"The Originator", the one and only Elllas Otha Bates, as known as Bo Diddley. He recorded his 1st album in 1958 and this album of hard hitting unpolished funk, r'n'b and rock deeply rooted in the blues was released the year before I was born, in 1970.

1)Elephant man (6,0) Hard hitting funky r'n'b.
2)You, Bo Diddley (4,5) Boring and repetitive.
3)Black soul (5,5) Repetitive organbased funky rock. Not much happening.
4)Power house (7,0) A good heavy bluesrocker.
5)If the bible's right (6,5) An okey r'n'b-rocker with nice female background vocals.
6)I've got a feeling (6,0)
7)Shut up, woman (6,5) A heavy and slow blues in Hotchie Kootchie-style.
8)Hot buttered blues (7,0) A slow blues.
9)Funky fly (4,5) Boring funky song.
10)I don't like you (6,0) Crazy spoken song between Bo and a woman.
Score: 5,95
