Description
Collector's Limited Edition 6-panel digipak, includes booklet with vintage and up-to-date liner notes. Includes 2 Jimmy Reed albums on 1CD (At Carnegie Hall + Found Love) + 6 bonus tracks.
There's simply no sound in the blues as instantly recognizable, and as easy to play and sing as the music of the great Jimmy Reed. He is one of the bestselling bluesmen of all time. With his laid-back, slurred singing style stretched over a lazy, easy boogie rhythm, and punctuated by short runs on his racked harmonica, Reed brought a kind of hushed, unhurried urgency to everything he recorded. This essential CD features two of his classic albums from the early 1960s: the long unavailable masterpiece Jimmy Reed at Carnegie Hall (which despite its title was actually recorded in the studio) and the equally splendid Found Love. Both albums have been remastered and packaged together in this special collector's edition, which also contains 6 bonus tracks from the same period.
Jimmy Reed - voacals, lead guitar & harmonica; William 'Lefty' Bates, Eddie Taylor, Lee Baker - guitars; Willie Dixon, Curtis Mayfield - bass; Earl Philips - drums; Mary Reed - backing vocals. Recorded between 1955 and 1961
