- Mathis James "Jimmy" Reed (September 6, 1925 – August 29, 1976) was an American blues musician and songwriter, notable for bringing his distinctive style of blues to mainstream audiences. Reed was a major player in the field of electric blues, as opposed to the more acoustic-based sound of many of his contemporaries. His music had a significant impact on many rock and roll artists who followed, such as Elvis Presley, Billy Gibbons, Hank Williams, Jr., and the Rolling Stones.
- He had already made this claim on 11 October 1979, perhaps due to his bad memory but possibly as an indication of how highly he rated the artist, for him a bluesman rivalled only by Lightnin' Hopkins. (Similar confusion also existed over whether Peel ever saw Elmore James live, although in that case it appears he didn't. See 05 January 2000.)

(Similar confusion also existed over whether Peel ever saw Elmore James live, although in that case it appears he didn't. See 05 January 2000.) Jimmy Reed features in Peel's playlists from the Perfumed Garden in 1967 through to the shows he recorded for BBC World Service in 2004 shortly before going on holiday to Peru that were broadcast after his death, as well as his final Radio One show on 14 October 2004. In 1990, Peel had chosen 'Too Much', later a Peelenium choice for 1963, among his eight Desert Island Discs.
