This quintessential LP edition includes Reed’s sensational second album, Rockin’ with Reed, originally released by the Vee-Jay label in 1959, and long unavailable on vinyl. It was recorded at the same sessions that yielded Reed’s debut album, I’m Jimmy Reed (issued the previous year). Highlights include “Going to New York,” “A String to Your Heart,” “I Know It’s a Sin,” “The Moon Is Rising,” and, of course, the outstanding title track. Reed’s sense of humor comes through on “Take Out Some Insurance,” while the instrumentals “Ends & Odds” and “My Bitter Seed” are indicative of the outstanding musicianship heard throughout the album. The sound is a little more consistent here than it was on his first album, as guitarist Eddie Taylor and drummer Earl Palmer are featured
with Reed on most of the LP’s tracks.

In addition to the original masterpiece, this WaxTime collector’s item contains 2 bonus tracks from the same period: the great “Bright Lights, Big City,” and “Hush Hush.”
