Jerry Reed -- Amos Moses [REACTION] 

Love Jerry Reed. My mom dated him in high school before she met my dad. My favorite song of his is She got the goldmine i got the shaft

you should react to *She Got The Goldmine* and/or *When You're Hot, You're Hot* both by *Jerry Reed*

You missed out. Half the reason it’s an all-time classic was because of his guitar playing. This is totally different than the original recording

Jerry Reed was accomplished musician. Check out some Jerry Reed & Chet Atkins videos. Side note: Elvis wanted to record Reed's song, Guitar Man, but neither Elvis or his musicians could get the guitar part right, so Elvis called Jerry to come to his studio & play guitar. Reed played on at least 2 tracks for Elvis; "Guitar Man" & "U.S. Male", which is another great song of Jerry's.

I was the long tall skinny guy playing guitar in that video. I think that video was shot around 1982-83. Jerry Reed was a great guy to work for. Also an amazing guitarist, actor and songwriter. A true genius in his own right.

Country has died. The reason this stuff still hits you today is because it was quality, unlike the psuedo pop today that masquerades as country. RIP Snowman!

I rate at a 10 out of 10...the story...the voice and the guitar are all perfect it should be a 12!!

I got to meet Jerry Reed in Nashville back in the late 80s. We had a mutual friend, and we were just sitting down for lunch when Jerry walked in. He ended up having lunch with us, and he was a genuinely nice guy and very humble. For some reason, I asked him about the dog in Smokey and the Bandit, and he said the dog kept falling off of the seat in the truck scenes and he had horrible gas. Don't know why I remember that, but I do. He was one hell of a talented guitar player, and a celebrity who didn't act like he was anything special. He said that he had the greatest job in the world because he got to play music that he liked, and act like a fool and get paid for it. I told him I already acted like a fool, but I wasn't getting paid for it, and he told me that I was doing it wrong! 🤣

My husband is today years old when he hears it. Born in1977. He loved snowman. He is over the moon hearing this

I heard this song for the first time on Vinyl when I was only 7yrs old, it's been one of my favorites ever since!

He was “Snowman” in Smokey and the Bandit.

Jerry Reed wrote Amos Moses

Not only did Jerry Reed write funny songs, he also wrote & recorded a wonderful song called, "A Thing Called Love", which was also recorded by Elvis & Johnny Cash. Man...you could be doing reaction/review videos forever! I hope so.

I live 45 mins southeast of Thibodaux la, Jerry Reed is a awesome singer and alligator hunting is a great time. They pretty good too. Lol

I discovered this song courtesy of K Rose & Mary Beth.

Tennessee Ernie Ford 16tons or jimmy dean big bad John

One of the greatest pickers ever!

If you want a good laugh, try out Jerry's......."She got the goldmine I got the shaft". Also "The Bird". Jerry makes a bad day great listening to him!!

Jerry Reed was a really funny man.

OMG..LOVE HIM AND THIS SONG. I may be a Texas girl but have a strong Cajun heritage, brings be back home.

Love the harmonica.

Chet Atkins met Jerry in the early 60s and started playing and writing eith him. Jerry was the first to receive a CGP Certified a guitar picker/ player award from Chet. Only 5 ever given.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I saw him at a county fair in Greeley, Colorado. Got to stand right in front of him. What a great entertainer!

Jerry was a great, fun performer, but his true talent was as a guitarist. One of the best in the world of that era!

RockN2Country I was born in 71 and Jerry was/is and always has been one of my favorites, Mostly because he is so good hearted good natured, fun lovin', and loved life, music and people!! Get this though, and I would love to see if any University Hills kids out there catch this and know this....our P.E. coach, Coach McCormick(spelling?) used to teach us to country and western dance every Tuesday and Thursday for a part of exercise and just the involvement of music being beneficial!!! So, here's the Jerry Reed connection, We ALWAYS lined danced to Amos Moses at least once each session! We loved it and usually danced to it twice at least!! Coach taught us to line dance, square dance, two step, Houston two step, waltz, jitter bug and maybe a few more! My family moved from N.M. after my last year, 6th grade at UH to Oklahoma, and I never had a decent P.E. Class again!!! He had us playing all of the sports, track and field and we were graded and ran through trials every 9 weeks!!! Thanks for all of the memories and lessons Coach, all of the UH teachers and staff and of course all of the students!!! And of course a big thanks to Jerry Reed for his music and sense of humor, and all of the other music artists we danced to!!!

Jerry’s give a shit-o- meter is always at 0! Lol Love his stuff. RIP

He was also Coach Red on Waterboy. I love everything Jerry Reed.

He was a great man Porter Wagner had house boat right close to ours Jerry was always there it was on Center Hill Lake here in Tennessee he inspired me to learn guitar

I don't know why, but many times that Jerry sang this song live, he mixed up the verses. The verse that says his daddy used him as bait, is supposed to be before the verse that says he lost his left arm. But, I've loved this song since it was first released.

Jerry Reed was a one of a kind.

Someone mentioned about Jerry and Chet playing together. Chet Atkins was probably one of the most innovative guitar players on the planet and he had a very close circle of friends that he named 'Official Guitar Players' and Jerry was one of them. Jerry was a wizard on the acoustic, and he was always trying to get higher on the fretboard to get some particular effects. He finally got frustrated and cut a 90 degree chunk out of his acoustic guitar to make it easier to get to the upper frets, and you'll see this instrument featured in a lot of his videos.😉 This song, and 'When You're Hot, You're Hot!' were probably my 2 favorites of his.😁👍👍

Love Jerry Reed ♥️🇺🇸♥️

He wrote and played guitar on a song Elvis Presley covered called "Guitar Man". Jerry wrote the song "Tupelo Mississippi Flash" about Elvis.

Jerry is one of the best picker ever

When I was about 14 I saw him in concert he was amazing

The bird by jerry reed is hilarious if you understand other old country references

Jerry did write it. ;-) Always love listening to Jerry Reed! Thanks, Don! ;-)

When I was a kid I lived in Flagstaff and there were only 3 radio stations, one rock, one country and one churchy. There was this one song I heard and I loved it so much, but hardly heard it again since the time it was popular. It was called Della and the Dealer and it made a huge impression on me at the age of like 14

Great song! He sure did some fun songs!

Goes without saying. But this is better than any of the shit that's labeled "country" music now.

You should listen to his songs like 500 miles from home, a thing called love, a womans love, and other more serious songs. He had a great voice, and endless guitar talen. I like the one he did, the lightening rod. Check him out, beyond the comedy. He loved life. Elvis actually got him to record guitar man with him on guitar when Elvis did the comeback show. Jerry was fishing on the river. He came straight to the recording studio. Elvis wanted that guitar sound, the guys told him that only Jerry could do that. Nobody else could do it exactly like Jerry did. So, thats what Elvis wanted, and the rest is history. Jerry wouldve lived longer if he hadnt been a cigarett smoker. One of the most talented people in Nashville.

Jerry Reed. Big Boss. Check out Jeff bridges “maybe I missed the point”. Such a great country song. And Jeff bridges is pretty great.

I love Jerry R - very versatile musician and actor - totally agreed with all you said and its so good to hear and see all these singers for first time for me on here xx

Jerry Reed also played the coach on Waterboy

Any of Marty Robbions cowboy songs would be a great story, also a lot of Johnny Horton also a story teller "North to Alaska" written for the John wayne film by that name. "Springtime in Alaska" the battle of New Orleans - based on that battle in the war of 1812.

You should listen to Jerry Reed's song Patches! Loved skating to this song at the Roller Rink!! I saw Jerry Reed in 1982 at the Yellowstone County Fair in Billings Montana. Great Show!!

Jerry was a FANTASTIC guitar player! BTW, Jerry wrote the song.

You can tell jerry reed likes funk music. I noticed all of his songs are funk like

Guitar God and invented some of the coolest songs that are still dissected today. Him and Chet were great together and taught each other things. Jerry Reed is the man - Don’t forget “The Waterboy” with Adam Sandler. The Coach that scared Fonzie lol

That one is a good one lol and it says Jerry wrote It

He played a great villain in Gator with Burt Reynolds.

damn I was raised on Jerry Reed and all these guys I've heard the song a million times that you're going to love it you guys is the funniest song ever

I’ve always loved this song

Jerry Reed was so much fun. 😂 "Lord Mr Ford" was one of my favorites. I picture a line of cars to the moon and back when someone impatient pulls out to pass and all the cars fall. Then along came "East Bound and Down" that's a great song and Burt Reynolds is a bonus. Another fun song is "Bubba Shot The Jukebox" by Mark Chessnut.

Yeah Jerry Reed was a truck driver with the dog remember and Burt Reynolds and Sally Field was in the T-top Trans Am my favorite freaking car

Look for a video of him singing "PMS I Guess." He never recorded it, but you can find a video of him singing it live.

You mentioned the album, "Georgia Sunshine." To see how talented Jerry is, listen to the title track. Sounds like a country crooner, almost a country version of Dean Martin. Jerry could do it all.

Love Jerry Reed. He was a heck of a musician. I love the video of his version of City of New Orleans. Snowman could pick the heck out of a guitar.

Love it!

I absolutely love this song! ❤

A true entertainment star. Im still trying to grow sideburns as good!

FYI...Had it not been for Star Wars - Smokey and the Bandit would have been top grossing film of the year!

It was an 77 Pontiac Trans am. Yea, its T-top... Check out sum Cal Smith ~ "Country Bumpkin", John Prine ~ "In spite of ourselves", Dwight Yoakam ~ "Long White Cadillac" Vern Gosdin.... There are Millions!

Helluva guitar picker!

I love this song! Thank You for your reaction!

That’s one of the songs my Mama used to clog to. She used to take me along when I was little. There’s a bunch of old songs I can’t hear with remembering those times. “Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On”(Mel McDaniel) and “Dixie on my Mind” (Hank Jr) are a couple that come to mind. They would be good ones to react to, as well. Or, speaking of Mel, maybe “Louisiana Saturday Night”. Hell, this list could get long quick. Enjoyed the video, I had never watched this performance. Sidenote though, the sheriff didn’t go to check on Amos when he was a boy. It was when he was grown.

love your stuff!!!

Hey waterboy.... *YOURE FIRED*

Aaah gta san andreas memories. Fun song.

I love this song, used to dance my ass off to it as a kid! Still can't help dancing to it even now. The studio version is a little sped up and funkier! Should listen to that version, it also has more grit!

Great artist, great guitarist also.

you should watch the mini movie/music video of Amos Moses on RU-vid

There’s a live version of his song Alabama Wild Man featuring comedian Jerry Clowers you’ve got to see.

Hw was in a lot of movies Water Boy,scoopy Doo,and many others singer,song writer,actor Wold guitar player! So talent! Naturtal

Love this song. My favorites of his are She got the goldmine, I got the shaft. And When you're hot you're hot

Thank you brandin

Jerry did write the song

Damn...forgot all about that one. We played it in the dorm in 1979 and it was old then. There was another verse or two in the released copy...I think.

Reed was one of the coolest guys I've ever met. He wasn't acting in Smokey And The Bandit. That's the way he was in real life. He used to come to Vanderbilt University basketball games when my cousin played there back in the late 70's and early 80's. That's how I met him. You need to listen to Guitar Man. Elvis also recorded it.

One of my favorite songs he wrote is A THING CALLED LOVE although he never sang it big hit for Johnny Cash!

Y'all can clap, I'm through!!! LOL.

Primus did a cover of this song. bassist, Les Claypool's bass line on it is legendary. something i would HIGHLY recommend giving a listen to. also, Jim Varney, yes Earnest P. Worrel, sang a song called Hot Rod Lincoln, i think you should react to that as well

Jerry and Burt Reynolds had a long history, check out Gator McCluskey! Theme song for Burts movie, Gator! He goes back to the swamp!

Jerry wrote this and close to 400 songs

Jerry was great.

Yep. The song was written by Jerry Reed.

You should react to Jerry playing the guitar he was good

Great song written by Jerry Reed, but it was his pickin’ that made this an all-time country classic, which this video doesn’t demonstrate that at all. Sometimes, prior preparation helps.

Bro today is the first time I heard this song. I can’t stop listening to it. It’s the best

would Love to see him pickin that guitar

If you want a random funny song, check out Tennessee Bird Walk by Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan.

One thing you can be sure of. Alligators ate the sheriff, one way or another. Live or in pieces. Dinner or bait.

Jerry did write Amos Moses FYI.

Also was the opposing football coach in waterboy

Watch him play on guitar. He’s amazing. Bravado for days.

Amarillo By Morning...

Love me some damn Jerry Reed🤗 How about some excellent old traditional country Porter Wagner ‘Satisfied Mind’

❤

A song you should react to is “Cheaper To Keep Her” by a Canadian “Aaron Lines” from Fort McMurray..... I,m sure you’ll love it
