JIMMY REED HONEST I DO

[MegaTDelgado]

This song brings back memories of my husband kicking back in his garage next to his 48 Chevy Fleetline having a beer and listening to his Blues Music and Jimmy Reed was his favorite RIP Babe (Sonny)1951-2009 I miss him soooooo Much!

[MarkAllenChannel]

[dietcoke550]

shaaaa! anyone from orange county knows dis is real gangster shit!

[MrBluesrules]

This guy was a huge inspiration to the gorgeous Angela Strehli, who paid tribute to him and all the great Bluesers on "Blue on Blonde". a song called "Two Bit Texas Town" Which all you fine folks of discriminating taste are well aware of. Blues to you all!

Long Live the music of Jimmy Reed ! When I was 12yrs old, my late father would bring out all of his blues records and 8-track tapes; and he'd rave about Jimmy Reed ! I have learned so much about the history of the blues from my father; and even though he's passed on in 1991, I still get weepy eyed especially when I hear this particular song ! Thanks Pops ! 5/8/91

[canyoncitychubs]

BritoBJ21 - I hoist one in honor of your Dad, one of the greatest blues songs of all time

[girlwonder614]

I can remember laying the bed and listening to my dad play this all hours of the night til he fell asleep! This song has been embedded in my mind, and I love it!

[dashikidog]

Goooood Stuff . . .

[paulboysj9]

Jimmy Reed is Bad Ass! My Uncle Ralph use to play him all the time when he was drinking and having a good time. That's how I was introduced to Jimmy Reed and I'm only 36. Every time I hear Jimmy Reed it reminds me of my Uncle. R.I.P. Uncle Ralph.

[darlene1029]

Jimmy Reed never gets old with me,

Thank you oldschoolen1 for sharing

[jjkcharlie]

"Pleae tell me you love me. Stop driving me Mad.

Your the sweetest little thing, That I've ever had....".

Jimmy Reed, "Honest I Do".

[dec2034]

oh man, this is it!

[sandy4andy]

I seen this one video of the Beatles singing

A Jimmy reed song! I think it was baby what you want me to do.

[fitchett85]

Sounds like some artists after him sung like him, sort of played like him, & all that is proof that this black man here singing the blues is FUCKING awesome & classical at its best!! LOVE THEM BLUES!

[johnwc69]

Thanks for posting this song.

[1ED2DD]

Oh yes, i used to listen to him all the time in the sixtys, he would sit and play the guitar, drums and harmonica all at the same time.

[tomilard]

tune sounds like "send me some lovin"

sung by little richard, nice all the same.

[9mej]

he was the master of of making a blues track almost sound like a reggae track but still true to the real colours of the blues because if you notice the track played just know sounds verry reggae

[MrsDiamondears]

Dig that slow blues shuffle

[loitalove2009]

CANT STAND THE MUSIC TO DAY

[loitalove2009]

JUST LOVE JIMMIY REED

[GoodGoogallyMoogally]

Jimmy is one of the world's greatest blues musician. He does it the old fashioned way. You go Jimmy.

[GoodGoogallyMoogally]

Great Blues song. It brings back such wonderful memories.  You go Jimmy. This is how the blues should sound.

[saucie17]

Jimmy was original... I love his blues and his harmonica playing.

[loitalove2009]

omg i love jimmy reed I USE TO LISTEN TO THIS ALL TIME ALL TIME

[mmmsikim]

I FEEL the song big time...

[MuddyFlood]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh me favorite JR tune. Love the way the drummer nails that crash!!!

[2009framat]

"I'm the man down there" is an answer song from Jimmy Reed to G.L. Crockett's "It's a man down there". Crockett (1929-1967) had another hit "look out Mabel". By the way "It's a man down there" was an answer song to Sonny boy Williamson's "one way out". I made a little animated film called "24 bars for Jimmy Reed". If you like to see it then just click on my name. I would appreciated if you leave a comment.

Bye

[dazedgurl83]

♥•this is one of my all time faves♥•

[sotathug941]

damn my pops luv this dude... this is real music at its best//

[beewheel]

And the song titled " there's a man down there, maybe yo man How do I know?" not sure if that's Jimmy Reed but I love that one too. You tube and I-tunes have some good songs to recaptured but not enough, really there's a ton that's missing that's so great from all old Blues and Soul that I'd love to purchase off I-tunes

[guitarandharp]

Hi beewheel.

The song which you quote is by G.l.Crockett, 'It's A Man Down There'. It's not easy to find on CD. British bluesman Duster Bennett covered it for his first single on Blue Horizon, a great version.

I love this Jimmy Reed record - what a feel, what a groove. Fantastic! Thanks for posting it.

Best wishes to all Blues fans.

[beewheel]

Does anyone have his tune "Take out some insurance on me baby" ? That's the best song he's made and " Boom, Boom, Boom". This song is my 3rd best by him, I miss my mother and grandmother playing the blues all the time back when 8-tracks and albums were the norm

[reissue]

Amazing song, Jimmy was the man.

[nativelesbian]

this song reminds me of my parents in their drinking days, dancing to this "honest i do"memories im not fond of, but love jimmy reed blues music.

[peagravel]
