Release.Info :
Omar Kent Dykes assembled a dream cast of primarily Texas-based musicians for
On The Jimmy Reed Highway, his titular tribute to the oft-overlooked bluesman
who, at his peak, routinely outsold the likes of Muddy, Wolf, and every other
revered figure in the blues.
The disc was a smashing success (by blues standards), and virtually everyone is
back on board for the follow up, again presided over by Dykes and
producer/guitarist Derek OÆBrien. That means guest turns from the likes of
James Cotton, Jimmy Vaughan, Lou Ann Barton, and Lazy Lester, all backed by a
solid core of AustinÆs finest (OÆBrien, an underrated but brilliant guitarist,
along with Wes Starr on drums and bassist Ronnie James) who have an intuitive
feel for ReedÆs patented lazy but irresistible shuffle.
There are only two Reed songs this time out (ôMary Mary,ö ReedÆs tribute to his
long-suffering wife and musical helper, and ôClose Together,ö here a duet
between Dykes and Barton, whose Texas drawl seems deeper than ever), but both
opener ôBig Town Playboyö and ôUp Side Your Headö were written by ReedÆs
long-time sideman, Eddie Taylor. (Some say Taylor was the true architect of the
famous Reed shuffle; it eventually led to bad blood between the two).
Other highlights include the Jimmy McCracklin anti-cheating opus, ôThinkö
(another duet) and Ivory Joe HunterÆs immortal ôSince I Met You Baby,ö along
with a pair of swamp-blues ditties from Slim Harpo (the classic ôKing Beeö and
the lesser-known grinder ôDream Girlö). And Reed didnÆt write it, but it was
he who made the menacing ôMan Down Thereö famous.
As expected from a cast of this calibre, performances throughout are absolutely
stellar in an old-school way, meaning an intangible but unmistakable feel is
preferred over flash or technical brilliance. Dykes reigns in his Wolfman-Jack
inspired vocals, but he still sounds as though he gargles with broken glass and
rotgut whiskey. CottonÆs showing his age, and Lester has never been about
perfection. But while it sounds simple, ReedÆs music is deceptive, and few can
deliver it with such relaxed assurance and sheer finesse as this esteemed
assemblage.
