Jimmy Reed Highway, Jimmie Vaughan

I went to see A show call the Jimmy Reed Highway. It was held at the Dallas House of Blues. The band included Jimmie Vaughan, Omar Dykes, Kim Wilson, Lou Ann Barton and a great rhythm section. Anson Funderburg opened up the show. This is a tribute to Blues Pioneer Jimmy Reed. The shows are in support of an album by the same name released last week. Guests on the album include Delbert McClinton, James Cotton and Gary Clark Junior. It is a great album, pick it up. The show was very cool and they all looked like they were having fun. They played for almost 2 hours.Their interpretations of these classic songs was moving. Very simple arrangements with lots of room for the music to breath. Jimmie's guitar playing is the perfect compliment to these songs. Kim Wilsons harmonica playing and singing was full of passion and soul. Omar can sing! It was great to see Lou ann and her parts were beautiful. Lou Ann and Omar did a duet on "Natural Born Lover"...WOW After the show i got to go back stage and meet Jimmie Vaughan and Omar Dykes. This was a huge thrill for me. I have been a fan of Jimmie's and Stevies for years. He was very sweet and we chatted for a few minutes. We have a few things/friends in common that we discussed.The green room started filling up with friends and family as i made my exit. Very cool evening indeed. I am the luckiest man alive...LMA
