Bo Diddley - Have Guitar, Will Travel (1984) (Re-issue)
An American R&B and Chicago Blues vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and music producer, credited for being the originator of crossing over blues and rock n' roll and being a major influence on future rock hall of famers like the Animals, Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, the Velvet Underground, the Who, the Yardbirds, Eric Clapton, Elvis Presley and the Beatles. Have Guitar, Will Travel is the third studio album for Bo Diddley and features such classics as "Cops and Robbers," "Run Diddley Daddy," and "Mona (I Need You Baby)".
What can you say about Thriller that hasn't already been said thousands of times? It's one of the highest (if not highest) selling album of all-time and won Michael Jackson eight Grammy awards. Contains amazing tracks like "Billie Jean", "Human Nature", "Beat It" and "PYT".
This collection contains a few songs that were previously released such as "Players Balling" first appeared on 1971's Pain, "Sleep Talk" and the instrumental "Food Stamps, Y'all" had been on 1973's Ecstasy. But most of the tunes were previously unreleased, including the title song and covers of "Proud Mary" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On."
A group that's almost like a massive homage to the late 80's early 90's Pop, Hip Hop and Electronic era. Funky beats, catchy lyrics and Lady Gaga style outfits and wacky videos make Yelle an odd but extremely entertaining synth-pop style group that you're sure to fall in love with if you're a Pop fan.
