Day 18: A song you like from the year you were born

Little Rain by Jimmy Reed

What I love most about this number is its raggedness. I’ve heard clearer remasters of it since, but the sonic murkiness of the reverb they threw on or whatever it might be, is for me a major part of its lo-fi charm. Also, Reed was hammered when he recorded this (as usual), and I get such a kick out of how he insists on cutting the first line of each vocal verse short, throwing off the rest of the band, with his second guitarist audibly stomping on the floor trying to get Reed back into time with everyone else… such a strange mood to it, when all is said and done.
