HOW CHILL IS JIMMY REED?

I've always thought of Jimmy Reed as sort of a laid back version of the blues. Not that he isn't authentic. He just doesn't seem as threatening or believably down as someone like Howlin' Wolf. Shit, next to him Howlin' Wolf might as well be Guitar Wolf (no relation). Just how chill is he? He won't even get off his duff for photo shoots. That chill.

Fake? Could be. Posted as found.

Chill? Certainly, but I’m pretty sure not getting up for that photo shoot had something to do with showing off those white leather slip-ons as well :).

Hey, they were good enough for James Williamson!

Him too, eh? Trés sauve. Far from a stranger to outré footwear; cream colored loafers now on my list!
