Jimmy Reed was a Mississippi boy who went up north when he was about 20 years old, first playin in the streets of Chicago, and later across the state line in Gary, Indiana. Jimmy played both harp and gittar and influenced his self a lotta peoples, too. Among the hundreds of artists who have recorded Reed’s songs are Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones, Ike & Tina Turner, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Everly Brothers, and Aretha Franklin. Couple of his classics, here: "Baby, whatcha wants me to do," and "Big Boss Man," which I kinda included as a tribute to the mods here, ya know? Jimi Hendrix backed up Jimmy Reed as a sideman for a spell. That right there, all by it's own damn self, tells ya that Jimmy, he ROCKS, eh!?

Don't start me to talkin...I'll tell everything I know!
This is actually the second (but more better known, these here days) harp player who called his self Sonny Boy Williamson (the first was John Lee Williamson, who done the classic "Hoodoo Man").
Born Aleck Ford around 1900, he later adopted the last name of Miller, and was known as "Rice," because he was kinda partial to chinese wimminz. He ran with Robert Johnson, Howlin Wolf, Elmore James, Big Joe Williamson and other bluesmen around the Mississippi Delta back in the '30s. Wolf married his sister, so they bruthaz in law, ya know. Got well known hostin the King Biscuit Flour Hour radio show in Helena, Arkansas, and was still doing that show when in died in 1965. Sonny Boy, he ROCKS, eh!?
