east bound and down(jerry reed)chris leblanc and pickinpop a

[spencerh72]

Very cool, boys!

[Welesly77]

decent cover : ) I prefer the lower guitar solos better than the high mandolin (not sure if that's what that is, but sounds like it), but sounds very good : ) Solos are good also, just prefer the sound of a guitar for this song : )

[VonDreadnought]

Yeah...east or west....this is the best version on youtube of this song...nice vocal´s...!!

[GTTeancum]

Wow, I really dig this version. You should go into a studio and lay this down.

[1958wvpicker]

[electricuncledave]

well done! a great version of a great song, can't believe how many people haven't actually seen the film, and are criticising the lyrics, nice one!

[mrkncr]

I'd have to say ,that, after all this time this is the best "in the groove" versions of this song posted.

[pickinpop]

@mrkncr thanks we had fun playing this, this was the second time we played and it was oof the cuff non rehearsed and my first day with the new godin mndolin. thanks again for watching and commenting

[ramonp2]

west bound? the name of the song is east bound and down fucko

[pickinpop]

@ramonp2 reed sings 2 version , west to get the coors beer nand east to go back home, watch the movie before u show your ignorance by calling names. very immature of you

[wadam62]

ok then im not ganna fuss

[wadam62]

wtf west bound u messed it all up

[pickinpop]

they went west to get the coors beer, then east to bring it back, jerry reed sang it both ways, watch the movie before you make stupid comments

[hshmanowin]

@pickinpop Even me, a german nerd, knows that there are two versions of the song. One for driving to Texarkana, picking up the beer and one for driving back home to Atlanta. :) East bound and west bound... Poor wadam62 =P In Germany the movie is called "ein ausgekochtes Schlitzohr" (trans.: a case-hardened rascal?). Since about 3 years i look at this video and get in a good mood. Realy great job, guys. Greets from GER.

[davearonow]

hey guys, great job!!!

Love this song.

Mr.Mandolin player, sorry, I dont know your name, but I wonder is that a Godin Mandolin? Looks like it in the video but it is hard to tell. If so, how do you like it? Thinking about buying one. I can get a good deal on one that has been hanging in a little mom and pop shop that has been there quite a while.

Anmyway guys, great jammin, and take it easy.

[ljdgm]

awsome movie man love the song!!! rock on jerry reed!!!!RIP

[asecobra]

Why are they singing WEST bound AND down?

[pickinpop]

because they went west to get the coors beer, if u watch the movie you will hear west bound and down as they are going to buy the beer, then on the way back they sing east bound and down, hope you enjoyed the music, thanks for watching

[not2well2]

very talented, but not as good as the original like some say, but great !!!

[krawithan]

very nice!

I used to sing this to my coworkers over the nextell when I drove delivery truck.lol good times thanks for such good cover

[australiano1980]

[MrStubb74]

Great performance of a great song. Sounds really great. I really love it. All best wishes to you!!

[pickinpop]

thanks mrstubb for watching and commenting , we appreciate it

[TheBandit77TransAm]

yeah it was a misunderstanding. sorry though. yeah i hope so too!!

[pickinpop]

im so happy that everyone is ok now, as i stated in the beginning the mandolin player is so sexy , thats what is important here hahahahahaha

[TheBandit77TransAm]

ok i said sorry for still doing this. i didnt see the comment that you made about getting this over with and finishing it. it didnt show up. i thought you two were still arguing. ok? sorry about that. we cool? sorry about it.

[TheBandit77TransAm]

oh im sorry the comments finishing off the argument did not show up. and actually you are i knew what was going on. i made myself look like an idiot? you did, and always will be. look i said sorry you dumbass.

[TheBandit77TransAm]

oh sorry you mean the "west bound and down part"....well that was part of the movie....so he did not make it up. sorry about that.

[TheBandit77TransAm]

he didnt make up his own words you idiot. those are the original words you dumbass.

[TheBandit77TransAm]

actually it is basically the best

but i do like the claw.....or jerrys breakdown and alambama jubilee....but stop being an ass to this guy.........he played this song pretty well.

[jiim0gnr0crow0fan]

hey you guys are so cool,an you all sound great love the song,,an of course love the smokey movies,,,iv lost that transam set up a road block!!!luv your work guys

[mikedh9]

great cover. thanks! really good voice.

[pickinpop]

thanks mike

[TheBandit77TransAm]

it is the best. personally i like all of the songs...but yeah it is the best.

[TheBandit77TransAm]

never mind that last comment....i like not most of the east bound and downs....but this one kicks ass.

[red05hemi]

Hell of a cover! Anyone who cant see that, probably shouldn't be commenting! I've only seen 3 of your vid's but I can smell the talent through the computor and I'll be checking out the rest! New fan here!*****

[pickinpop]

im well aware of jerrys songs as i play most of them, i made a statement concerning your music ability or musicbase knowlege as it appears you have no videos displaying yourself playing music, i hope you understand i felt quite insulted to recieve negative comments on a song well played by acoustic musicians that are pretty good musicians sharing our selection of songs to an audience that appreciated the manner in how we delivered the song, if u check its the number 1 viewed cover of this tune

[TheBandit77TransAm]

did you say the boys are thirsty in Seattle???

anyway good job you rule.....best one on youtube (except jerry's of course!!!)!!

[TheBandit77TransAm]

im guessing it is no. 1 viewed cover....but please try the guitar solo next time....best part of the song. you did great!!

[torbod3an]

Pickinpop, thanks for this and all the other videos you have sent me. I enjoy every one of them!

[pickinpop]

thanks torbod3an for stopping by and watching and for you nice comment, makes us feel we are doing the right thing here

[pickinpop]

then you should hate jeery reed that wrote this song because in the movie he had two versions, west bound when they were going to get the coors beer and east bound when they were delivering the beer, do your homework before you critisize ability that you dont have or understand

[stadalberts]

Really good!

[pickinpop]

thanks for watching and commenting

[chirogirl67550]

"....sending this out due to new subs..." You're sending it out, because it is just plain good guitar playing and singin'--and we thank you for it. 5 stars

Yvonne,Bob and Kazandra

Ava,Illinois

[pickinpop]

thanks but it was really coz of the new subs, the little guy ethan2rock shared one of our videos and the subscribers had a pyramid effect so i wanted some of the new people to see this video and blackbird. isnt that a cute mandolin player with the black and white shirt hahahahha

[chirogirl67550]

Yah, that sure is a cute mandolin player with the black and white shirt...he looks like the type of guy that would be married to a really talented singer....that can keep up with his mandolin playing....(smile)

Yvonne

[Freddyguitarslim]

very nice,guys....from one jerry fan to another;never mind them brakes,nce pickin' and singin'!

[pickinpop]

[Freddyguitarslim]

ha,ha,that's some crazy shit....sammy just told me he was thinking of getting some the other day so i had to ask if he was sure and he was.....it dont matter....keep it up!!!!!!

[pickinpop]

[SherifG1]

[Jazzguts]

Hey Pop,great performance, and this is in open air,right? and still hearin all these people chattin through the Music,how's that possible? Nice mandoline solo and very fine close harmony singing,good job greets Vic.

[pickinpop]

most of the noise was from commercial deep fryers thier was about 300 people there outside the state capitol trying to lobby some politicians but even noisy we got some good free food and we had fun

[bandbsmom]

fooey, my last comment got lost in the mail I guess....here goes again:) luv the front porch feeling! this is so great! 5 stars from kansas!

shelly

[pickinpop]

[jerryjff12]

[pickinpop]

[atprojectmusic]

Yeah, this one sounds good...I can finally hear the mandolin...pick it up Dad - don't be shy...sounds good when you can hear that 8 string cuttin through!

[pickinpop]

have u ever known me to be shy? hahahahah its time for you post some of your stuff here so i can tell everyone how talented my son is, be sure to comb your hair hahahahahahahah

[atprojectmusic]

Need to know what kindof camcorder you guys are using to get that video and audio quality. Also what video editing software are you using if you want to lay in the music from studio?

[pickinpop]

that was the sony dvd cam model 305. just camcorder audio, all the latest vids are with the hard drive camcorder also sony im about to do some with recorded audio from the pc. im using powedirector to upload and edit

[Tallbrad]

that smokin complex mandolin makes it hearty, love it..

[d28den]

Great Jobs guys!

[firebirdboy1980]

man thats sound good man u can take the bird out for a spend

[mandolt]

[brisaias]

ok, nice ...

[cornell123]

Really nice! Cheers from sweden

[firebirdboy1980]

lol nice man

[pickinpop]

thanks firebird. keep them wheels a rollin dude!!!!!!!!

[gtrblues]

Great version of a classic. I like the lead singers voice.

[simonc12345]

I saw these guys in a bar in New Orleans, jazz fest' week the year before the big storm. I am all the way from Norwich in the UK. I saw the guys 2 nights running and they were awesome then. I agree with the earlier guy, with the right push and management they would undoubtedly go far.Guys, keep the faith, and if you get a really big break don't let it F-ck you up. Stay true to yourselves,

"you're worth it".

Simon C. Norwich. UK

[pickinpop]

thanks, chris leblanc the larger guy here has a song on his starshine album that he wrote after a big record company flew him to california and wanted him to sign their label, he has stayed true to his family and friends, someday we will all be discovered in the right way and we will give the music to the people the way its supposed to be done

[buzzlehumph]

These guys need a manager, a producer and a backyard cleanup. The talent is there, the organization/showmanship aint. The mandolin - AWESOME, BUDDY! Get your names on your shirts, faces up front, and the Big Time might be there for you. GOOD LUCK!

[1800ccp]

hes a realllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy nice guy

i met him once and my frnds dad is rlly good frnds with him

[yundery1]

omg u axedentily said west bound and down lol

[pickinpop]

in the movie there was a couple of verses about west down also

[ntnfoxworth1]

you ol' boys got it goin on.

[shadowmixx]

Very tastefully done guys

:-)

Thanx 4 postin' and bringin' back memories of one of my favorite movies

'Smokey and the Bandit'

p e a c e

[pickinpop]

thanks, this was the 2nd time we played this song unrehearsed, we had fun playing it live, all of jerry reeds songs are so good u gotta love them

[Hilppaaja]

That's the theme from the film Smokey & the Bandit, originally performed by Jerry Reed one of the film's actors. Not a song of these guys.

[ElPiperone]

Very very good sound! Where can i listen live to this sound? I´m planning a tour through the USA. I´ll visit my uncle in Oklahoma and then i´ll see where i go to.

[pickinpop]

happy new year everyoneand god bless u

[swampboy32904]

wow, that's great!

[lisa92069]

Nice job :)

[JIAFFI]

I need a mp3 files of this... Good job...

[aviranosss]

nice!

[T101series]

Great stuff. Gets yer tappin'

[deobaiano]

awesome guys!

excelent harmony and the vocals are just amazing!!

keep it up!

[assreaper81]

Excellent harmony, great pickin, you guys are awesome! Keep postin the good music fellas!

[lahoward1963]

Now thats what i call back porch pickin. I'm so jealous. Looks like yall have loads of fun playing together. There is always a party at your house. Each year my family drives a couple hours to hear southern gospel fest lot of mandolin playing in those three days. Awesome job guys.

[Swashbuckler1962]

Well Done, Boys!! Well Done!!

[ffsthisisstupid]

To clarify, the east bound v west bound debate. In the film when they are heading to Texarkana the song is West Bound and Down and on the way back to Atlanta it's East Bound and Down.

[Utubepersonz]

no duh, "You tickturd, whatta you know". Buford T. Justice and Snowman rule!!!!!

[deer4me]

Awesome pickin ! I could sit, dance, or watch ya'll for hours. Great voice!

[MrSpliffy]

I love this, great voice. And yeah, the song may be East Bound And Down, but on Smokey And The Bandit on the Journey to Texas it plays "West Bound And Down. 18 Wheels A Rollin'"

Once again, love it

[1999BlackDakotaRT]

Good job boys! Nice pickin on that Mandolin!

[pickinpop]

east, west who cares the mandolin player is so so sexy hahaha im the mandolin player yep thats me pickinpop even burt reynolds would be intimidated

[newfiebassplayer]

Cool but in the song you say west bound instead of east :P

[JSquires11]

It is east bound and down...except for i think one verse at the end of the song. If u watch smokey and the bandit the song makes more sense.

[JSquires11]

Im sorry these guys are wannabes the words are all wrong anyway.

[TheBhoyPrime]

West bound was the journey the bandit made to get the alcohol.

East bound was the return journey.

[lollebolle]

Hi guys really like this version of it,

have you got it on mp3 ? sure as hell would like to get my hands on it if thats the case !! keep on truckin ^^

[pickinpop]

gracios for ur comment, all music is good either it is played good or bad

[lollebolle]

Is there a chance that you might have it recorded on mp3 ??

[juanignaciomoreno]

I lik very much the country music...very nice amigo
