BIG BOSS MAN THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF BLUESMAN JIMMY REED
Alcoholic. Epileptic. Technically challenged. Jimmy Reed nevertheless overcame these roadblocks to become perhaps the most successful R&B/pop cross-over artist of the '50s with songs like Big Boss Man and Bright Lights Big City. Musicians family members and those whose lives Reed touched offer revealing and heart-wrenching insights into this now-revered bluesman. While Reed's alcoholism was no secret its effect on his musicianship is less understood. This engaging book tells the real story that until now has not been told.
