Bo Diddley – Have Guitar Will Travel (LP Vinyl)

The beat that launched a thousand riffs. Bo Diddley's signature syncopated rhythm, that rolling, hypnotic pulse he carried from the Chicago streets to the world stage, runs through rock and roll's DNA in ways that still haven't been fully mapped. Released in 1960, *Have Guitar Will Travel* finds him in confident, road-tested form, the title alone a declaration of the itinerant bluesman's ethos that defined his entire career.
