"12 STRING GUITAR BLUES"

Because JIMMY REED had commercial success with crossover audiences considerably beyond his 1950s/early 1960s contemporaries and elders, it's easy enough to forget that Jimmy Reed proved himself a topflight bluesman in his own right. "12 STRING GUITAR BLUES" is the perfect place to begin appreciating or re-appreciating Reed (as the Rolling Stones certainly did - they covered his "Honest, I Do" and often cited him as an influence equal to the influence folks like Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry had on them). Three of his signature hits are here: "Baby What You Want Me To Do," "Big Boss Man," and the particularly unforgettable "Bright Lights, Big City," which is still as gripping a blues jukebox classic as they come.
The rest are up to that standard and then some, laced as they are by the trademarks of Reed's deceptively easy grooving singing and harmonica playing style, Eddie Taylor's Delta-meets-the-city guitar playing, and the fingerpop backbeats. This could as much be called an extant of swamp music (Reed hailing himself from Louisiana) as it could be called R and B (as it was in its own day), so thick is the sound and the groove. Jimmy Reed earned his place among the seminal postwar American bluesmen. Here's where the dues began to be paid in full.
