IMHO--I don't like the new one --at all. No comparison. Is it the recording techniques or the arrangement??? I don't know but the original is hands down better! Sorry.
@guidoman don't be sorry!! that's what's great about you tube. speak your peace!! i love the 'presence' of the blue lake recording from '55. amazing that chess and universal produced such superb recordings for their day. they hold up today. just great studios. Al Benson used universal, and the blues and vocal group recordings from that time are hard to fault. just a great sound, great music.
OK--I'm not sorry. These guys like Jody have to re-record their hits and they'll never live up to the original--and what would be the point of copying them note for note anyway? He's probably on tour and trying to sell records. Did he re-record "Moanin for Molasses" and "Hideout"?--my faves!
maybe it is because the man is 50 years older than on the original recording and almost all his former sidemen from the past are dead and gone for some years! LOL
He worked also at least 30 years not as a profi musician,too. I like both but the original is of course better because the music was new then- but I like generally blues, rock&roll from the original artists.
I like to invite you to my Bluescartoon on Bo Diddley (played all instruments&did the animation)hope you like it
Fantástico!

Both versions really great, but the 50's release is somehow more supple sounding, maybe the stand-up bass is the reason it pulses along so nicely!

@guidoman I know for sure he re-recorded Moaning for Molasses and Lucky Lou. My fav is Lonely Without You. Hope he re-records that.

Mr. Framat--you are so right! It is a testament to the blues musicians and creators of this music that we love that copying them is no easy feat!!!
