JoJo Reed is a zydeco musician from Eunice whose popularity has moved far beyond his home in Southwest Louisiana. Reed has been playing and writing music since his high school years at St. Edmund's in Eunice, where he graduated in 1989. The winter 2000 issue of The Jays' Quarterly, the school's alumni newsletter, featured a story on JoJo describing his tour up the East Coast and trips to other festivals around the country. He has become so popular in California that he has a booking agent just for that state.

JoJo Reed has released another CD of hard-hitting Zydeco, titled The Last Hoorah! It includes a tribute to one of the old-time legends of Zydeco, Leo "The Bull" Thomas, with Leo himself showing up to offer his own advice on becoming a bull: it takes a whole lot of women to be a bull. The CD includes eight other original songs, including the title cut, which describes the pains and pleasures of being a Zydeco musician: whatever JoJo decides to do in the future, you can bet that this is not really his last hoorah. Other new songs berate a "Trail Ride Woman" and her "vilaines manières," her ugly ways, tell us "My Life Is a Merry-Go-Round," and complain he is "Tired of Being Alone."

Jo Jo Reed is a musician who has managed to forge his own sound in Zydeco, while still remaining true to the music and it's tradition. It is his respect for the past, and his dedication to the future of the music which has set him apart as someone to watch in Zydeco.
