I heard the Meters on the radio today and it reminded me that I had something by Art Neville waiting in the wings. It's a two sided cover of Bo Diddley's "Bo Diddley" and it's a great example of how the Nevilles, in this case Art with the aid of Allen Toussaint, can funk-ify just about anything. Bo Diddley's original has a certain Diddley charm, what with the patented Bo Diddley beat, but Neville's cover is more engaging. I've no clue why anybody would cover a song about Bo Diddley, written by Bo Diddley, recorded and self-produced by Bo Diddley, but people do. Bo Diddley even covered it. Still, Art Neville...
