Album Notes & Community Reviews

Despite the rise of louder, amplified electric styles in Chicago, 'Just Jimmy Reed' finds the bluesman sticking reliably to his signature laid-back, infectious boogie groove. The album utilizes his trademark high-end harmonica squawking and slurred vocal delivery over a simple, hypnotic rhythm section. It stands as a testament to his massive, consistent commercial appeal within both R&B and crossover pop markets.
