Is there any photo(s) of bluesman Willie Reed available? Any other photo from a more obscure blues player surfaced recently?
Thank you

Thank you Emerson ...I'm guessing if there was one document records would've put it on one of their releases - but you never know, there might be one in the old blues publications
I searched on google books I didn't find a picture but I did learn that Reed was prolly backing T-Bone Walker in his '29 recordings: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=68Re4trXKqoC&pg=PA81&dq=willie+reed+blues&hl=en&ei=jTw5TsT0PMOu8gOwhY3rAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=willie%20reed%20blues&f=false Pages: [1] Go Up
