Jimmy Reed - The Vee-Jay Years Disc 5 & 6 (Disc 6 special outtakes)


The final two discs,numbers 5 & 6 and one
of the
greatest blues songwriters ever.He actually
blurs the line between old fashioned blues

(Southern Delta style transplanted to Chicago
urban blues)
and rhythm & blues.He sets the
standard when he
sang Bright Lights,Big City.
Reed's guitar playing,
singing and songwriting (a triple threat)
inspired
a lot of the earliest The Rolling Stones,The Animals,
and
countless other British Invasion bands,
and
reminded Americans how important their
blues
artists were and still are.What a wealth of
music,made in America.

Jimmy Reed - The Vee-Jay Years Disc 1 & 2





Here I am again,after taking some much needed time off
from blogging,doing other things.
I found another vital box
of music in my collection that needs to be heard. This
particular set is 6 discs with 139 tracks of happening
music. I hope to bring more of this kind of music later,
I also have some Little Walter,John Lee Hooker, and
Earl Hooker(John Lee's cousin),some Skip James discs,
I don't know what else,but if you like that kind of stuff,
you'd better stayed tuned. I'm on a blues kick, and have
been for a while, and maybe I will go back to posting
rockabilly and other things in the future. I'm just into this
right now....okay? Jimmy Reed The Vee-Jay Years
is another Charley series box set, so if you understand
what that means it's a giant set,sounds better than anything,
and it's as complete as you're going to set. "Charley
NEVER releases any crap" is what I say,and you can
quote me. This is where it's at, hipsters,there's a lot of
bands who covered Jimmy Reed,and when you listen to
this set you will know why.
Here's Disc One:
1.High And Lonesome 2.Jimmy's Boogie 3.I Found My Baby
4.Roll And Rhumba 5.You Don't Have To Go
6.Boogie In The Park 7.Shoot My Baby 8.Rockin' With Reed
9.You Upset My Mind 10.I'm Gonna Ruin You
11. Pretty Thing 12.I Ain't Got You
13.She Don't Want Me No More 14.Come On Baby
15.I Don't Go For That 16.Baby,Don't Say That No More
17.Ain't That Lovin' You Baby 18.Can't Stand To See You Go
19.When You Left Me 20.I Love You Baby 21.My First Plea
