Jimmy Reed • The Anthology 2CD

Jimmy Reed was one of the most important Blues artists of the 1950s, developing a distinctive sound built around his relaxed vocal delivery, hypnotic guitar rhythms and instantly recognisable harmonica. His deceptively simple recordings became hugely influential, helping to shape the sound of Chicago Blues while also providing a crucial link between Blues, Rhythm & Blues and early Rock 'n' Roll.

This superb 54-track double CD anthology brings together many of Jimmy Reed's best-known recordings alongside a wealth of lesser-known gems. Classics including Honest I Do, Ain't That Lovin' You Baby, Baby What You Want Me To Do, Bright Lights Big City, Big Boss Man and You Don't Have To Go demonstrate the unmistakable style that made Reed one of the biggest Blues stars of his generation.

From the laid-back groove of Honest I Do to the driving rhythm of Big Boss Man, these recordings showcase the remarkable consistency of Jimmy Reed's work during the golden age of Chicago Blues. An essential collection for fans of Jimmy Reed, classic Blues, Rhythm & Blues and the music that helped lay the foundations for Rock 'n' Roll.
