Just how bad can a Bo Diddley album be? Well, a lot worse for one--it might feature strings or Bo's cover versions of the latest top 20 hits but fortunately he and his handlers Johnny Otis and Pete Welding know better. On the other hand, just how good can a Bo Diddley album be? Unlike Chuck Berry, who must also transcend a certain musical homogenity, Bo hasn't written a whole songbook full of great lyrics and his musical homogenity, such as it is, is a lot more homogenous than Chuck's.
