The great Bluesman's sophomore effort…one of the critical albums of the modern blues. "Caress Me Baby" must be the finest blues song ever written. Our vote for the best blues album in history. (Sorry, B.B. King…move over Muddy…scram, Wolfie…) Absolutely, positively  indispensable

Track listing: Going to New York - A string to your heart - Ends and odds - Caress me baby - Take out some insurance - The moon is rising - Down in Virginia - I know it's a sin - Wanna be loved - Baby, what's on your mind - My bitter seed - Rockin' with Reed.

If this is of any relevance (and we do not claim that it is) "Rockin' with Reed" is an important  entry in our top-10 list of personal favorite BLUES albums . Other entries- in no particular order- include Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Lonnie Johnson, Albert King, Freddy King, Butterfield Blues Band, Elmore James, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Big Joe Turner.)

***

Reed's second Vee Jay album was even more impressive than his debut for the independent label. Joined by long-time collaborator and guitarist Eddie Taylor, Reed polishes off such now classic cuts as "Going to New York," "Take Out Some !nsurance," and " "Down in Virginia." Reed's slyly sensuous voice and lithe guitar work are heard to fine effect over the course of the 12 stellar tracks here. In addition to Taylor, Reed also gets fine support from guitarists Albert King and John Little Jhn and drummer Earl Philips. One of the best places for Reed newcomers to start their collection.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(d)          Stereo copies of this album - either "true"  or electronically rechannelled - are NOT known to exist (although some later covers are incorrectly identified as such via small "stereo" s ticker).

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
