The JIMMY REED HIGHWAY is a well traveled thoroughfare as storied and rich in legend throughout the southern United States as Robert Johnson's mythical crossroads. Ain't nobody can do Jimmy Reed like Jimmy Reed could, but this drive down the JIMMY REED HIGHWAY with fellow Mississippian Kent "Omar " Dykes at the wheel and Jimmie Vaughan riding shotgun and folks like Kim Wilson, Miss Lou Ann Barton, James Cotton, Delbert McClinton and Gary Clark Jr.. joining in, they come mighty close. This album is the pinnacle of blues, defining an entire generation through the music of one man who defined the one before.
