I can't believe that I have never posted any music by Jimmy Reed before now, even though he is on my list of Top 10 harmonica players. He is another bluesman of historic importance in that he had more hit records then many other more popular bluesmen of his time.
He also had a profound effect on many other musicians, The Rolling Stone, Elvis, The Grateful Dead and many other musicians have played his songs and been inspired by his music.
Check out this very delightful video of Jimmy Reed playing on a Houston TV station. The video is very poor quality, but it is the only video of Jimmy Reed that I have been able to find.
