The humor in this song is a perfect indication of Jerry's personality, as was his character in Smokey and the Bandit. And yes, he was known as a top notch guitar player. I think there's one video with him, Glen Campbell and Roy Clark together. That's 3 of the greatest players ever.
Jerry Reed was a singer, songwriter, guitarist & actor who appeared in more than a dozen films. His most famous was in "Smokey & The Bandit" in 1977. He also sang the theme song from that movie "East Bound & Down". He had a lot of hit songs such as "Guitar Man", "U.S. Male", "A Thing Called Love", "Alabama Wild Man", "When You're Hot, You're Hot", "Ko-Ko Joe", "Lord, Mr. Ford", "The Bird", "She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft)" etc.
I loved Jerry Reed! He was such an incredible, talented performer - there was nothing he couldn't do, and an appearance of his was always fun. You can't go wrong with any of his songs, but some favorites are "When You're Hot You're Hot" and "She Got The Goldmine, I Got The Shaft".
One of my favorite Jerry Reed songs. "The Claw" is an instrumental that really shows off his guitar work. Some of my other favorites: The Bird Alabama Jubilee Guitar Man It is fun watching you pursue Jerry Reeds amazing portfolio of hits. Have a great day.
I love to listen to Jerry Reed's songs...especially if you're having a bad day. They will brighten your day. Here's a live performance "Jerry Reed - City Of New Orleans" Fun Reaction thanks so much 👍
OMG You have blessed me with so much joy playing and reacting to this song! Probably have not heard it in 30 years! I was all of 12 when it hit the charts and everybody loved it! The music is virtually impossible to sit still to when you’re listening to it. It just can’t be done! And the look on your face was priceless when it got to the line “ When Amos Moses was a boy his father would use him for alligator bait!!" 🤣🤣🤣 Jerry Reed was one of a kind. Like you said his storytelling and humor were fabulous! Thanks again for choosing this song! And while I’m here… I’ll put in a request, if you’ve never seen it yet, for the song “Monsters”’ by James Blunt. I would love to see you react to that. Just don’t read anything at all about the song itself before you listen to it. Keep doing what you do, we love you ❤
Jerry Reed is a great guitarist and a master storyteller. Please, check out his story about the time he rode in US Air Force F16 fighter jet. It’s a bit lengthy at approximately 17 minutes but, well worth the time. I will almost guarantee your sides will be hurting from laughing so hard. Y’all have a great day. Michael Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Other songs by him include; "Guitar man"(it really showcases his picking talents) "She got the gold mine" '"Good Lord Mr Ford" "Koko Joe" and more serious song, "Thing Called Love"
Jerry Reed is one of my Favorite singers, so glad I saw this. You gotta check out his songs, "Today Is Mine", "Remembering", "You'd Better Take Time", "A Thing Called Love", "Ko-Ko Joe", "Alabama Wild Man", "Another Puff", I could go on forever, Jerry's whole catalog is a favorite for me. My folks can attest to that. One of the best singers, songwriters, and of course guitarists ever.
So excited to see this notification but timing sucks bc I'm not in an environment I can watch at the moment. Something to look forward to later. Been waiting on this one!
Jerry wrote Elvis's hit, "Guitar Man. " Elvis couldn't find anyone to play the guitar sound that he wanted. He ended up getting Jerry Reed. You should listen to the story that Jerry told about meeting Elvis. It's hilarious!
Son! The Alabama Wildman. When Elvis recorded Jerry Reed's "Guitar Man" in 1968 he was dissatisfied with the guitar work he was getting during the session. Elvis said "I want it to sound like Jerry Reed's version", and someone told him "If you want it to sound like Jerry Reed you gotta get Jerry Reed, cause no one else plays like that". So Elvis dispatched his people to find Jerry Reed and bring him in to play on the session. They found Jerry in a bass boat in the middle of an Alabama lake 😅.
I believe he did the whole soundtrack in Smokey and the Bandit, check out Another Puff by Jerry Reed, also When you're hot you're hot is a good one. One of the best guitarist
Jerry is a must see live. His hilarious, care-free way is infectious, but, Jerry was also a Master Guitarist! His storytelling and personality is what you typically get from us Cajuns!
I've seen other people on here request "She Got The Goldmine & I've Got The Shaft" I want to add my vote as well, Jerry Reed was in the Adam Sandler movie The Waterboy.
I remember this song from a hundred years ago! Poor Amos, lost half an arm! 💪🐊 It's best if you listen to JR by record version. Live, you miss all the little things.
One of my favorites by Jerry! A similar swamp song that's just as good is The Legend of Wooley Swamp, by the great Charlie Daniels... although the storyline is much darker!
Any and all the suggestions for more Jerry are worth checking out. My favorite of his is "East Bound and Down", which I know you've already heard. Anything Jerry does is gold - and his sense of humor is fantastic! Not ashamed to admit I cried like a toddler whose dog stole their ice cream cone when he died. Ah, but his talent and laugh will stay in my memories forever. Thanks for bringing him back, much appreciated!
Jerry Reed was an awesome actor, singer and entertainer! Check out Falling in Love for the Night, Charlie Daniels Band. It's from the movie Urban Cowboy. Really good movie.
GTA 4 radio was the first time I had ever heard this song. I honestly thought it was something made for the game after I started listening to the words.
Great review as usual! There are two other really good songs by Jerry Reed I hope you will review I think you will really like them. One is called, "When you're hot you're hot". And the other one is called "Framed".
This very song from Jerry, and Charlie Pride love songs... These were the first songs I was putting into my young, mushy kid brain! These days, I'm sure the PC nannies would have my Mom in chains for such mal-treatment.😮 Not sure how long it took me to find Thibodaux on the map.
Definitely great story telling, even though I didn't care much for the story. If you haven't done it yet, "Remember When" by Alan Jackson is a great choice.
I met Jerry Reed in 1988. Got my mom his autograph. She was so happy. He was great.
“If You’re Hot You’re Hot” is fire
The humor in this song is a perfect indication of Jerry's personality, as was his character in Smokey and the Bandit. And yes, he was known as a top notch guitar player. I think there's one video with him, Glen Campbell and Roy Clark together. That's 3 of the greatest players ever.
She got the gold mine I got the shaft is a great Jerry Reed song.
Yes. One of my many favorites from him. So many to chose from
Love your reactions! If you like Jerry Reed, you should give “She Got the Gold Mine, I Got the Shaft” a listen to!
Yes, please.
Awesome tune look for The Preacher and the Bear by Jerry Reed
Love Jerry, he is just plain ol' fun😀Don't forget " When You're Hot, You're Hot! Its another fun song.
I think that is my favorite Jerry Reed song.

Another comedic song from Jerry is one called "The Preacher And The Bear". Great reaction as usual.
Jerry Reed was one a kind.
A traditional country story telling song about one unique man, lol.
He sounds like he had fun singing it.
A handsome, sexy and gifted entertainer. And fun to watch him perform.
I loved Jerry Reed! He was such an incredible, talented performer - there was nothing he couldn't do, and an appearance of his was always fun. You can't go wrong with any of his songs, but some favorites are "When You're Hot You're Hot" and "She Got The Goldmine, I Got The Shaft".
incredible musician, but I always enjoyed just how 'fun' he was!
Jerry Reed's one of the most versatile country singer.
The Preacher and The Bear by him should be next! It’s just as fun as this one❣️
I still have this 45 rpm. Another 45 rpm I have of Jerry Reed is When your hot, you're Hot.
SO glad you did this one! One of my longtime favorites. : )

He sure could tell a story! Thanks for sharing!
I remember listening to Jerry Reed as a kid and singing along. He had such fun songs. One to listen to is "When You're Hot You're Hot".
I love him. I think he should of gotten more credit as a singer, song writer, storyteller and actor. Can't wait to hear more!☮️
She got the gold mine is priceless. Haha. He was such a natural story teller, entertainer, musician and actor. Awesome man!!
I love this song. Great reaction.
I highly recommend another Jerry Reed song called "The Bird".

“She got the goldmine” is his funniest in my opinion

He could act, sing, write songs and play the guitar..
Great Reaction. Please check out Jerry Reed singing "She Got the Goldmine". You'll love it.
If there was every a singer/songwriter, actor, world class musician I’d want to know, it would be one Jerry Reed. Coolest guy.
I've seen other people on here request "She Got The Goldmine & I've Got The Shaft" I want to add my vote as well, Jerry Reed was in the Adam Sandler movie The Waterboy.
