I adored listening to Jerry Reed growing up. Everything from Amos Moses, East Bound and Down, Guitar Man, When You're Hot You're Hot and Alabama Wild Man just to name a few.
there is a version of this song where both Jerry Reed and Dolly Parton make this song a duet , you hear both the male & the female version of what happened.
Wonderful reaction guys. Jerry Reed is absolutely hilarious always has been. Keith just for you and for off channel not for on channel there is video out there of Jerry Reed talking about the time he flew in an F-16. I will promise you that if you watch it you will laugh so hard you will hurt yourself. It is not musical however. It's just him talking if one of his shows. And Jerry Reed eastbound and down. Fantastic reaction guys I'm really enjoyed tonight's show although Dustin I don't know what your fascination is with that one damn door.
The guitar intro on Amos Moses is Jerry Reed at his funky best. Not only that but the story is a humorous one as well. Now I know that you guys have listened to songs by the country supergroup The Highwaymen with Waylon Jennings but did you know that Waylon was also in another supergroup with Jerry Reed, Mel Gillis and Bobby Bare called Old Dogs? And just like The Highwaymen they also had two albums. Most of those saws are comedic and as you can expect, coming out in their latter years, the songs are mostly about growing old. So, just because of the talent involved, and the fact that y'all ain't spring chickens yourselves, you might want to check out some of those songs, ones like "You're Still Gonna Die"-"I Never Expected" and "Alimony". ✌
One of my dad's favorites. He just passed away. Searching reactions to his top country guitar players and story tellers.he had a sense of quality and humor and he loved his bourbon. Thanks guys keep digging
I recommend Alabama Jubilee, The Preacher and the Bear, Georgia on My Mind, Wayfaring Stranger, St. James Infirmary, Lord Mr. Ford, Guitar Man, U. S. Male, 8 More Miles to Louisville, Talk About the Good Times, and Georgia Sunshine.
Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, and a few other country, rockabilly, etc were doing things on the guitar decades before hard rock and metal guys were doing it, but they had to do it with much more precision due to the far cleaner tone in their style of music. And they make it look effortless. Apparently Chet Atkins even influenced George Harrsion's music when Harrison got ahold of his father's old Atkins albums. But anyway, there's a video out there of Reed and Atkins just shredding on their guitars in the most laid back, low-key way you can imagine. You guys should check it out.
Jerry is one of only about 5 total that Chet awarded as certified Guitar pickers. He wrote guitar man and when Elvis covered it the studio Pickers couldn't get it to sound like Jerry's version and they told him if you want tit to sound like Jerry Your Gonna have to get Jerry to pick it. and that's what he did . Jerry played on Elvis's cover of his own song.
Most of Jerry Reed's biggest hits had a humorous edge to them, like 'When You're Hot Yu're Hot You're Hot, 'Huggin' and a-Chalkin,' and my favorite, 'Lord Mister Ford."
yeah Jerry Reed is a definate, Amos Moses, East Bound and Down, They Call you the Bandit, The Legend, When you are hot you are hot, Lord Mr Ford, among many others!!!!
I love Jerry Reed ... his playing, singing, humor, acting ... I can't believe Dustin has not heard of Jerry Reed. Has he not seen any of the Smokey and the Bandit movies??
He must have been born under a rock. I had the pleasure of meeting and having about a 15 minute conversation with Jerry Reed back when I was a teen. He was funny and very down to earth.
Goodbye Turkey my attorney will be in touch I still laugh at the sad part is still works like this today in divorce court. That is Jerry on the guitar he was an awesome player so underrated
FYI ... Keith had mentioned Mark Knopfler on one of the videos, unfortunately I can't recall which one. Keith, you need to see the video of Mark Knopfler playing an instrumental with Chet Atkins, if you haven't viewed it already.
You could have told them that Jerry Reid was in smoking the bandit and he would have known It is most likely but Jerry Reid is just awesome love his music.
just a little back story on Jerry Reed ..he was born in Georgia and raised in Alabama..hence the nickname "alabama wildman"..he also played on alot of Elvis' tracks...Elvis refused to record unless he had Jerry pickin for him..not on every track but if i recall it was 2 albums...lastly not only is Jerry a helluva guitar picker and singer but also a incredible actor ..you mentioned Roy Clark , he was a distant cousin to me ..he was always around the small town i grew up in playing jam sessions on the weekends ...want to be amazed ? watch his flamenco style picking
Great tune, good reaction... if that damn door wouldn't have been wide open and I could have concentrated on the reaction instead of that door.. I mean.. cmon guys... just shut the door Keith.. lmao. It's so funny when Dustin throws the door fit.. haha. You two are a good combo... !!! 🤣😂
Wanna make a Marine excited mentioned a Uber ride on a Air Craft carrier, Navy bell bottoms, names on the back of trousers, and crayons. It's a dream come true.
G'day boys, yep, some blokes are a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to that particular lasso... been engaged a few times but never put the noose on, though it came close a couple of times... the first was about a month out, the prick got a bit handy so I walked, sent the brothers and their mates to sort out my gear... the last one, the ol' girl got really crook, he copped a dose of the sooky-la-la's over it, but she was a tough old boiler and pulled through, I told him not to be there when I get back from doing the dutiful daughter thing, he was gone and I've been much happier ever since... and I've never had the "single girl blues" over any of it... ;)) p.s. a couple of requests for the pile, just to keep you going for a bit... "Sorry I Asked" Beccy Cole "Single Girl Blues" by Beccy Cole "Poster Girl (on the wrong side of the world)" Beccy Cole "Rest In Pieces" Beccy Cole "Girls Night Out" Gina Jeffreys "Dancing With Elvis" Gina Jeffreys "Boys From The Bush" Lee Kernaghan "Outback Club" Lee Kernaghan "Planet Country" Lee Kernaghan "Country Is" Troy Cassar-Daley "Chasin' Rodeo" Troy Cassar-Daley "Take A Walk in My Country" Troy Cassar-Daley "I Wish I Was A Train" Troy Cassar-Daley ft Paul Kelly
I remember many years ago I heard a comedian named Lewis Grizzard say "I'm not gonna get married no more, I'm just gonna go out every 3 to 4 years, find a woman I can't stand and buy her a house!"
If you want to hear the best of Jerry's guitar listen to guitar man by Elvis Presley . Jerry wrote the song and they couldn't find anyone else that could play it so they got Jerry to play it
You should try some songs by the group Old Dogs. That's Jerry Reed, Bobby Bare, Waylon Jennings, and Mel Tillis. I like I Never Expected To Live This Long, Still Gonna Die, Time, Cut The Mustard, She'd Rather Be Homeless.
He don't know Jerry Reed? So, I guess he's never seen Smokey & The Bandit then either? Jerry Reed drove the semi in that movie with his basset hound "Fred", and did the songs in it too. East Bound & Down, etc.
I love East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed. I have seen a cover by Midland on one of the award shows which was a tribute to Burt and Jerry after they had passed. The guitarist in the band stated how nervous he was doing the guitar work for that song because he did not want to mess it up. I am no Keith, but I think he did a good job. They even did the split sceen of both the guitarist like the original.
I think you’d like Mac Davis “It’s hard to be humble” and Pistol Annie’s singing Trailer for rent, Miranda Lambert has a great video for her song my mammas broken heart…
He could play the heck out of a guitar. You should react to Moses David, When Your Hot Your Hot, East Bound and Down, but Tupelo Mississippi Flash is the one I think you'd like. It's from 1967ish. Maybe 68.
It's unfortunate when a video isn't included when a great guitar player is involved. I saw one of Jerry, Roy Clark and Glen Campbell. The 3 best of our time here on earth.
I used to baby sit for them. Unfortunately learned last year, that their daughter, died last year from over dose, at a party from fyntenal. I always worried she'd end up like them, and her younger brother is serving life, for manslaughter!
When my husband got divorced from his ex he could not afford an attorney. He told the judge he was representing himself. The judge told him he had a fool for a client
Stephen! My future bourbon hubby? This song is hilarious but sadly accurate. Too many women take advantage of men. I joke that Stephen is my bourbon hubby but that's us joking around. I go into a relationship with what's mine and leave with what's mine. Again funny song but for the men of this world, all too accurate. The bourbon looks beautiful! I've never had honey infused, I got confused because I had a honey dew melon (aka mush melon, lol the green cantaloupe)bourbon and it had just the right amount of the fruit to make it sweet but end with that smooth burn mmmmmm! anyway....might run to the liquor store this afternoon and see if they have Garrison Brothers. I live in the sticks so the store is small, so I just have to go look but I think I will. Correct me if I'm wrong but when Dustin asked "What was that" yes some of it was guitar but I heard some brush on the percussion... Y'all are just hilarious. I swear I thought Keith said too drunk to hover, had to rewind to hear Uber...y'all need to take this on the road. Y'all are hilarious and would make a ton of money! Not to mention making the bars money. The mixed drink recipe, try it with violet syrup instead of lavender. Gently wash your violets before garnishing. 😀 I found cowboy hats for y'all🤠. Dustin, the one for you had a lil bottles of bourbon around the band. Tastefully done, not gaudy. Keith yours was camo and velvet. Seriously thought about buying them but too afraid I'd be murdered in my sleep 😉 Another surgery yesterday. 2 more to go. I'm doing fine. Lots of pain and I'm bruised but I'm going to be okay. Thank you as always for the giggles! I really needed to laugh!
Enjoying your reactions. Just found your channel. I think you should revisit Jamey Johnson and try Lead Me Home or Alison Krauss with maybe one of her songs with Robert Plant or one with Union Station.
The door is open! I am divorced 2 times, I never took my husbands to the cleaners. In fact we were always friendly. I just wanted out. This third time is the charm.
There's a couple things I tell all young men who think they want to get married. Of course women want to get married. There's no downside for them. Most of them can come out better off than they were going in. There's a %100 chance that you will not come out better off than you were going in.....so you better be sure about it.
