JIMMY REED
with the AL SMITH'S BLUES BAND:
LEFTY BATES, WAYNE BENNETT, EDDIE TAYLOR, JIMMY TILLMAN, PHIL
There's simply no sound in the blues as easily digestible, accessible, instantly recognizable, and as easy to play
and sing as the music of Jimmy Reed. His best-known songs -- "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" -- have become such an integral part of the standard
blues repertoire, it's almost as if they have existed forever. Because his style was simple and easily imitated,
his songs were accessible to just about everyone from high-school garage bands having a go at it,
to Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich, Lou Rawls, Hank Williams, Jr., and the Rolling Stones, making him -- in the long run --
perhaps the most influential bluesman of all. His bottom-string boogie rhythm guitar patterns (all furnished
by boyhood friend and longtime musical partner Eddie Taylor), simple two-string turnarounds, country-ish
harmonica solos (all played in a neck-rack attachment hung around his neck),
and mush-mouthed vocals were probably the first exposure most white folks had to the blues
