While that album only included one reference to this late rock'n'roll and genre defining US rocker, this album (Guru Guru) is full of these references. A lot of the music here is not much different from what Bo Diddley did in his heydays and until he passed away in 2008 after half a decade as a touring and recording artist. In other words; at least half of this album is Guru Guru's take on rockabilly/rock'n'roll. They sounds like Stray Cats at time and that is not a compliment. The remaining stuff is weirdo krautrock as we are used to from this band.
This album is by all means a weird album. The quality is not that good either. It feels like a tribute album gone wrong. Not to mention; weird. This is not an album I would like to remember this band for. There are some good stuff here, but not enough to defend the good reputation this band has got.
