#2189 Jimmy Reed - I'm Jimmy Reed

Points for doing it first-ish aside, this's mellow, lazily pleasant, ultimately unspectacular stuff. The mix's thin, the tempo's lazy, the delivery's not especially passionate, the performance's shaky, and there's no deviation from the blues blueprint whatsoever. For some people, that might all be a good thing - this is no-frills stuff in a no-frills genre, but it left me underwhelmed 2.5/5
