Our Take

Jimmy Reed's "Rockin With Reed (Limited Edition)" is a raucous romp through the blues legend's signature sound, with six bonus tracks added for good measure. Reed's gravelly vocals and soulful harmonica playing are on top form, transporting listeners back to the heyday of Chicago blues.

The album kicks off with the foot-stomping "Honey, Don't Let Me Go", a catchy tune that sets the tone for what's to come. Reed's distinctive guitar work shines throughout, showcasing his mastery of the genre. Tracks like "You Got Me Dizzy" and "Hush, Hush" are irresistibly funky, guaranteed to get your hips swaying in no time.

But it's not all about the groove – Reed's heartfelt lyrics delve into themes of love, heartbreak, and redemption, adding a layer of depth to the toe-tapping tunes. The bonus tracks, including the rollicking "Roll and Rhumba", are a welcome addition, showcasing Reed's versatility and range.

In typical Pitchfork fashion, we couldn't resist giving "Rockin With Reed" a solid 8/10 rating. With its infectious energy and timeless charm, this limited edition reissue is a must-have for any blues aficionado. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to rock with Reed – you won't be disappointed.
