With his simple, recognizable and accessible sound, Jimmy Reed was perhaps one of the most commercially successful blues artists in the USA, if not of all time. Reed was notable for bringing his distinctive style of blues to mainstream audiences. He was a major player in the field of electric blues, as opposed to the more acoustic-based sound of many of his contemporaries.
His lazy, 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, such as Elvis Presley, Billy Gibbons, the Yardbirds, Van Morrison, Etta James, the Grateful Dead, Steve Miller, Neil Young, and the Rolling Stones.
This 2 CD is a comprehensive collection of his earliest recordings and is the first time ever on CD that all his A and B sides have been compiled chronologically in one collection. It includes all the most notable Jimmy Reed classics: 'Baby What You Want Me to Do'; 'Bright Lights Big City'; 'Honest I Do'; 'You Don't Have to Go'; 'Going to New York'; 'Ain't That Lovin' You Baby' and 'Big Boss Man'.
