Jimmy Reed signed with Chicago's Vee-Jay Records in 1953 and he stayed with the label for nearly a dozen years, during a decade where blues had its last great run as a hit singles medium. Reed was partially responsible for the golden age of blues hits on the R&B charts in the '50s, racking up nine Billboard R&B Top 10 singles between 1955 and 1961. All the hits, along with their flipsides – and, sometimes, the spoken introduction not released on a 45 – are here on this magnificent triple-disc set from Craft Recordings.

One if not the best small group recordings of Buddy Rich. Noted as primarily a big band jazz drummer, Rich is masterfully comfortable with this small group. The entire group is so tight, there isn't any room for clams. Why they never released the second Argo LP back in the day is beyond me. The guard sessions are also an excellent representation of this great bands' talent! Mainieri's vibes keeps pace well with Buddy and Most and Goldie are superb! If you don't have this material you are in for a treat!
