Lil' Jimmy Reed is the last of the original Louisiana bluesmen. Born Leon Atkins in Hardwood, LA in 1938, he grew up across from a Chitlin' Circuit club. He was exposed to the music of the early blues masters at a young age and cut his teeth on the Baton Rouge music scene. He earned his Lil' Jimmy Reed moniker after being called to fill in for the iconic Jimmy Reed one night; the rest is history!
