In the age of Disneyfied crap like Hannah Montana and High School Musical, nobody would recognize Jerry Reed. Hell, I doubt even the Toby Keith’s redneck brigade recognize what a great guitar player and songwriter Jerry Reed was.

However, I am saddened by the loss. One less talented artist dead in a year where too many talented artists have died and way too many new talented artists goes unrecognized and underappreciated.

Sadly, alot of the “good ol boys” are gone. Jerry will be, as the rest of them are, remembered by we, the old people. Granted I know the new country singers have their ways but none can ever compare to the singers that paved the way for them. Conway, Loretta, Ernest, Faron, Tammy, George, just way to many to name. My love for the OLD COUNTRY music runs deep and I am saddened that it will soon be just a memory. My prayers go out to Jerry’s family…God Bless

“theirs alot of talk going around today, bout cigarette smoking whittling your life away” That was a line from a funny Reed song, to bad its so true. Jerrys music was that of a heart felt guitar picker and a humorist. He had a variety show that was just good ole down home fun, and his movies, well he seemed to take the spotlight, he will be forever missed by me and all his fans, God bless u Jerry, and keep on keeping on in Heaven !
