Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed "Macarthur Park"

Ok. So it's on the worst song list.

("Someone left the cake out in the rain")

But Chet and Jerry's pickin' adds a lot of redemptive value to a song that many say they absolutely hate!

Talented musicians such as Jerry Reed & Chet Atkins, playing the tune of an especially talented composer like Jimmy Webb is a real treat! Thank you for posting.

Not only one of the best Chet'n'Jerry moments, but you also posted the best photo ever of them together. I love it, I love it, I love it. thanks. I've been looking for a posting of Stumpwater from them. To no avail. But I found this, so thank you !

May not have been a hit song, but I love this arrangement.

Such a fabulously soothing guitar contrasting with a vibrant picking style. Great tune.

Worst song???? This is one of the BEST SONGS ever!

One doesn't often get to hear two great guitar masters within the same genre play 'impromptu' like this. Listen and weep - you'll never get to hear it again.

@chester777ful As a 21-year-old guitarist, I will completely agree with that statement you made! After all, it doesn't get much better than Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed and especially when they played together!
