| | Bo Diddley Vamp CD Bo Diddley Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Oddly, while effusively acknowledging Bo Diddley's enduring influence on both the R&B and rock scenes, the sleeve notes to this set are less than complimentary when talking about the artist's recording career, at least as far as nearly the last four decades go. But perhaps that's the unstated point -- Diddley may disappoint on disc, but on-stage he'll never let you down. If so, Vamp proves the point, as the album revisits his European tour of September 1984. Backed by a tight band comprised of guitarist Eric Bell, bassist Keith Tillman, drummer Stretch, saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith, and keyboardist Dave "Munch" Moore, the mighty Diddley runs through a devastating set of classics, kicking off (of course) with "Bo Diddley" itself. Diddley and company chug through a down-and-dirty version of "Everleen," chuckle through a rousing "Can't Judge a Book," and steam over "Roadrunner," and by the time the band launches into the simmering "I'm a Man" the crowd is screaming its approval. "Man" was obviously the fulcrum of the set, and Diddley spins it out into a ten-plus-minute epic, giving all power to the riff, then reeling it back in to let Heckstall-Smith take the lead, before the band joins back in to take it out in powerhouse style. After that, "Mona" should, by rights, just fade away in comparison, but Diddley and band offer it up with such exhilaration and obvious delight that one falls in love with this vivacious lady all over again. Diddley was obviously in top form during these shows, the crowds as enthusiastic as he, and the result is a splendid reminder of just why this guitar slinger is not just an American legend, but still a popular live performer to this day. The only caveat is that, with the set clocking in at a mere 48 minutes, you'll be left shouting futilely for more. ~ Jo-Ann Greene
This live set featuring all of The Bo Man's favorites demonstrates why Mr. Diddley is one of rock 'n roll's most enduring performers!

Vamp album
 $10.55  
Pete Anderson's third solo outing has been a long time coming, and one gets the distinct impression that it's the album he's been itching to make all along. Given that Daredevil is completely instrumental, the guitar geeks already have something to salivate about. But there's much more to it than that. Anderson played the vast majority of instruments, with help in a few places from multi-instrumentalist Skip Edwards and minimal assistance from trumpeter Lee Thornberg and fiddler Donny Reed as well. There's also some string work ...

Born in Canton, Ohio—home of the O'Jays, Macy Gray and Marilyn Manson—Chris Belden grew up listening to the LPs his many older brothers left around the house, everything from The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel to Allen Sherman and the soundtracks to Goldfinger and The Magnificent Seven. Chris was also heavily influenced at an early age by the films of Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, and such foreign greats as Ingmar Bergman. Then there were books, starting with The Hardy Boys and working his way through the thrillers of Alistair MacLean to the futuristic satires of Kurt Vonnegut and Anthony Burgess. How did all these influence his music? Who the hell knows—but surely they must have.Chris attended the University of Michigan, where he played drums in several bands, including the local favorites The Slang. It was in Ann Arbor that he met Joe Henry, then just starting what would become an illustrious career as singer/songwriter and producer. Chris played drums on Joe's first album, Talk of Heaven, and backed Joe up for several years at such New York City-area venues as CBGB, Tramp's and Maxwell's. Over the years, Chris has, in addition to songs, written fiction, screenplays and plays. ...
