My step-father had a Jerry Reed greatest hits 8-track in the late 70s… this one and Amos Moses were the ones I wore out. He had a lot of fun songs without being cheesy…like Stafford could get.
i agree- Reed was funny- but a great musician also.
I haven’t met a guitar player who can play his licks note for note. Many heavy metal guys I’ve played with love him.
I miss his music and that crazy sense of humor.
