The New Jimmy Reed Album

The New Jimmy Reed Album is an album by blues musician Jimmy Reed released by the BluesWay label in 1967.

Reception

AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated the album was: "bogged down by a production that tries to move Reed into the blues-rock era. Consequently, the album is primarily of interest to completists, since even hardcore Reed fans may find the production disconcerting".
