Music Single : Chris Spedding – Roadrunner

CB was familiar with Chris Spedding as a session guy.  So I took a chance on one of his  albums.  This is one of the cuts off of it. Instant CB love. I didn’t even know it was a Bo Diddley tune.  Needless to say it was right up my alley.  Right off the top with the opening  “I’m a Roadrunner honey” then Chris’s guitar takes us into  rock n roll heaven.  The infectious beat carries the song with Spedding singing and laying down some great chops.

This is one of the coolest songs in the world. Lots of great versions but this is the go to one for me.  Chris is a dyed in the wool rocker just like CB.  Lots of great guitarists out there. Chris Spedding holds his own with any of them. CS takes this great Bo song and does it justice. Get greasy with Chris. I saw Spedding and Robert Gordon together in a small dive.. The concert was exactly the way this song sounds.

“Take my hand baby..”
