, which is great if you like that sort of thing, and less than great if you don't. Among the highlights are the Fabulous ...

John McEuen and the L.A. String Wizards
This delightful live recording finds John McEuen (former leader of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) on-stage in his hometown, obviously completely at ease and spinning out a long program of tunes both standard ("I Am a Pilgrim," "Sheik of Araby") and original ("Good Old Boys Texas," "Night Flight"). The focus is on instrumentals, with McEuen taking the ...

Roy Head
The 15 recordings on Head On! were made during a commercial drought following Roy Head's mid-'60s streak of hits preceding his successful resurrection as a country artist in the early '70s. Although there are a couple of country songs (one of which is a remake of his hit "Treat Her Right"), the rest of the performances fuse James Brown with Mitch ...

Various Artists
A nice idea -- although a better, more eclectic tribute can be found on Rhino's Bo Diddley Beats compilation, released a decade earlier. Hey Bo Diddley: A Tribute! follows in the celebrated '90s tradition of corralling established blues and rock talents and letting them pay homage to their heroes in the studio, often with the help of a common ...
