The story behind
Bo Diddley recorded Hush Your Mouth on the album Bo Diddley. The song lasts two and a half minutes, and has that fast rhythm, that dry and direct guitar sound that defines it. It's one of those pieces that moves between blues and rock and roll, with a clear rhythmic base and a voice that takes center stage. The lyrics are simple, direct, as if someone were telling you something in a whisper, and the guitar accompanies it without complications. It's a song that's played, not studied. ↓ Skip to chordsVerse 1
