My father managed Jerry Reed from the 1960's thru the mid 1980's and Chet Atkins from the 1960's until his death. I was privileged myself to perform on the same nights at the Grand Ole' Opry as Jerry and have him on my Las Vegas shows as a special guest. The boy could shred it.... in Nashville we called Chet the Methodist, and Jerry the Charismatic
The thing about accomplished players who have mutual respect for each other is, how apparent it is that everyone is genuinely having a good time making music together.
B.B. King's tone is just unearthly. Doesn't matter what he's playing, doesn't matter who he's playing with, one note and you know B.B. King is in the house.
Jerry Reed, man that takes me back. A long gone era of story telllers and entertainers. He was talented, funny, and incredibly genuine. He always came to enjoy the show just as much as the audience.
Back when music was entertainment was enjoyable to watch. No rude clothing or vile words and lyrics. Both class acts.
Let be clear on one thing, Jerry Reed is the most underrated guitar player ever. He is not only a great fingerstyle guitarist, but an innovator as well. Miss you Jerry
Had the privledge of seeing B.B. and Chet Atkins in very intimate environments... both were Mark Twain-level story tellers and their respective musicianship blew me away in person. And Jerry... legendary, influential player. Legends... all of them.
Jerry Reed. Just downright fun to listen to every time. Never heard him with B.B. before. A real treat
Jerry didn't start acting until he was well known for his music.
Beautiful! There is always so much happiness on stage when Jerry Reed is involved.
We've lost so many of these greats in recent years. Thank you for recognizing them and exposing younger people to their great talent
Don't know how I missed this. Think we have a new genre here: smooth country swing jazz. I loved how BB King was always so relaxed with every one he played with. He was always himself.
jerry was east bound and down, loaded up and truckin on this one
I love, love, love Jerry Reed.
Jerry Reed and B.B. King are two great gentlemen and legendary guitarists that I will always have tremendous respect and admiration for. Such really nice down to earth people that can never be replaced. Rest In Peace gentlemen.
Bless BB he was playing up untill he passed away ,brilliant,😊
I love how these two are absolute legends but there is zero showing off here. Both of them are purely focused on the music.

We never took our eye off his guitar, writing songs and singing. Acting was something that happened later in his career and we enjoyed it too.
My uncle tried to make it touring and recording country in late 50s and 60s. I posted before he said he got to cut a record and Jerry was his session guitarist but next time he got in studio he was rhythm guitar for Jerry whose star was rising. He said he got to be in studio after Jerry got big and Jerry was trying to get a sound he wanted way down on the frets. According to uncle Jerry got up, cut a v in the guitar, played a bit and threw the guitar aside. 20 years later uncle still sounded sad and said he was poor and struggling to keep a good guitar and Jerry could use the guitar and toss it aside because guitar companies gave him guitars for free trying to get Jerry Reid to use their product. Uncle had a lot of stories.
