Background notes
Archive material and source history
A.C. Reed was born in 1926 in Macon, Georgia, where he grew up hearing gospel and blues. He learned to play guitar and harmonica, drawing from artists like B.B. King and Little Walter. In 1959, he released 'Big Woman,' a song that got attention for its suggestive lyrics but also for its driving rhythm and his raw vocal delivery.
He recorded other songs like 'Broke Music' and 'Fed Up,' and put out albums including 'I'm in the Mood' in 1960 and 'Can't Get Enough' in 2002. Reed worked with Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, and Johnny Winter at different points. His harmonica playing had a rough, wailing quality, and his singing mixed humor with a bluesman's weariness.
Reed died in 2004. Songs like 'Florine' and 'Give It Up (Smoking)' show his style, blues with a soul inflection, straightforward and unpolished.
