RE: [Harp-L] Jimmy Reed

[Tom Ball <havaball@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Bruce,

While there aren't any harp-centric Jimmy Reed books available, there 
are a few interesting places to start:

"Jimmy Reed - Master Bluesman"
This concentrates on chord changes, guitar tab and lyrics:

"Big Boss Man"
This book is a biography:

Thirdly, there was a book (now out of print) on Reed in the Best of 
the Blues Series (Creative Concepts Publishing.) It's been years 
since I've seen a copy, but as I recall it was oriented towards 
lyrics and melodies, not harp.

In any event, hoping it's a help...

cheers,
Tom Ball

Does anyone know of any Jimmy Reed harp books?  I've been listening to him
and would like to find a book of his licks, Jimmy Reed backing tracks, Jimmy
Reed fake books (though I'd prefer a harp specific book), Jimmy Reed
History....

Thanks,
Bruce K Ritter
