Album artwork for Jimmy Reed Rocks by Jimmy Reed

Bear Family Records is the first label to compile Jimmy Reed's up-tempo sides on one CD. This CD includes all his big hits like Big Boss Man, Bright Lights Big City, I Ain't Got You, Shame, Shame, Shame, etc. Jimmy Reed was an important part of the rock & roll era, his music rocks in the original sense. John Peel once summed it up, "It's all such great music to funk to". One of the great admirers of Jimmy Reed and Eddie Taylor, Texas blues guitarist Jimmy Vaughan, wrote the exclusive foreword to this Rocks CD! Vaughan repeatedly underscores the importance of the musicians in his interviews and through recordings of songs by the two. The booklet features rarely seen photos of Reed and Taylor, scans of original label artwork, and an essay by Reed fan Roland Heinrich Rumtreiber.
