"Henry Reed's Breakdown" is an American breakdown in cut time in A mixolydian from the playing of Henry Reed of Glen Lyn, Virginia. The parts are played AABBCC. It was collected from Henry Reed by Alan Jabbour for the Library of Congress. While most of Henry Reed's repertoire was traditional tunes, this tune is apparently his original composition. Alan Jabbour and Ken Perlman play this in a medley with "Greasy String". It was recorded by Alan Jabbour and Ken Perlman on Southern Summits.
