* LighterAndSofter: When compared to the harsh, daring sounds of his Chicago contemporaries Music/MuddyWaters and Music/HowlinWolf. His style has even been called "singalong Blues".

Jimmy Reed (1925-1976) was an American Blues singer, harmonica player, and guitarist. With his laid-back simple, easily recognizable style, Reed had a huge influence on blues and early Rock music. Notable for a 1950s bluesman, many of Reeds songs actually made it to the Pop charts.
