@lavatolosmanos According to the liner notes of his greatest hit record that "gal" was his wife.

@cliffworks4321 The guitars aren't 'horribly out of tune'.

@lavatolosmanos I'm not sure who she was, I remember he had a white chaffure, unusual at the time, and a beautiful blond guitar.

@lavatolosmanos Wow! Do you think that was Jimmy's wife who fed him the lines to the song? I had read before that his wife did that for him at concerts. I think he dealt with alcoholism.

I've heard that Jimmy Reed got so drunk because he was so shy of playing in front of people.

LAVA : That GAL sitting behind him was his lovely wife "MAMA" Reed. She and Jimmy loved each other dearly. She had to tell him the lyrics to his songs because he was normally to drunk to remember them. MAMA Reed. Give her Props.

In spite of the guitars being horribly out of tune, his epilepsy and illiteracy Jimmy sang spot on pitch and had perfect laid back timing, where are all the other videos of him that must exist? thanks

I grew up listening to this in Arkansas fishing and hunting. An old guy that did yard work around magnolia got me hooked on blues with Jimmy,

I've heard of Jimmy Reed before... But never seen a picture or video of him... I really thought he was the first white bluesman... He just sounded different. |
