Hush, hush
Baby don’t believe a word
Hush, hush
Honey don’t believe a word
Well, you don’t know nothin'
But believe everything you heard
Hush, hush
Yakky? yak' all the time
Hush, hush
Yakky? yak' all the time
Well, if you don’t stop yakkin'
You’re goin' to drive me out of my mind
Hush, hush
Didn’t hear a word you said
Hush, hush
Didn’t hear a word you said
If you don’t stop talkin'
I’m gonna leave and I’m mighty 'fraid
Hush, hush
Hush, hush
Hush, hush
Hush, hush
Take these 6 thumbs downers - lock them in a soundproof cell for 48 hours with irremovable headphones plugged into Kenny G. They obviously got here by mistake - though why they stayed long enough to register their disapproval is a mystery. Jimmy Reed is the undisputed boss of the slow blues shuffle. You either love him or hate him but no-one ever came close on this kind of shit. As for comparisons with Little Walter - they are completely irrelevant! They were both masters in their own styles. Enjoy them both. Walter for his melodic inventiveness & fluidity & Jimmy for his sleazy laid back approach. I hate this "who was the best" shit. It's meaningless! Both were brilliant in their own styles. They each had their own voice!
I can see who Elvis got some of his blues and rock music from and if it was not for these older black blues players like Jimmy reed and Chuck berry and others to long to name them all but we would not have had Elvis and others.
My husband intoduced me to Jimmy Reed twenty years ago and I've been listening to him ever since. My husband passed away from a tragic accident 5 months ago but jms music reminds me of him so much. RiP Carlos
In a class by himself. Immediately recognizable Jimmy Reed's guitar riffs and harp solos have laid the groundwork for a thousand tunes and a hundred bands. Long live Jimmy Reed!krxn11
