Jerry Reed - The Essential Jerry Reed (1995)

Episode Summary

SON! Pioneer of "trucker country," Jerry Reed, turns out, falls in my sweet spot. The man was rapping (albeit with a country twang) before that was a thing, could finger-pick his way out of a wet burlap sack, and was pretty damn funny while doing so.

Episode Notes

SON!

Pioneer of "trucker country," Jerry Reed, turns out, falls in my sweet spot. The man was rapping (albeit with a country twang) before that was a thing, could finger-pick his way out of a wet burlap sack, and was pretty damn funny while doing so.

I generally don't care for my music and humor intertwined (see:Tenacious D), but apparently if the songs deliver, caution to the wind.

He is probably best remembered for playing second-fiddle to Burt Reynolds in the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies these days, but the man could deliver a hook.

Can't promise that my good buddies (breaker 1-9) on the show will rise to my level of enthusiasm, but that's their loss. Tune in and figger' out why Jerry Reed's "Essential" compilation earns its moniker.

That's a good 10-4,
Ryan

SON! You best be gettin' on down to Amazon to pick this one up!
