So who is Jerry Reed? This is a question I get asked time & time again by people either not in the know. Or non musicians. Have you ever seen the movie with Burt Reynolds "Smokey & The Bandit?" Well Jerry Reed is his buddy with the sunglasses in these movies. BUT he is more well known in places like Nashville as a guitarist, & a very good one, dare I say incredible? He has also worked with many famous guitarists such as Chet Atkins to name just one. So in typical Jaytech style, I can't leave this post without sharing some Jerry Reed in action so lets go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rDjcckZRVI

Jerry's cool in the movies, but I just can't force myself to listen to much country. Some I like, but most of it makes my ears bleed. So quit trying to kill me already.

A lot of people see Country as Country & Western, there's a huge difference, unfortunately Jerry seems to cover both areas. So even I'm fussy as to what I'll listen to by him, I just appreciate his solo guitar stuff
