Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to another week here in the land of vinyl.<\/p>\n

The disc I bring you today is something I picked up while I was out digging last year.<\/p>\n

You all know that I hold Bo Diddley<\/strong> in the highest possible esteem.<\/p>\n

He was a gunslinger, surfer, scooter owner and general badass, as well as one of the architects of the one true rock and roll.<\/p>\n

Though there are those that will boil him down to his essence, that being the famous \u201cbeat\u201d, there are others (like me, for instance<\/em>) who know what a truckload of manure that is.<\/p>\n

Bo made a LOT of amazing music in his career (some of it beyond amazing, like cornerstone of modern music<\/strong> amazing) but unfortunately, outside of collectors of vinyl (on the deep side), much of his later catalog is not well known.<\/p>\n

The track I bring you today is (believe your ears or not) from 1967, where it appeared on the flipside of the decidedly non-boogaloo-ish, \u2018Boogaloo Before You Go\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Wrecking My Love Life\u2019 packs a metric ton of swagger into its two minutes and 47 seconds, with a thick, spicy bouillabaisse of echoey, reverbed guitar, harmonica, and female backing vocals.<\/p>\n

The first time I heard this one, I had to go back to make sure that it wasn\u2019t an earlier side being reissued because it sounds like 1962, holed up in a bunker where 1967 keeps a knockin\u2019 but can\u2019t get in.<\/p>\n

The record stomps arounds like some kind of R&B kaiju, crushing buildings, cars and tanks under its massive feet.<\/p>\n

Solid stuff from the master, and one I think you\u2019ll want to play over and over again.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll see you on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
