Jimmy Reed - I'm Jimmy Reed [Vinyl LP]

Jimmy Reed was an American blues musician and songwriter, notable for bringing his distinctive style of blues to mainstream audiences. Reed was a major player in the field of electric blues, as opposed to the more acoustic-based sound of many of his contemporaries. His laid-back, slack-jawed singing, piercing harmonica and hypnotic guitar patterns were one of the blues' most easily identifiable sounds in the 1950s and 1960s, and had a significant impact on many rock and roll artists who followed.

I'M JIMMY REED released in 1958 by Vee Jay, was his first album for the label and features such Reed classics as Honest I Do, Ain't That Lovin' You Baby and You Don't Have To Go, recorded in company with the likes of Eddie Taylor and Earl Phillips.
