Not to be confused with Big Boss Man, a stunning collection of his 1964 Groove recordings, this 1970 reissue finds Rich in a relatively subdued mood. While this record may not match up to his best work, the man simply oozes talent out of every pore and even his lesser efforts contain moments of brilliance. Rich originals such as the sensitive "I Can't Even Drink It Away," a straight-up, honky-tonk bottle song, and the gritty, rollicking "Memphis and Arkansas Bridge" hit the mark, as does his reading of Conway Twitty's "Hello Darlin'" and producer Billy Sherrill's pledge-of-fidelity "I Do My Swingin' at Home." Not an essential Rich title, but quite an appealing release nonetheless. --Marc Greilsamer

5 out of 5 stars That Harmonica brings back memories from the 1950s.......2007-03-20

Jimmy Reed is the first blues artist I ever heard. When I heard this cat playin on the A.M. dial (man there was no F.M. then) and I heard "Hush, Hush," "Big Boss Man," and "Bright Lights, Big City," I was hooked on the blues forever. Harmonica and Jimmy Reed are synomymous in my opinion. In this compilation he plays a lot but when he gets down on "The Sun Is Shining," Let's Get It Together," "Ain't That Loving You Baby," the three I mentioned above and many others, I close my eyes and am young again. I am a BIG Jimmy Reed fan..buy this one and I think you will be also be a BIG fan of Jimmy "Harmonica" Reed.

2 out of 5 stars Caution: Mistake.......2006-10-03

I got this CD specifically for the song "I'm Going Upside Your Head", which is listed as track #15 on CD 2. This song by Jimmy Reed is hard to find except on multi-disc boxes, which are generally more JR than anyone needs, since JR's sound and songs really do become quite repetitive from one track to another. Only problem is that track #15 on CD 2 is NOT "I'm Going Upside Your Head" -- it's something else, not very good. A major disappointment! The rest of the 2 CDs are as listed, and do include most of JR's best known numbers. So if you don't particularly mind not having "I'm Going Upside Your Head", this collection is really pretty good (4 stars). Again, if you don't mind not having the song mentioned here, the single disc collection on Rhino ("Blues Masters: The Very Best of Jimmy Reed") is really your best bet (5 stars).

5 out of 5 stars Jimmy Reed "Boss Man".......2006-07-01

Took my way back to a happier time. Jimmy Reed just as I remembered him.

5 out of 5 stars Boss Man: Best of Jimmy Reed.......2005-07-26

I had tried for years to find a Jimmy Reed CD. He was one of my favorite blues artists in the 50's. My favorite was "Ain't That Lovin You Baby" which is on this album along with many other great songs.

I have just about worn it out already.

5 out of 5 stars A Significant Man of the Blues--How Did He Manage?.......2004-11-24

When white folks used to say that they couldn't understand the words of a blues song, they might well have been talking about Mathis James Reed born in the 1920s in Mississippi. Also Jimmy Reed did not have nearly the musical ability on the tools of the trade, guitar and harmonica, that his contemporaries had. And he suffered from epilepsy but was such an unabashed drunk that his malady was not diagnosed for years as he seemed just to have the predictable "DTs"(delirium tremens) from his excessive use of alcohol. It's said that his friend and collaborator Eddie "Playboy" Taylor used to nudge him when it was time for him to sing or to play his blues harp. Reed's own wife ("Mama Reed") can be heard singing along with him on some recordings as he would often forget the words. So how did he put a dozen or more songs on the Top 100 (more than any of the other arguably more talented bluesmen of the time?) Simple beats, easy-to-remember words and it was clearly the heartfelt blues. His "Big Boss Man" is a classic and was appropriated successfully by Charlie Rich to the point it was almost Rich's theme song. "Bright Lights, Big City" was another heartfelt tune. Elvis Presley recorded Jimmy's "Ain't That Lovin' You, Baby" as well as others. More good ones by JR include "Baby, What You Want Me to Do?" and "Take Out Some Insurance". They are all included in this package. Pay the fair price for those named tunes and the rest is gravy, a kind of "easy listening" blues. You won't think it's anybody but Jimmy Reed. "Mama Reed" was still with him when he died in 1976 in his early 50s. This is his legacy.

Album Description

No American band has rocked harder and longer than the Kentucky Headhunters. No catalog overflows with more great roots, rock, and country songs than Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Which makes Big Boss Man, a collection of Sony/ATV masterworks by the Grammy-, Country Music Association-, and Academy of Country Music-award winning Kentucky Headhunters, an event worth celebration.

With a street date of June 21, Big Boss Man will please all who appreciate bands and songs with true staying power. More to the point, the twelve titles on Big Boss Man offer a textbook lesson in how five soulful musicians--brothers Richard (guitarist) and Fred (drummer) Young, their cousins Greg Martin (guitar) and Anthony Kenney (bass/vocals), plus lead singer Doug Phelps--can find something fresh in material that's been around the block more than once.

Sometimes it takes just one simple detail, like the addition of a nonstop, slamming backbeat through the stop-time breaks of "I'm Down." Sometimes it involves a shift from major to minor key, which casts an ominous shadow over "Walkin' After Midnight" and "Take These Chains from My Heart." It can also be about revamping the honky-tonk groove, adding some saloon piano courtesy of blues/rock legend Reese Wynans, and blowing it all up into an almost comic swagger, as they do on Hank Williams's "Hey Good Lookin'."

Or it can lead to a radical, top-to-bottom rearrangement, as in their treatment of "Like a Rolling Stone"--which, against all odds, uncovers something in the song that even Bob Dylan left untouched.

The point is that the Kentucky Headhunters, who have defied categorization yet still sold more than six million albums worldwide, beat the odds once again, this time by pumping high-octane energy into songs we all know and making us connect with them once again, in brand new ways.

The idea for this project comes from Tom Long of Sony/ATV Music Publishing Nashville and Tree Productions, who has been working closely with the band since he first heard them perform in 1976 at a county fair in Edmonton, Kentucky, next to a stockcar track. ("They were actually louder than the stockcars," Long recalls, laughing. "I was impressed.") After managing the band for a few years they eventually landed in Nashville, where hard work and keeping the faith led them to a record deal and, on their debut album Pickin' on Nashville, their first hit single, a cover of Bill Monroe's "Walk Softly on This Heart of Mine."

Their sound, which they'd cultivated since they'd come together in 1968, was a unique blend of traditional country and Southern rock & roll. Armed with talent, bound by family ties, and driven by raw, good-ole-boy attitude, they've developed that feel through the years, to the point that no other band is better equipped to interpret the Sony/ATV repertoire.

"So I sent them a compilation of about 2,500 songs from our pop catalog, our country catalog, and the Acuff/Rose catalog, which we acquired a few years ago," Long says. "And I left it up to them to select the 15 or 16 songs they felt most excited about doing."

"I knew it would be a great project," adds Richard Young, "but I gotta tell you, when I went to pick up the boxes of CDs Tom had sent us I was a little overwhelmed. It wasn't easy for us to narrow them down, since so many of these songs affected our lives. But in the end, after we had listened to every CD in those boxes, we did come up with a final list, based on trying to present a broad spectrum of music since our audience includes fans of country, rock & roll, blues, and even a jazzer or two."

Working in the same practice house they've kept in Edmonton since the seventies, the band woodshedded on their final selections. Meanwhile, Long inked a deal for the album with CbuJ Entertainment, Nashville's premier independent record label and distribution company, to handle national distribution for Big Boss Man. "It's a great honor for us to take this on," says Stephen McCord, VP/Sales & Marketing for CbuJ. "These guys have been playing together for more than 35 years, and with that depth of experience and artistry they're going to be our number one priority for CBUJ."

With the power-chord treatment of Buck Owens's "Made in Japan," the intimate cantina treatment of the Everly Brothers's "So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad)," the goofball romp through Roger Miller's "Chug-a-Lug"...with every track on the album, in fact, choosing one as the first single was no easy task. Yet in the end the title cut proved perfect for representing both the point of the album and the spirit of the Headhunters.

"The first version of `Big Boss Man' we'd ever heard was the one that Elvis sang at his sit-down concert in '68," Richard Young says. "Everybody said that he was washed up, but then he comes back in black leather, sits down in front of these people, and brings himself back. That took huge balls, and we respected that. But every time the Headhunters get into a song we become musicologists and dig back to find out where it came from--which means that it was Elvis who turned us on to the guy who did the original version, Jimmy Reed.

"That's part of what we want to accomplish with Big Boss Man. We want people to know about the songs that affected us when we were growing up. Of course we also put our own brand on them, and we're proud of what we've done. But one thing's for sure: Whatever you say about the Kentucky Headhunters, nobody can say we didn't do some great tunes."

5 out of 5 stars What could be.......2006-08-09

This is a great album from the Kentucky Headhunters. Their versions of these classic songs breathes new life to every cut. If there was any justice in the music industry this album would be played on every country and rock-n-roll radio station in the nation. The version of "Made in Japan" is the best remake I've heard in years and if widely listened to would be a bigger hit than even the Buck Owens version....and that's saying something. Buy this and play it LOUD. Great job guys.

4 out of 5 stars Still the best heavy metal country band!.......2005-06-26

My neighbors will hate me for playing this compact disc because it is loud and will shake the walls! The Headbangers basically re-write the 12 cover songs presented here. Except for the Bob Dylan cover, nothing is remotely similiar to the original performance. Once again, Greg, Fred, Richard, Anthony and Doug(what a vocal on "You Win Again") deliver the goods. One nit pick, though, I'm still waiting for them to record and/or release "Crossroads". I've heard them play it a couple of times in the late 80's and early 90's.

5 out of 5 stars Bringing their patented country blues to the classics.......2005-06-23

When the Kentucky Headhunters burst onto the scene in 1989 (after over a decade of perfecting their skills), Nasvhille bands were made up of two types: those that played fiddle-and-steel, and those that did pop country. The Headhunters introduced something new to mainstream country: rock and blues. It's nice to see that, all these years later, they haven't lost their edge.

Revitalizing such hits as Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight" and Roger Miller's "Chug a Lug" might seem ballsy, and downright blasphemous...except that the Headhunters take these songs and make them their own. There's no trodding over old material here...these songs sound fresh and re-energized, thanks in large part to Doug Phelps's raspy vocals and Greg Martin's incomparable guitar chops. The result is an album of "new" classics--new versions of songs you already know, that you will come to love as much as the originals. BIG BOSS MAN is, simply, an album by one of country's most talented bands, remaking the songs that made them want to sing in the first place--and doing it their way. Like they've always done things.

5 out of 5 stars The Most Under-Rated Band Around.......2005-06-22

The "Heads" Breathe New Life And A Totally Different Twist On All These Cover Songs. They Really Do Defy Categorization. Heavy Metal Country? Country Rock? Rock Country? They Just Continue To Just Play The Music They Want To Play And With "Big Boss Man", They Honor Some Other Artists And Music That Mean Something To Them. Just Simply......Amazing

Great, great box set with ALL the hits and ALL THE lesser known classics!
When I'm in the mood to hear Jimmy Reed songs I want them all together so I can "relive" with my buddies those days and the great sounds that we danced to and partied to in our youth! We would ware out the grooves on those Silver and Purple Vee Jay 45's! Terrific liner notes also! A must have!

5 out of 5 stars Greater than Elvis.......2007-01-26

Jimmy Reed was, arguably, greater than Elvis. He was a terrific songwriter, a singer with a laid back delivery, a screeming harmonica, and a cool guitar. Don't be fooled by this nonsense of him being unable to carry a tune, or that he was no master of the guitar or the harmonica. Maybe so. But the seemingly simple arrangements of his songs are really so subtle, inventive and marvelous that Mick Jagger, Brian Jones and Keith Richard listened to his records incessantly, trying to figure out how he did it. And the Grateful Dead and Steve Miller loved him.
This being said, it is worth having all of his CDs.
To start, buy this 3-CD box set (and then Jimmy Reed at Carnegie Hall and Rockin' with Reed). Don't make the mistake of buying another CD boxed set, Jimmy Reed: The Classic Recordings, on the Tomato label. It has a good compilation, but plays at a very low level and has lousy sound quality. An insult to this great blues master's work.

4 out of 5 stars Misleading packaging but good content.......2006-04-10

Whoever packaged this didn't know his onions. The "Boss Man" cover is from a different album than the one actually on the CD. The original "Boss Man" (the one on the CD) was never realesed on vynil in the UK but has been released as a separate CD by Koch. The only "Boss Man" released on vynil in the UK (and the one pictured) had in fact been issued in the US as "The Best of..." and was renamed for UK release. It included such tracks as "A Part of Your Life", "A Woman Left Lonely" and "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast", as well as a few tracks from the original "Boss Man" album. (Indicentally, there was also another vynil compilation, on the Embassy label, called "I Do My Swingin' at Home", with a similar range of obscure an well-known tracks. Also, the cover-photo from the UK album "Boss Man" was also used on a Hallmark budget album "Midnight Blues".)

This gaffe apart, this pairing of two Charlie Rich albums - one from just before his "overnight success" and one from just after - is most welcome, particularly "Very Special Love Songs", on which he reprises some of his recordings from Sun and RCA. But I would be happier if someone issued a compilation of ALL his Epic singles and the recordings that didn't make his major albums or even appaear at all.

    Album Description

    "Sky Blues" is the new CD from the Sauce Boss. This is not your "crying in your beer" kind of blues. "Sky Blues" is up…way up. Blues for the beach from the Florida-based Gumbo Man. Full of energy and good vibes, like the legendary live shows by the Sauce Boss, this CD was shot from the hip with mostly first takes and few overdubs. 12 new originals from the Sauce Boss and a cover from Robert Johnson "Come on in My Kitchen" and one from John Martyn--the prophetic "Don't Want to Know". It's as close to "live" as you get in the studio. Salt water blues from the dude with the hot sauce.

          2 out of 5 stars Just for the collector.......2007-01-25

          This is a collections of tracks recorded mostly of Eric Clapton, and if I remember the original liner notes along with Jimmy Page with a few cuts featuring Jeff Beck. (Beck sounds the most proficiant to me) A friend of mine had this album (or at least an album with some of this material on it) back in 1973. I believe it was called Guitar Boogie. It's very dated sounded with a few of the tracks just having 2 guitars (Eric on lead and Jimmy on chords I think)and sounds like they had a small reel to reel sitting around someone's house in an informal jam. I bought it just for the memories, a little bit of the earlier jamming by Eric, Jeff & Jimmy. I believe this was probably around the time of the Yardbirds, or shortly after Beck split from them, around those years. I would only recommend this for those searching out everything these guys have done. But there are some good moments on there. A few tracks have vocals in what sounds like sessions one of them were playing on.
