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.

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 22.You Got Me Dizzy 23.Honey,Don't Let Me Go 24.Untitled Instrumental This all includes scans of front,back @320
