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.

A not well written Biogarphy.
This book goes into detail about most of Jimmy's songs. But for a biography it is not well written. I know it is hard to research and get information about a person after they are dead. But this book constantly repeats it's self on every other page about Jimmy's alcholism...
