Jerry Reed is an amazing an under-recognized talent with the guitar. Yes, he was the coach in "The Waterboy" but probably best known as the truck driver in the '77 movie, "Smokey and the Bandit" featuring a '77 Trans Am and Burt Reynolds/Sally Fields. Need to watch the movie and the song will make a lot more sense.
If you've never seen it, you should watch Smokey and the Bandit. This song was for that movie. Try Jerry Reed-Amos Moses, Lord Mr Ford or (and) She Got the Goldmine (I got the Shaft)!
Yeah it is short. Though there is actually Two songs (Eastbound & Down / westbound & Down). (which I only recently learned myself) Granted, they are pretty similar. (not quite "identical") But I think if they had released the entire thing as ONE song, it would've been fine. (in length) But I still love it anyways.
If you thought the song was too short, there is actually a sequel song that was written for the sequel of Smokey and The Bandit. Song's called Texasbound and Flying. Very similar song.
Yes, Jerry Reed was in the movie Smokey and the Bandit. He was the trucker. Here's a live version of Jerry singing it. Hope you enjoy! ruclips.net/video/8QAEmCuBnck/видео.html
You are SO right--the song is too short, but some fun songs are like that--they make you want more. You are also right about the up-tempo-it is infectious--but you surprised me giving a thumbs-up to ol' Jerry's vocals--the late guitar cat would have appreciated that, I'm sure. 😄
He wrote the song Guitar Man for Elvis and played acoustic guitar on it. He was costar of Burt Reynolds in the movie classic comedy Smokey And The Bandit.
This is a classic that's not played enough. Reid wrote this on the fly for the movie in one night. Talented man. RIP
This song tells the story of and is in the movie “Smokey And The Bandit”.
Tons of fun late 70’s movie
Thanks for reacting to
Jerry Reed. One of the greatest guitarists .

He was the coach in Waterboy. He also played guitar for Elvis on Guitar Man which was Jerry’s song.

@@jimbeam2299 yep. And the song this movie was written for was the first Smokey and The Bandit movie.
Jerry Reed is a singer, songwriter, guitar player, member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and yes an actor.
You put this song on in the car, and you're gonna start speeding, if you're not already. It's perfect car chase music.
He was in Smokey and the Bandit. The truck driver,Snowman.

Jerry made another good song called Amos Moses. Please react to it if you can :)
Snowman and Bandit are up there being eternally chased by Sheriff Buford T Justice 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Truckers anthem, hell yeah, I like that.
Reed did a lot of good songs. Most of them upbeat and a little tongue in cheek. "Amos Moses" was a good one. "Lord Mr. Ford" was really funny.
Smokey and the bandit is one of the best movies
Yeah. I like it too.
Have you seen the video of guitar man with elvis and jerry reed
