We love everything Jerry Reed did. But most of all I love Amazon.com. I am not a big spender, but what I have purchased from Amazon.com has been done very enjoyable. I did have one mishap but that was totally my own fault. THANKS AMAZON.COM for everything.

This is a good album, especially for the price. There are only ten songs on it, but a nice selection of his music. There are even a few ballads; "Remembering" and "I Love You, What Can I Say" which I either had never heard before, or haven't in a long time. If you are used to hearing songs of his like "She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)" these ballads will be a pleasant surprise. Jerry Reed was a much more versatile artist than his most well known hits would lead people to believe. A good album for the classic country fan who wants a break from the Nashville sound.
February 16, 2008liked his older hits, AMOS MOSES & WHEN YOURE HOT YOURE HOT, from the early seventies, plus east bound and down. tell em, jerry!!!
July 16, 2004I grew up watching him playing the SnowMan in "smokey and the bandit" and the songs of that movie grew on me so much i love them to this very day!
Unfortunalty only one from that movie appears on this album "East bound and down" but from that i took a gamble on seeing if any of his other work outside of that movie was any good, and i was pleased with the result!
These songs are great, if your into this sound and brand, then this sure is a great album to have! just too bad it didnt contain the songs from "smokey and the bandit"
but still the only country and western muso i like! March 18, 2004
Jerry Reed's a comic, but don't ever forget he is a fine guitarist first and foremost. Not just funny lyrics here. Lots of great licks to enjoy, too.
