Description:

Despite the title, JIMMY REED AT CARNEGIE HALL is not a live album, but a recreation of a Jimmy Reed Carnegie Hall performance. The songs are not the original recordings, but new versions recorded in 1961.
While the title is something of a misnomer, LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL is nonetheless an essential part of the Jimmy Reed catalog. It was made in the wake of (and intended to capitalize on) Reed`s highly publicized Carnegie concert in 1961, but was in fact was recorded entirely in the studio. Whatever its origins, it stands as a stellar batch of Reed`s greatest tunes, including "Baby What You Want Me To Do," "Bright Lights Big City," etc. This release takes the career-summary angle even further by appending Vee-Jay`s BEST OF JIMMY REED to the CARNEGIE tracks. Appropriately, this was the album that introduced much of the world to the blues giant`s laid-back charms.
