LIL’ JIMMY REED WITH BOB HALL & HILARY BLYTHE

From shot-gun shack and cotton-field to festival main stage, the prodigious talents of Lil’ Jimmy Reed have taken him a long way from the Mississippi river.

One of the last surviving performers of classic Louisiana down-home blues, Lil’ Jimmy’s stinging guitar work, gritty vocals and haunting harmonica have been taking Europe by storm. His music has won him many awards and in 2014 he was inducted into the prestigious Blues Hall of Fame.

Lil’ Jimmy’s tours are hugely successful and he has received wild applause and standing ovations as he strolls through the crowds playing and singing his unique brand of down-home blues. His first CD “School’s Out” was rated “Superb” by CD Review. He is accompanied by Bob Hall, widely regarded as the UK’s finest blues and boogie player, on piano, and the diminutive dynamo Hilary Blythe on rock steady bass.
