Jimmy Reed was the biggest blues artist of the '50s and early '60s, outselling giants such as Muddy Waters and B.B. King. His stature was so great that Vee-Jay released a double album on him in 1961, a rarity at the time even for rock and pop artists. Though marketed as a live album, At Carnegie Hall was actually a collection of new stereo versions of Reed's biggest hits. As such, it was tremendously influential on a generation of rockers, including Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, and Aretha Franklin, all of whom covered songs from this albumPrice: $9.99
