  • Thanks for posting this video. Theinboil. I agree with you man, 100

  • these guys got it

  • Cool

  • Whos the guy with the rough voice singing?

  • @samesatan

    Doesn't look like anyone ever answered your question; that's Omar Kent Dykes.

    He sounds a lot like Howlin' Wolf.

  • @Stratomite Thanks alot. He is cerntanly awesome.

  • Love it. I don't agree with the critics on the voice or the way it is sang. It is more like Howlin wolf style, so what...still good. Thx for posting

  • I needed a Big Boss Man fix and you guys just gave it to me. Thanks you sound great up here in Boston. Dig your Harp.

  • so good

  • I just covered this song on my martin acoustic guitar I ivite all blues fans to come have a listen Let me know what you think of it thanks.

  • You got that one - I am fan and I have a 33 1/3 one of Jimmy Reeds orginal long play records. That album is a classic and very valuable. 

  • Hey Phillip; Can't thank you enough for posting your Granddad's music. Grandson of Jimmy Reed-that's so neat ! Jimmy's got a huge fan base spread from Alaska to Tazmania and all parts in between. Really appreciate your efforts to share with us. A little bit of Jimmy Reed goes a long long way !!

  • i have all of jr lp's even though my son burned them on cd's for me ---i still cant get rid of the old big lp's i used to play

  • ""GreattttSongggg"

  • this guys voice reminds me of edna in hairspray.. i LOVE jimmy..... but.. this is hilarious to me..... :S

  • I was there in the audience, this was a great show. Jimmy and Omar also did a show on KLRU which is fantastic

  • @phillip Reed, do you play?

    Drums, guitar or anything?

  • Well -you can't beat Jimmy Reed!

  • Hey guys. It is great to see your love for my grand-dads music. I'm Phillip Reed, Jimmy Reed Jr's son. Excellent video!!

  • Hey Phillip... Drop me aline and I'll kick you the entire show of "Jimmy Reed Highway"on DVD. I love your Grand Father !!!! One of the great great blues voices!

  • @Wharfomatic It's so great to know there are OTHERS that love Jimmy Reed

  • There is one and only Jimmy Reed

  • @wgodproductions I am a HUGE fan of Jimmy Reed. I'm from Ft. Worth, TX. I've been told that he used to play a lot of gigs on Jacksboro, hwy back in the '50's...Another rumor is ---- that Delbert McClinton learned how to play harmonica from your grandpa.... Have you ever heard THAT one....? W'Dan

  • @wgodproductions man, your grand dads music is beyond words. his sound has inspired me like you couldnt imagine, and im just a white kid from Long Island! Do you have memories of him?

  • @wgodproductions I just got finished reading the bio on your grandad,"Big Boss Man"..I went to the flea market the next dauy and lucked into a couple nice vinyl records....thgis is the stuff. I think the Rolling Stones owe you guys some royalties! They do mention how much of an influence they are, but that rythm! It is intoxicating and I am using it to great effect as well. Hope you and the family are well, God Bless!.

  • who knew Omar could play the harp? He's a kick-ass guitarist, but the harp? Way to go Omar. Jimmy is great as usual.

  • wow nice blues love it greetz from holland

  • Omar Kent on vocals

  • Good cover, boys...

  • Your Big Boss Man is OK, But you see Mr. Reed sings his and you talk your's,,,

  • Amazing! What I would have given to be there!!!!
