This collection of 25 West Coast harmonica jams includes ALL of the 60's sides recorded by HARMONICA FATS with savage,rocking support as well as 7 previously un-reissued sides by George Harmonica Smith, including two fiery live recordings with Big Jay Mc Neely's band in 1964. Some of the most intriguing sides are by unknown artists who made a couple sides and then disappeared. Stormy Herman & His Midnight Ramblers and Ben Harper & the Cincos are amazing small combo sides with high register harp & funky band support. An added bonus is a Johnny Dyer single from 1979 with Jr. Watson featured on guitar and Pete "Guitar Lewis blowing the back off the harp on two wild sides from the 50's. (Roots & Rhythm)

JIMMY REED - Ain't That Loving You Baby: Singles A's & B's, 1953-1961 @320

http://www74.zippyshare.com/v/10039586/file.html

With his mid tempo three-chord blues shuffle rhythms, crude-rack harmonica runs, and lazy, slurred vocals that barely navigated his limited four- or five-note melodies, Jimmy Reed seems to possess all the qualities of an amateur player destined to serve out his career in his own basement playing to no one in particular. That all of these musical limitations turned out ultimately to be assets is a lesson for all of us, because Reed's unerring simplicity produced blues and rock classics like "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby" and "Baby What You Want Me to Do," and countless other songs, all built from the same crude template, and they've stood the test of time. This two-disc set collects both sides of the singles he released for Vee-Jay Records between 1953 and 1961, including the above songs and other genre standards like "I Ain't Got You," "Bright Lights Big City," and "Big Boss Man." (Steve Leggett, Allmusic)
