Thank you for you seeing it. .com With his meteoric run of hits from early 1955 through late 1961, Chicago's Jimmy Reed reigned as the most popular bluesman of his day, rivaled only by fellow Mississippi transplant B.B. King. By the mid-'60s Reed was playing New York's Carnegie Hall and the Apollo Theater and touring England as a star. Reed's sweet, Delta-inflected singing complemented the cool, walking bass shuffles of his cleverly crafted songs, the finest of which are to be found in this tasteful contribution to Rhino's Blues Masters series. Included here are chart toppers like "You Don't Have to Go," "Ain't That Lovin' You, Baby," "Baby, What You Want Me to Do," "Big Boss Man," and "Bright Lights, Big City," all durable standards that influenced a generation of rockers from Bob Dylan to the Rolling Stones to Jimi Hendrix and earned Reed his proper place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. --Alan Greenberg

The" Real" Big Bossman
I first heard Jimmy Reed when I was 16 years old and it really spoke to me. This is the type of blues I really like. It speaks to life.

A must have
One must know Jimmy & Co. and make an in depth study of the nuances and subtleties of these stylistic icons, if one is to pay due homage when playing these songs correctly.

Doesn't get any better . . .
With the possible exception of Chuck Berry, this is the real stuff of electric blues, the basic DNA blocks of every rock band from the Stones through Led Zep to GnR and beyond. They all took the basic shuffle/boogie from this wonderful performer. He is what English traditional music fans would know as a source singer. Absolutely required listening if you have any feeling at all for rhythm and blues.

One of the best.
This is a record you need in your collection if you like blues.

Original and takes me back to when...
The tracks seem to be the same versions I heard 55 years ago, when as an aspiring "teddy boy", my tastes where moved to the blues. Jimmy REED was one of the first I heard, along with Muddy Waters etc., and I never recovered. It is difficult to explain and understand what a culture shock this was for me and my generation, but to anyone starting on the blues route I can only suggest that this is as good a place to start as any, for authentic simple blues roots.
