The London Bo Diddley Sessions


The London Bo Diddley Sessions is the 17th studio album by musician Bo Diddley recorded in 1973 and released on the Chess label.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 2½ stars with reviewer Bruce Eder stating "Bo's presence was somewhat overwhelmed by the massive number of session musicians involved and more so, because Bo was still looking for a new sound,... The songs are pretty fair -- a mix of soul and funk -- with elements of his old sound, and this is probably the best compromise he achieved during this phase of his career, between the old and the new".
