Aaron Corthen, better known as A.C. Reed, was born in Wardell, Missouri, and grew up in southern Illinois. He took his stage name from his friend Jimmy Reed. He moved to Chicago during World War II, playing with Earl Hooker and Willie Mabon in the 1940s. He became a member of Buddy Guy's band in 1967, playing with him on his tour of Africa in 1969 and, with Junior Wells, opening for the Rolling Stones in 1970. He remained with Guy until 1977. He then played with Son Seals and Albert Collins in the late 1970s and 1980s. He began recording solo material for Alligator Records in the 1980s. His 1987 album, I'm in the Wrong Business, includes cameo appearances by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bonnie Raitt. The title cut is a humorous take on the struggles of being in the music business. ("I'm not even a thousandaire.") This Little Voice, which was an early Reed hit, features Bonnie Raitt on slide guitar and backing vocals. These Blues is Killing Me has Stevie Ray Vaughn on guitar. He is also featured on I Can't Go On This Way and Miami Strut from the album. This is a fun relatively unknown blues artist with a upbeat soul.
