Jerry Reed - The Claw  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. Jaytech (675)   ranked 1 out of 1 in jerry reed 6 years ago

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.

Yes i remember him in that movie didn´t he drive the truck, well also know him being a musician in country style but the fact is i didn´t see him yet´ in that kind of action. That´s really a cool tune his playing there with the fellows behind him sounds pretty awesome when thinking i should play that tune, god heaven´s, even he takes a deep breath after his play.. ha.. but i have to try geting such kind of lines into my ear and play them in slow motion or i would turn into a maniac... lol

great sharing Jay!!! enjoyed it very. i just gonna watch it again and watch a little closer... marvelous him playing that on a nylon acoustic, what a talent.

I never answered your question sorry, yes he was a truck driver as was Burt Reynolds. In the car chases throughout the film, the fast country music was also Jerry in action


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yeah the music was great... i just remember Sally Field played in that movie, i have to see this one again that´s so funny with the elefant and the car chases. Did you listen to the Instumental song i sent you at last or do you don´t like these kind of instrumentals??? Hope you got the e-mail.

As far as I recall, I only received the one from you, I know you sent another, but I never got it. I forgot to mention that too you. My memory is getting bad in my old age lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Old age??? your kidding i saw on your profile 40 so i´m only 3 years younger we both are more young i would say.
About the e-mail i just sent it again well it said it was on

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.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Jaytech (675)   ranked 1 out of 1 in jerry reed  6 years ago

Heh, you love it :P


myLot reputation of 96/100. Jaytech (675)   ranked 1 out of 1 in jerry reed  6 years ago

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
