Justin Sherill:

A fun album to listen to, especially if you are a blues fan. (Diddy Wah Diddy is a Bo Diddley tune.) This album is short, but it's well-produced and good if you are a fan of music of that era.

Graham Johnston:

This mini-album features the biggest, rumblingest blues tunes ever, and contains many pleasing suggestions of what would follow. Great fun.

Colin B. Morton sent along the following cutting from the very first issue of Sniffin' Glue 1976 (this has since been reprinted in 20-issue bound coffee table edition), which gives "Diddy Wah Diddy" a big seal of approval. I'm not sure I entirely agree with the last line, though!

Captain Beefheart - "Diddy Wah Diddy" (A&M import) This is not new and it's not easy to get, but what a brilliant performance by the Captain. He pouts, grunts and plays some mouth-harp that will get you high. This is so early it's ancient - 1964's the year but it doesn't matter. Other tracks are "Frying Pan", "Moonchild" and "Who Do You Think You're Fooling?" It's raw R&B that kicks in the head everything the Captain has done since.
