Road Runner: The Chess Masters 1959 - 1960

BO DIDDLEY Road Runner: The Chess Masters 1959 - 1960 (2008 UK 2-CD album set - This unique 2-disc set picks up where the 1st volume, 'I'm A Man: The Chess Masters 1955-1958,' left off, and stands as a reminder of how endlessly creative and groundbreaking 'The Originator' was. The 52-track 2nd volume covers all of his 1959 home and Chess studio recordings, plus half of his first 1960 session; and shows Mr. Diddley expanding his musical base far and wide, including adding a second guitarist, emphasizing melodies very different than his original blues base, and working on a number of intriguing guitar and rhythm-based instrumentals. There is only one major hit here ['Road Runner'], but this volume is a treasure trove of Diddley-ized rare gems [23 previously unreleased songs or alternates] and many tracks seeing life on CD for the first time in the U.S. [and sometimes anywhere]. Comes complete with extensive sleevenotes by Diddley biographer/ discographer George R. White, and a complete track by track credits.)
