Our of obscurity, having disappeared from the Blues scene for almost five years, Comes the Truss Boss Man of the Blues.  The authentic ambassador of the Delta Blues, since the early 1950's, Jimmy Reed's music rose to National Fame in the R&B Market, and crossed over into Country and Pop Markets.

Just a little snippet of what the back reads about such a talented musician as Jimmy Reed.  Enjoying the his style of blues shows that even after he fell off the map, once he came back, he was still in tune what what he felt was real.  A good surprise in listening to this album is the harmonica.  It's not too often, or maybe I haven't heard many blues albums lately, but it was soothing listening to the harmonica as he belted out each song.  A great record to calm my mood after a very energetic and active day.

Enjoy!
