The Stones were big Jimmy Reed fans. First demo they recorded was Bright Lights, Big City. This is a favourite of mine. One of the most copied riffs ever...
It's a great track, YouTube has too many to pick from - I read Keith Richards autobiography a little earlier this year, it's a really good book and concentrates mostly on music and musicians - you could see how highly he regarded Jimmy Reed.
First became aware of Jimmy Reed after hearing the Stone’s very good cover of Honest I Do with Brian Jones on harmonica.
