Summary: How could this fall so flat?
Comment: Talk about expectant. When I heard about the collaboration of two of my fave current blues players, I was ecstatic. I got the cd shortly after it was released. I don't know when I've been so disappointed about something I was so looking forward to. Perhaps Big Mama Thorton was right, "No one can do Jimmy Reed like Jimmy Reed!" But there is a sense to this album that they were trying to hard to recreate the laconic groove of a Reed disc. There is a reverance that swirls in the background of this record that constrains the players in taking the minimal musical risks that are necessary to stand out from the original. Certainly Jimmie Vaughn doesn't sound like Eddie Taylor and Omar Dykes sounds nothing like Jimmy Reed. So why then do I get this sense of reverance and constraint? Buying this cd has made realize (yet again) what a special groove Jimmy and Eddie had going, and that perhaps, just like in the case of the Beatles, no one can come close to the original even if they try...

Summary: Great Blues CD
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed this cd. Some have complained that Jimmy Vaughn's guitar playing wasn't up to par, but he sounds as he always does. He is not a jazz player. He plays it rough, bluesy, and always on the edge. Perfect for these songs. And the chance to hear the fabulous Lou Ann Barton, even in a background role, is worth the price. When will she be putting out a new cd?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Omar at his best!
Comment: Omar does a great job on all these old Jimmy Reed hits. Vaughan's not too shabby on the guitar himself. :) It's definitely worth the purchase!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Where have you been, Jimmy Reed!
Comment: Great stuff! Omar and Jimmy really do justice to the late Jimmy Reed. I have been waiting for this fun and insightfull review of Jimmy's songs and style. These good ol' boys got it right!

Summary: OK,I'm prejudiced...
Comment: ...having been around Austin since the '70's.I can remember when Jimmie Vaughan and Kim Wilson were playing in beer joints as The Fabulous Thunderbirds.At the same time Lou Ann Barton was singing in a band called The Triple Threat Review with Jimmie's little brother Stevie Ray.I saw Omar & The Howlers at the old Austex Lounge for my 26th birthday.So what this sounds like to me is a great big blast of the old Austin blues scene come roaring back to life,even if it is only for this one recording.And there's not another group of musicians in the world better suited to pay tribute to Jimmy Reed,these people have worshipped at his feet their whole careers.Some reviewers have said they thought that Jimmie Vaughan's guitar work was lacking,I think he's just adding his own minimalist style rather than just copying the original Eddie Taylor licks.This is a true work of love.In the liner notes Omar dedicates the song "Jimmy Reed Highway" to Clifford Antone who was probaly the biggest Eddie Taylor/Jimmy Reed fan on the planet.And Jimmie Vaughan dedicates the whole CD to Eddie Taylor.This CD is a big sloppy kiss from the cream of the Austin blues musicians to their heroes.I give it 4 stars only because you have to be a fan of this kind of music to truly appreciate it.But for those that do,this is a true gem & a must buy !

"Big boss man is still the man today," growls Omar Dykes on one of just two non-Jimmy Reed covers from a rare release without his Howlers band. That handily sums up this roaring and impassioned tribute to one of the most vital, influential, yet often unheralded figures in blues. What was intended as a solo Dykes project took on a unique tinge as fellow Texan Jimmie Vaughan--also a huge Reed fan--swung by to add some solos and stayed to contribute his concise and taut guitar lines to nearly every track. The duo also brought in veteran harpists Kim Wilson (the Fabulous Thunderbirds), James Cotton (Muddy Waters), and local icon Gary Primich, as well as long time Vaughan associate Lou Ann Barton to upshift the groove with her sexy vocals. The resulting disc finds that slippery Reed pocket of sly, lazy, yet edgy shuffles that are deceptively difficult to recreate. Although Dykes's powerfully gruff, Howlin' Wolf-styled voice is nowhere near Reed's far less incisive approach, the bass-free instrumentation and Vaughan's guitar lines perfectly capture the essence of Reed's loping, low-key persona. Only a handful of these tracks ("Big Boss Man," "Baby What You Want Me to Do," "Bright Lights, Big City," and "Caress Me Baby") will be familiar to most, with others rescued from the deeper recesses of the bluesman's catalog. That makes this both a smooth drive and an immensely enjoyable learning experience for those wishing to take a field trip down Jimmy Reed's rugged highway. --Hal Horowitz
