Every day when the sun went down millions across the South would tune in to the blowtorch of the nighttime airwaves, WLAC 1510 AM Nashville, Tennessee to hear radio disc jockey John R. play those great old blues records. Takes me back to the late 1950s when high school and college kids, both black & white, were listening to Jimmy Reed and other greats of the time. Two of the competing sponsors on his show where Randy's Record shop and Ernie's Record shop. Both would have sales packages going on constantly, pitching their specials for the month. Of course there was no internet, so, those Clear Channel powerhouse radio stations ruled the entertainment media of the day. One of the big things among those kids was to turn their car radios up, and cruise around through the burger joints, so everone would hear them coming and going.
Agreed!!! Sorely underrated compared with other greats such Muddy Waters. Jimmy's take on blues has much more widespread appeal, and seems more soulful and melodic.
@@bluegtturbo Jimmy will never be classed as underrated to me, he is the greatest of them all. If I want to listen to the blues, there are few others I would rather listen to than the Big Boss Man, he is the blues.
I miss the record player and some of the peoples form my life but most of all my health and my youths theses songs remind me of those old blues clubs now this is stuff that bought you in too the club. That and if they had good food kinda like a.smoking barbecue pit the smell of the brisket and ribs sausage and chicken and the sweet barbecue sauce.
The very first time time I heard the blues it was Jimmy Reed singing Big Boss man in 1963 I was 13 then I'am 72 now. His music has been part of my life all these years.
So glad I found this! Brings back so many memories of the late '50s when we listened to him to get us in the mood for some down and dirty. Now I'm 80 and still love this music!!
My Grandfather played Blues Guitar and Harmonica. He was a Jimmy Reed Fan and made sure that I learned about various Blues Artists when I was 3 years old in 1960. Lightinin' Hopkins, John Lee Hooker and many more were always on the "Record Player" in them days. I learned how to play Blues Harp at 12 years old and never looked back. R.I.P. Grandad.
You are lucky, none of my nephews or nieces care. I grew up in the Free State, nothing but corn, cows and forgotten train tracks up there. I grew up lonely in one of those overly Christian homes where music was seen as evil. Thank god I found the blues after I left my mothers devouring gaze. The harmonica has saved my life over and over again. Jimmy Reed is awesome. Long live the blues.
My dad was a white teenager in California in the 1950s. He loved the blues and early rock ‘n’ roll. Doo-wop through Chuck Berry, little Richard, Fats Domino the list goes on and on.. when it came to the blues I think Jimmy Reed was his favorite. One of his prize album is Jimmy Reed at Carnegie Hall. He has hundreds of albums and 45’s from the 50’s . I didn’t always get along with the old man, but I think him all the time for my love of good music.
I was not able to make a instant comment to explain the vallue of this music . Its magic in whatever mood you are in. its indescribably. thank you Jimmy Reed
Oh my goodness take me back to NC! 1959 listening to him over the airwaves coming in on my radio from Memphis TN around 1:00am with radio by my bedside so thrilling couldn't sleep!!
Just read some reviews, new listener to Mr Reed, can't wait to discover all about him and I've got to get some vinyl of this guy! Yay Christmas gifts! I mean hey, Christmas gifts!
Randy's record shop Nashville, Tn. Wolfman Jack Del Rio, Tx. I recall those time as early as 1953 listening to the heavy bass beat of Jimmy Reed. The best of the blues!
this is the most jimmy REED song IVE heard any where alot of these songs I haven't even heard on the radio 📻 be 4 /years ago it sure was a different time when U could go and all of the old bluesman live on stage and the times changed when other people started listen 👂 2 this music 🎶 2 it was what they felt in there heart 😊❤ and soul and it was the real music 🎶 that spoke 2 them it sure is a different groove 4 me IVE been listening 👂 2 it ever since I was a kid it will always be a part of my heart 😊❤ and soul 😊😊🎉❤🎉❤/😊😊😊🎉❤😊 TLC/OMG 7 2 2O23
The first time I really heard Jimmy it was a flea mrkt.A guy had bootlegged a booth sized pile of cassette tapes and was rockin' the market with the tapes he was selling. That became the sound the house was rocking at our place.
It is always great to hear Jimmy - the "President Of The Blues"! Some of these cuts are alternate takes, Little Rain & Signals Of Love for instance, also Honey Where You Going. Every version of Honey, Where You Going that I can find on youtube is the same alternate take.. The single version is much better - more together. It was the other side of Little Rain. I know I am being picky just mentioning the alternate takes, but I am a Jimmy Reed fan since the mid 50's - have all the singles, etc. I couldn't have made it through my teenage years without JR.
First heard Jimmy Reed Music as a kid in the 60s and its always stayed with me. His music has so much feeling and grove that all the computer perfect music of today don't have in fact most of the older music has more feeling to me than most of the stuff from now days because its not perfect but has real human emotion instruments and Vocal.
Old music is still new too others every day you hear something old but its new too you because its the first time you or hearing it but it still sounds good something too pat your foot too then the rested of your body Fowler. And then you or doing something call dancing.
this was another Jimmy a true father of the electric blues guitar 🎸 this is JIMMY REED who could play the blues and could play the slow blues U could pat your feet and clap 👏 your hands 2 thank U JIMMY REED 😊😅🎉❤🎉😅/😊😊 😊😅❤😊😊 TLC/OMG 7 2 2O23
Copilot Jimmy Reed Explore Ah, I see what you did there! When you spell “boss” backward, you get “ssob.” 😄 And you’re absolutely right about Jimmy Reed! He’s a legendary blues musician known for his distinctive style. Reed hailed from the Mississippi Delta and later made his way to Chicago. His songs, like “Bright Lights, Big City,” “Baby What You Want Me to Do,” and “Big Boss Man,” have left an indelible mark on blues music. Interestingly, Chicago blues owes much to the Delta blues tradition, and Reed’s influence is felt in both. 🎸🎶 If you’re interested, you can check out some of Jimmy Reed’s classic blues tunes. Songs like “Ain’t That Lovin’ You Baby” and “You Don’t Have to Go” showcase his signature shuffle rhythm. It’s fascinating how artists like him shaped the blues landscape! 🎵🔵 1Listen to Jimmy Reed’s “Big Boss Man” 2Watch “Bright Lights, Big City” by Jimmy Reed 3Explore more of Jimmy Reed’s music
I Looked up when a Boss was first used. Then Spell Boss backward. Now you know why Jimmy Reed is the Man. And that's not from Chicago. Chicago Blues is a stepchild. It's Delta Blues,.Yes Sir, Mr Bossman. Bring a smile to my face every time.
J'ai connu cette musique , il n'y a pas si longtemps , j'ai tout de suite adoré Jimmy et le blues, et apprécié l'harmonica qui est interprété divinement .
Ann .no he didn't. We share a name.but he is good. Every time i think i have found the blues man i find one better. And right now he's the one. He's good.
@sydmccreath4554 Bonham and JPJ could do that too ..they could stretch that behind the beat thing at will.. but JPJ was more into Jamerson, and Bonzo wasnt really Al Jackson Jr.. what a pitty 😊 nevertheless, it worked so great for Zep
And other old classic rock artists like Eric Clapton from the UK. He has always been nuts for the blues, and has flown to Mississippi to attended the Delta Blues festival, to get his inspiration.
@@williamfulgham2010 what has that bore Clapton to do with THE WHO? NO ONE HAS DONE MORE DIS SERVICE TO THE BLUES THAN CLAPTON WITH HIS PHONEY PLASTIC VOICE MAKING A MOCKERY OF IT. AND ALWAYS BABBLING OFF ABOUT ROBERT JOHNSON AS IF THERE WERE NI OTHER AND BETTER BLUESMEN THAN JOHNSON.
I suppose "Take Out Some Insurance" was his first crossover hit, because it was the first Jimmy Reed recording I heard on Top 40 radio stations. I still have the Rocking With Reed album I bought that summer of 1959, and many others. My favorite? "Going By The River," parts 1 and 2.

My sentiment exactly, one and only Jimmy Reed
I have known a couple of Jimmy Reeds in my life. They just weren't as fun to listen to..
Gets no better thanJimmy Reed,this is the top!!!
Who Ever You Are!!!! If you been walking the planet a while......Know finer Blues Man Ever...Thank You.....
"I'm Going To Ruin You Baby!'
This is the first time that I heard this song and I thought that I had heard them all. This is "low down and dirty!"
The quality of the recording is outstanding ! Analog baby!
Unfortunately it's not analog to the door.. not to bad all the same.. not that my ears would be able to tell the difference now.
I miss the record player and some of the peoples form my life but most of all my health and my youths theses songs remind me of those old blues clubs now this is stuff that bought you in too the club. That and if they had good food kinda like a.smoking barbecue pit the smell of the brisket and ribs sausage and chicken and the sweet barbecue sauce.
Certainly belongs in the pantheon.
Holy shit! What an incredible upload. Thank you so much. Beautiful man. Well done!
My dad turned me onto Mr jimmy reed when I was a kid 1970 and I thanked him for it just last week 😊💚☮️
May father did the exact same thing 😊,
@@CaijSix.0 right on. Thank God for our dads👍🏻✌🏼
This is 24 carat gold! Thank you so much!
It's late November, 2023, I'm a first time listener. I love the blues but don't have much in my collection.
I'm Hooked! U Hooked another one Mr Reed!
If you like Jimmy Reed you should some Lightnin' Hopkins to listen to. You won't regret it.
I like this cause I can hear the guitar work . classic harp , too .
I'm an old man that plays along and hopes I hit the right note .
Hope you are hitting it right in tune!
Jimmy Reed !! .... Oh yah !!
The very first time time I heard the blues it was Jimmy Reed singing Big Boss man in 1963 I was 13 then I'am 72 now. His music has been part of my life all these years.
Me too! Jimmy Reed's music inspired me to become a musician later in life. Back in 1963 everyone was listening to the Beatles.
Thanks for this absolute gift,
Gary Stewart the great country singer brought me here
Greatest of all time
So glad I found this! Brings back so many memories of the late '50s when we listened to him to get us in the mood for some down and dirty. Now I'm 80 and still love this music!!
