	Jimmy Reed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reed was a major player in the field of electric blues, as opposed to the more acoustic-based sound of many of his contemporaries.
		Jimmy Reed was born in Dunleith, Mississippi in 1925, learning the harmonica and guitar from Eddie Taylor, a close friend.
		The Rolling Stones have cited Reed as a major influence on their sound, and one of the Stones' first recordings was their cover of Reed's "Honest I Do." His recording of "Big Boss Man" was voted one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

	JReed
		Jimmy Reed was born Mathis James Reed in 1925 in Washington County Mississippi.
		Jimmy Reed begins to gain popular acceptance of the adult R and B fans, as the younger set prefers the vocal groups and the teenage performers that have become the front line of rock and roll.
		Reed especially is the favorite of young fans because of his simple yet driving sound of the droning guitars and the intense sound of his harmonica on the slow blues numbers.

	Jimmy Reed
		Reed was born on September 6, 1925, on a plantation in or around the small burg of Dunleith, MS.
		Jimmy Reed also appears, by all accounts, to have been unable to remember the lyrics to new songs -- even ones he had composed himself -- and Mama Reed would sit on a piano bench and whisper them into his ear, literally one line at a time.
		Jimmy Reed placed 11 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 pop charts and a total of 14 on the R&B charts, a figure that even a much more sophisticated artist like B.B. King couldn't top.

		Jimmy Reed was born September 26, 1925 in Dunleith, Mississippi.
		Reed's simple but evocative sound of walking bass lines mixed with high and slow harp did develop that unique, stacatto style, a blowing style with a lot less suck than someone such as Little Walter or Sonny Boy Williamson.
		Jimmy Reed to say the least had a a lot of trouble with the bottle, however he was not the first nor the last to encounter such difficulties after all it is part of life.

		Yet, Jimmy Reed -- not a celebrated 12-string guitar player like Leadbelly or any of the other renowned instrumentalists who came up in Leadbelly's wake -- cut this acoustic 12-string instrumental album, which has become an enduring classic of the genre.
		Reed was as skilled at presenting his guitar work as he was as a singer, and his playing on 12 String Guitar Blues is smooth, sinewy, lean, and lyrical, with a tight band behind him.
		Consisting of recognizable Reed originals and a couple of other blues standards thrown in, the music comes off very well, mixing electric guitar with acoustic 12-string and Reed's harmonica substituting for the vocal parts.

		Reed rerecorded many of his early hits for ABC-Bluesway from the mid-Sixties into the Seventies, but the tracks included here are all the original Vee-Jay recordings from 1953 to 1963.
		Reed's own personal life must have been painfull to the point of him drinking himself to death at the early age of 50.

		James Mathis Reed nasce il 6 settembre 1925 a Dunleith, Mississippi, cresce in una piantagione dove il padre e la madre raccoglievano il cotone.
		Poco affidabile, spesso sotto l'effetto dell'alcool, di salute cagionevole, Jimmy Reed fù una maledizione per le case discografiche e per gli organizzatori di concerti, ma pochi negarono la creatività di un uomo che compose, cantò e suonò un Blues semplice e caldo, disteso e pieno di charme.
		Jimmy Reed ebbe una forte influenza non solo sui musicisti bianchi (Rolling Stones in primis) ma anche su molti artisti di colore.

	Jimmy Reed At Carnegie Hall: The Best Of Jimmy Reed by Jimmy Reed CD
		Interestingly, JIMMY REED AT CARNEGIE HALL is not a concert album (technical and contractual difficulties prevented taping the actual event), but a studio recreation of the Carnegie Hall set Reed and his band played several days before the recording.
		Abetted by guitarist "Lefty" Bates, drummer Earl Phillips, and Reed's wife, "Mama" (whose sweet backing vocals are an integral thread in the fabric of the music), Reed turns in a wonderful performance.
		The set is characterized by Reed's trademark muted, swampy sound, which would go on to influence a generation of young bluesmen and rockers.
