Jimmy Reed was an American blues musician and songwriter, born on September 6, 1925 in Dunleith, Mississippi. He is known for his influential contributions to the blues genre. Reed sadly passed away on August 29, 1976 in Oakland, California. His talent and impact were recognized when he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as a performer in 1991.

Reed's musical style often captivated listeners with its unique blend of rhythm and soulful lyrics. While he is sometimes miscredited for writing "Big Boss Man," it is important to note that this song was actually written by Al Smith and Luther Dixon.

Some artists who share similar styles or influences with Jimmy Reed include Magic Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Memphis Slim, Elmore James, Lightnin' Hopkins, Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Willie Dixon, Slim Harpo, Junior Wells,
Earl Hooker,
Otis Rush,
J.B. Lenoir,
Otis Spann,
Hound Dog Taylor,
T-Bone Walker,
Robert Lockwood Jr.,
Big Walter Horton,
Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup,
and Koko Taylor.

With his simple, accessible sound and signature laid-back style, Jimmy Reed was just about the most commercially successful Blues artist in the USA during the 50s and 60s and was also a hugely influential figure on the emerging European and American Blues Boom of the early 60s, notably the Rolling Stones. The companion to an earlier Jasmine release 'Ain't That Loving You Baby - Singles, As &amp; Bs 1953-61', this unique set is largely drawn from Reed's Vee Jay LP's, Rockin' With Reed, Found Love, Now Appearing, Jimmy Reed At Carnegie Hall and Blues Is My Business. A number of these sides were unissued at the time they were recorded, and later turned up on Charly compilations. Although there are no actual hits herein, this is all classic, vintage Jimmy Reed repertoire and many of these sides would have made it, had they been issued as singles.
