Any conversation about who were the people that built the foundation of Rock-n-Roll that doesn't include several mentions of Jimmy Reed is not a conversation I can be part of. To cite those he has influenced and have covered his songs makes for a long list.

Tonight, on the evening marking the 40th year of his passing, I just think we all need to crank up one of his songs.

What are you listening to tonight?

Can you help us out?
