BIG BOSS MAN contains 10 previously released albums: I'M JIMMY REED (1959); ROCKIN' WITH REED (1959); FOUND LOVE (1971); NOW APPEARING (1966); AT SOUL CITY (1964); BLUES IS MY BUSINESS (1976); THE LEGEND: THE MAN (1965); JUST JIMMY REED (1962); T'AINT NO BIG THING (1968); THE BEST OF THE BLUES (1963). Personnel: Jimmy Reed Jr. (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Lefty Bates (guitar); Al Duncan (drums). Liner Note Authors: Jacques Demetre; Pete Welding; Sid McCoy; Bill Dahl. There is no denying that the classic Jimmy Reed sides cut for Vee Jay Records are a must-have. Realistically though, as amazing as this material is, the Jimmy Reed Big Boss Man [Box Set] is for rabid Reed fanatics. While Collectables did an admirable job on this limited-edition ten-CD set, ten CDs of Reed can get repetitive. Most listeners will be happy with the single Rhino disc, Blues Masters: The Very Best of Jimmy Reed. If you want more material, Collectables has released the original Reed albums that make up the box set (original cover art and all) separately, some as two-fers. No matter what, its great to have such quality material from Jimmy Reed easily available. ~ Al Campbell
