In 1973 at an after-concert hotel room session Jim Croce pulled out a little cassette player and had us all listen to this, which he described as having "the longest guitar lick in history" at the end. It's just Jerry and his guitar, the best.
Way to go, Noymanmic. This is going to be one of my "play it over and over and over and over" youtube favorites. Just love the tone he gets on his gutstring guitar and the way it blends with his voice, and the he kind of rambles here and there with the chord arrangement.
Thanks for posting all the great Jerry Reed videos. This song is awesome. I love the way he mixes the awesome guitar licks with the beautiful chords. I wish country music gave him more credit.

It's an absolute Travisty that Jerry is not in the country music hall of Fame. I understand that he's not even a member of the Grand ole Opry.
