In an attempt to broaden my horizons I will be listening to an album I have never heard before every day for ~~the next~~ 100 days. I thought it would be fun to post some information about the album alongside my personal thoughts on it each day as well. Maybe you can use these threads to discover new music, too. Or if you're familiar with a day's album, maybe you can share your thoughts and recommendations.

Fun Facts

This titular album is Bo Diddley's first studio album, although he had been making and recording music for years beforehand. The album is considered a seminal work in the development of rock n roll.

Personal Thoughts

I enjoyed this album, the guitar playing especially. My favorite track was Bring It To Jerome, I really liked the catchy chorus and fast paced beat.

I would love to hear anyone's thoughts about this album as well as any recommendations.

i listened to bring it to jerome (don’t have enough time for a full album listen) and like the faster pace, but can’t say i love older music in general. it’s cool to listen to something so old though- i don’t know that i’ve really ever gone back before the 80’s while exploring music!

overall it has a fun sound, and if it came on the radio i’d give it a listen, but not personally my thing. good luck with your 100 albums!

I love this idea! I hope you enjoy and find new favorites. I recognized a many songs on this Bo Diddley album; Bring it to Jerome must be in dozens of movies, it's a classic
