"I miss'n tail treasure for ya ol' lady, but I don' wanna...(huh, huh)" --or SOMETHIN' like that!

One of the best! 1962's Just Jimmy Reed should take top awards in the Wigged Out Hall of Fame. Side two is Jimmy live in the studio, with lots o' banter with the guys backing him up. At one point somebody introduces the term "yuckum!" into the American blues lexicon!

Great music throughout too. "Take It Slow", "I'll Change My Style", "Too Much", "In the Morning"--it's all good, as they say!

Everytime it gives me the shivers. Here he was a little "joyful", good for him, because a good bluesman must be that way, I say.

Dad introduced me to Jimmy as a child.  Appreciate the music even more as an adult. Thanks, for the upload!
