Big Boss Man (Jimmy Reed album)

Big Boss Man is an album by blues musician Jimmy Reed released by the BluesWay label in 1968.

Reception
AllMusic reviewer Cub Koda stated: "Reed was in pretty sad shape by this time in his life and the monotonous approach to these songs (tunes constantly fade in and out as if only this much of the performance was salvageable) gives these recordings a real assembly line quality that's most unsettling".
