Despite what the cover says, this is not an ‘Honest-to-Goodness’ live recording. It’s not even close. What this LP actually is is a string of Jimmy Reed hits with crowd noise overdubbed. You know how I can tell? There are several ways. Reed and his band sound like they are in the studio. The vocal performance, the guitar playing, everything sounds clean. They don’t sound like they are playing in a club or coffee house. Reed doesn’t showboat on these recordings like most blues guitarists would playing live, or even introduce the songs he’s playing. The crowd cheers at odd points during the music, and the applause comes in a beat too late after the music fades out. The music fades out?!? Yes, when was the last time you heard a band’s music fade out after what should be a bull of a performance? Exactly. ~Napkinart
