Mike 'Shrimp Daddy' Reid - Messin' With My System (2010)

Shrimp Daddy’s seminal recording, “Messin’ With My System”. Inspired in equal measure by the sounds of Little Walter and William Clarke, “Messin’ With My System” is a must have for any blues aficionado’s library. Shrimp’s powerful baritone voice, rich harp tone and tasty phrasing will carry the listener through tunes filled with both irony and good humour. His deep gravelly vocals, accompanied by the mesmerizing sound of his harmonica whisks you to the juke joints of Mississippi as well as the hard edge blues clubs of Chicago. The music of the “Walters”, Willie Dixon, Howlin’ Wolf & Muddy Waters augmented with the unforgettable sound of Butterfield is his forte! The CD is a testament to the gritty reality of the life of a true bluesman, Michael “Shrimp Daddy” Reid.
