One of the first American Blues musicians and songwriters to reach a wider, mainstream audience, Jimmy Reed was a major innovator in the electric blues pantheon. His songs have been covered by the Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Grateful Dead, Elvis Presley, Etta James and Johnny Winter - the list goes on and on. These rare, late 60's sessions capture the blues king at his best. Newly remastered.

Probably the most successful R&B crossover artist of the 1950's, bluesman Jimmy Reed's hypnotic guitar patterns, wailing harmonica and laid back singing style attracted a more mainstream audience than previous blues greats. One of the first electric blues artists, Reed was a main inspiration for early rock n' rollers and influenced a wide range of artists from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones. Presented here is Reed's vintage holiday favorite, the classic InchChristmas Present Blues,Inch newly re-mastered.
