Lil' Jimmy Reed plays 'Honest I Do' exclusively in session for The Blues Kitchen.
Still playing and touring the World, Li’l Jimmy Reed is the last of the original Louisiana bluesmen.
At 80, Leon Atkins, better known as Lil’ Jimmy Reed, is the real deal, as will be attested to by anyone who has been privileged to hear his stinging guitar work, gritty vocals and haunting harmonica. A tall charismatic figure, Lil’ Jimmy epitomises the classic Louisiana down-home blues tradition. Born in the late nineteen-thirties in a shot-gun shack in Hardwood, LA, a small cotton and sawmill town on the Mississippi River, Leon grew up near a club where every night he absorbed the wail of the blues from across the street. At six he had his own guitar, made from a cigar box, and by the time he was a teenager he was proficient on both guitar and harmonica, playing local clubs around Baton Rouge. Filling-in one night for blues star Jimmy Reed earned him the sobriquet Lil’ Jimmy Reed and started him on the long path to success.

Jimmy Reed - Still sounds good! Age never interferes with a true singer’s voice/vocals!
Leon Atkins was born in Hardwood, Louisiana in July 14, 1938 and started playing guitar and harmonica at an early age. He had a lucky break one night at an upscale blues club. The famous blues artist Jimmy Reed was scheduled to perform that evening. Atkins knew Jimmy Reed’s music well from childhood, listening to jukebox music from a nearby nightclub. He had always wanted to see the real Jimmy Reed and thought he’d finally get the chance. Instead, Leon was asked to take Jimmy Reed’s place! As he recalls, Mr. Reed had obviously gotten drunk. “They snuck him out back and came and got me,” Leon remembers clearly. “Mr. Reed was just too drunk to play.” The crowd couldn’t tell the difference, and the show was a hit. Leon gave a show-stopping performance, and thus was born “Lil’ Jimmy Reed.”
I love this song, Honest I do....my dad always play guitar and my mom play harmonica... when i am toddler, cry and fussy ...they told me....once again i love this song
The Rolling Stones covered this song too,,from first albums as titled as just The Rolling Stones or Englands new hitmakers both released in 1964, the latter a US release a long with a few other treats from other great blues artists influences. If you not heard early Stones records then go check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful sound... Is that guitar a BB King Lucille signature?
PRETENDER IS A FAKE ONLY USING NAME NO RELATION TO THE REAL JIMMY REED
Many bluesmen of that era, got their names from other artist as a way to spotlight or launch their career. Some were great others were posers!.
No way i can listen awful
