Review Blues Masters: The Very Best of Jimmy Reed / Jimmy Reed:With his meteoric run of hits from early 1955 through late 1961, Chicago's Jimmy Reed reigned as the most popular bluesman of his day, rivaled only by fellow Mississippi transplant B. B. King. By the mid-'60s Reed was playing New York's Carnegie Hall and the Apollo Theater, and touring England as a star. Reed's sweet Delta-inflected singing complemented the cool walking bass shuffles of his cleverly crafted songs, the finest of which are to be found in this tasteful contribution to Rhino's commendable Blues Masters series. Included here are chart toppers like "You Don't Have to Go," "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby," "Baby What You Want Me to ," "Big Boss Man," and "Bright Lights Big City," all durable standards that influenced a generation of rockers from Bob Dylan to the Rolling Stones to Jimi Hendrix, and earned Reed his proper place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. -Alan Greenberg.

Review The Very Best Of John Lee Hooker / John Lee Hooker:A million or so collections, all from different record labels, document this Detroit blues guitarist's influential boogie-woogie career. This 16-song Rhino CD is an excellent starting point, with definitive versions of Hooker's classics "Boom Boom", "Boogie Chillen'", "I'm in the Mood" and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer". It's interesting to hear the singer's voice progress from a deep, growling slur to the more polished recent material, such as his collaboration with slide guitarist Roy Rogers on Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues", but he still hasn't lost his bottom-line rawness. -Steve Knopper.
