RARE! 1958 ORIGINAL "BLUES" CLASSIC!
JIMMY REED
I'M JIMMY REED
\ USA - VEE-JAY RECORDS - LP 1004 (MONO)
VERY RARE in collectible condition ...Original 1958 first pressing of "I'm Jimmy Reed" whis IS Jimmy Reed's FIRST album....here in bold MONO
His good-natured two-string boogie had already allowed him to cross over to the pop charts with the 1957 single "Honest I Do", the leadoff track on this album, and one of Reed's best and best-known songs, and Jimmy Reed would go on to outsell everybody from Muddy Waters to Howlin' Wolf (!).
Reed is backed by men like John Brim and Eddie Taylor, and a certain Albert Nelson (better known as Albert King) plays the - well, the drums, actually. Albert King started out as John Brim's drummer. And while Jimmy Reed's easily digestible and extremely accessible brand of blues certainly lacks the power and intensity of the music of Elmore James, Muddy Waters, or Howlin' Wolf, his best songs have long since become an integral part of the fabric of the blues, and everybody from Elvis Presley to The Rolling Stones have had a go at one or more of them.
