AMG Review of Mona
Andrew Hamilton
All Music GuideBo Diddley works his patented hambone beat derived from '40s Southwestern bands (who called the rhythm "cut and shave") on "Bring It to Jerome," "Roadrunner," "Hey Bo Diddley" (13:44) ,and "Mona." His doo wop roots sprout on "I'm Sorry" and "Tonight Is Ours." And he marries lues and R&B on Willie Dixon's "You Can't Judge a Book By Looking at the Cover." This tight set is enough Diddley to satisfy most palates.
