Big Boss Man : The Life and Music of Bluesman Jimmy Reed
book by Will Romano

Jimmy Reed overcame his alcoholic and epilepcy to become perhaps the most successful R&B artist of the 1950s with songs like Big Boss Man and Bright Lights Big City.
Musicians family members and those whose lives Reed touched offer revealing and heart-wrenching insights into this now-revered bluesman.
While Reed's alcoholism was no secret its effect on his musicianship is less understood.
This engaging book tells the real story that until now has not been told.
