Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed "Baby's Coming Home"

[@robertlee8042]

Only Jerry Reed would lay his hands on the guitar strings while Chet Atkins plays.

[@sjuozhunki]

Lennt Breau could but wouldn't.

[@edster612]

There's very few performers that ALWAYS put a smile on my face. Jerry Reed is one of those few.

[@SweetPicklenation]

A compliment from a gentleman. ‘That’s cause he’s creative and always thinking of something new’

[@valentino3191]

Chet was no nonsense. They worked so well together it seemed because Jerry was constantly innovating and needed someone logical and disciplined like Chet to keep the ship sailing straight?

[@ralphhenderson7270]

Jerry was always humble and made it be known that if it wasn't for Chet Atkins,.... there never would have been a Jerry Reed.

[@Davewutsup]

One of the few, that chet will let touch his guitar,,,

[@irishguy13]

I don't think teles have ever sounded better.

[@davidwhite1115]

I agree

[@jlorthong]

+1

[@emersonmayeaux2482]

The chemistry and respect among these two guitar masters were something to behold back in the day. Makes me smile every time i watch this video. Two of the best to ever strap on a 6 string..

[@soofitnsexy]

easily

[@mr.thammisses6119]

My favorite guitarists. Throw Merle in there too.

[@josephkingston9252]

Jerry Reed married chet Adkins daughter

[@rylieriley]

Mercy, that's good! Jerry Reed is one of the greatest musicians and songwriters to ever grace this world with his presence. Chet was no slouch, either. 😁

[@jdos2]

Two gentlemen spotlighting each other who obviously have a tremendous amount of respect for each other, and doing what they obviously love. How awesome - thank you for posting this.

[@MrMjp58]

Country music often appears as a sane, relaxed alternative to rock, blues, jazz etc.

[@JohnZornAscended]

More avant garde than the traditional roots country music. The pioneer of that style didn’t call it country.

[@michaelcogdill9534]

Years have passed and we are still able to listen to and love their music thanks to the best parts of technology.

[@catboyzee]

Jerry is str8 rocking that Dracula-approved shirt collar...LOL! Yes indeed, you gotta love the 1970s music and fashion. Respect and RIP to two of the greatest guitarists ever, Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed.

[@rickkilgore1147]

I love these chet and Jerry videos.

[@ClintTorres607]

Dang it these two gentlemen could play. Their playing was so understated and smooth. Ridiculous chops! Their stage presence was so relaxed and funny. What a fantastic time capsule.

[@Lunkenville]

I never did get to see Jerry, but I saw Chet when I was 11 or 12. He made the crowd feel as if we were all sitting on a big front porch, just hanging out...while he played the most amazing music!

[@simonbroddle754]

Lovely, and sad to think neither are with us any longer.

[@valentino3191]

Absolutely, they were both superb players (two of the best ever) and even better people. We love and miss both of you!!!

[@glennjames7107]

At least they left us with a trove of recordings to remember them.

[@davidmuir7711]

They are always near us and I am blessed to have lived in their time. Seen their televised performances.

[@JohnZornAscended]

Lol, you’re watching them.

[@Jack-kh8er]

These guys are just great...

[@ConfortinDEADHORSE]

2:24 country music guitar at its best

[@doug8718]

These guys played like melted butter...the talent just oozed. The talent shows because it looks absolutely effortless.

[@katzensprung7449]

Two great masters of the guitar playing a wonderful song! May God bless you, Chet and Jerry!! You are very much missed!

[@jeanmorin3247]

What masters! America at its best!

[@Ashadowman]

2 incredible players

[@frankdavis1234]

I feel lucky to live in a time that allows hearing these tunes. These guys wow.

[@quirtdrozario856]

Just pure gold.

[@bobareeniobobareenio2935]

I don’t know why , but sometimes, listening to Chet and some of his tunes, makes me emotional . …

[@vannah863]

I can't tell you why this song makes me cry every time I hear it but I kinda hope that's exactly what I hear before I go home to the Lord.

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Lol

[@muchanadziko6378]

I agree with everything you said Other than . . . there is no "lord" different from perfection of personal expression

[@glennjames7107]

​@@muchanadziko6378And I disagree with your idea that Jesus Christ isn't our lord, and savior. But that's fine you believe what you want to believe, and I'll believe what I want to believe. I don't know where you hail from, but I'm from America where we can believe whatever we choose to. Not to boast, but America is a great country, we have our issues for sure, but it's a wonderful thing to be able to believe who, and whatever you want, with no judgement from anyone !

[@ervinbratlien8741]

It speaks to me of better times when these two and other great players of my youth were still alive, I haven't been able to listen to country radio for 20 years......

[@Kenny-xh7ms]

Yes Sir!! Me too brother!!

[@valentino3191]

I sure miss them both. Such amazing people

[@glennjames7107]

If you ever hear Chet miss a note, mark it on your calendar because it's very rare ! He's was one of the cleanest players ever to pick up a guitar. Every note he picked seemed to come out perfect, almost machine like !

[@Sarasdad91]

Man I love this song I love Chet and Jerry.

[@theoriginaljimmykicker]

Two of the greatest pickers ever.

[@MrLBDude]

Jerry Reed was remarkably diverse. He could so comfortably portray a simple hillbilly. I don't mean that disparagingly. If one was unfamiliar, they would never guess that there was such a complexity of thought and prodigal level talent within him. The acting and the comedy were really a joy to witness. Then to be taken to school with these guitar chops AND the writing. Honey, hush!

[@kinechan93678]

Chet & Jerry !! Greatest guitar players! Thanks!

[@soofitnsexy]

Easily....CHET IS THE GREATEST EVER

[@sandystrait3878]

Love that. Check out those huge collars on Jerry's shirts. Such a crazy talented guy.

[@nemo227]

A couple of national treasures, gone but they left us with some damn good recordings.

[@Gpcavana819]

These two country gentlemen were my first inspiration, when I first picked up a guitar. I got good - real good, but never as good, or even close, to these two country gentlemen. Unfortunately, my hands couldn’t take the arthritis pain. I put the guitar away in 2014. I still love listening to the “old masters.”

[@t44s]

your story is like mine. I played and played and played, but after studying Jerry Reed for a couple years I realized that maybe I should find another job. I once met him at a fair in West Virginia. Jerry was shaking hands with the fans after his show. I shook his hand and said "I've been trying to play like you for 20 years and I still can't do it". Jerry said "Neither can I !"

[@stevenburton7922]

That's funny....thanks for sharing!

[@RodneyGmusic]

Two of the best!! Thanks for posting. Watching Chet and Jerry never gets old!

[@hankgoldenshaft]

Such great playing, melodic and pleasing to the ear.

[@johnstoddard4692]

This is what talent and mutual respect between two musical behemoths looks like , take a picture and listen to every note because this my friends , is also what you call extinct in todays music!

[@orangescout1967]

My God….how awesome was that?

[@billday6744]

I saw this when it 1st aired I couldnt imagine Chet ever playing a Telecaster ! Chet is the only reason I ever picked up a guitar always will be my hero .

[@muratdiker2443]

I watch this video again and again. Great fit and great times!

[@robertrogers7939]

Beautiful

[@glennjames7107]

Jerry reed, on of the very few that I've seen that could hold their own on stage with Chet.

[@arkaisk2]

Listen and learn, children. 👌

[@AntoinePayen]

Magnifique vidéo ! Et Chet et Jerry avec des Telecaster, c'est rare ! J'adore... :-D

[@PorkFistedViking]

So damn good and so much talent on between those two.

[@robertrogers49]

Awesome as always. that's the only time that I've ever seen Chet play a fender telecaster.

[@spatialfrance]

Amazing beautiful song. RIP Chet and Jerry.

[@debramonroe-gs3ip]

Excellent. Brings back memories

[@lcheadle]

I hear Merele Travis influence coming through in that tune. That is the best part of music tradition.

[@richardjames6623]

2 Masters in Action!

[@dondondoodle]

Pure gold!!

[@gilbertolinger3874]

I ALWAYS LOVE hearing 2 TALENTED guitar players playing twin harmony with each other and Chet and Jerry were the FINEST/SMOOTHEST ever. They knew each other's moves so well they blended like they were ONE guitar!!

[@Phil-w4u]

Notice how chet doesn't try to play over him.instead waits and trys to add his tasty fills to enhance Jerry. True professional

[@gregoryseibold4994]

Both of them in their prime. Spectacular !!

[@pierretteb.thibault-cu3zz]

Magnifique et tout plein de joie

[@Razorhead19]

Jerry was very underrated!

[@Gus_R]

Wonderful.

[@natetheannihilnater1886]

Think Chet was throwing a little shade at Tele's, saying to leave the G string flat or it will fret sharp. True words. And with the 3 saddles you cant intonate them properly. But Chet still sounds like Chet on a Tele. And I love Tele's, its just a fact theyre flawed.

[@AmericasChoice]

I have one, it has some really good qualities, but they can be a pain.

[@harryjenkins9384]

Chet Atkins was great his wife was my uncle's wife meet her once at my aunt's funeral my sister went to there house for a family reunion i believe she said they had a swimming pool shaped like a getar

[@TheStrick10]

I miss those guys

[@pepeboy234]

So great..the both of them

[@doylehoggard6592]

Absolutely right.

[@Yousadclownofaman]

I’m waiting for the biopic of Chet Atkins where Tim Blake Nelson plays him. I think that’s a spot-on casting

[@cakeblade6954]

“I don’t where a G-string Chet” is golden

[@davidsalo8397]

Jerry had quite a comeback that time!! Man could those two light up a room!

yes

[@MO_Lives]

My goodness that is one heck of a collar Mr. Reed is sporting

[@thesoundchekguy]

Chet on a B-Bender of all things....

[@ervinbratlien8741]

Yeah that kinda shocks me too

[@craigburnett6099]

Would it be safe to say that 2 of top 10 of all time guitarists are on this stage.

[@glennjames7107]

Without question.

[@AmericasChoice]

@@glennjames7107 Only Danny Gatton would be tied with these 2. Hard to pick the best of the 3...

[@me-xv6tf]

Both playing Telecasters 😮🎶🥰

[@AmericasChoice]

Jerry drove Chet crazy. LOL

[@johngolden4468]

Chet had a wicked sense of humor! I heard him say once, "All of this Gentleman Jim Reeves stuff is a bunch of shit..... He'd kick your ass!"

[@jorge6528]

Can't imagine having the nuts to put my hand on Chet Atkins' guitar to make him stop playing!

[@coltknight3945]

I wish Chet would have played Tele more often. I really like that tone

[@silverstem2964]

We all need our wanger!

[@jesseserna8424]

Frost the snow man 🙌🏻🎸..

[@phlattgetit]

Unusual to see either of them with a Tele. Wonder if there was some sort of promotion or sponsorship going on.

[@AmericasChoice]

Yeah, maybe. But the Tele's sounded sweet with these 2. Sometimes Jerry would play Peaveys, which sounded awful, I am sure it was a promotion.

[@huckeaton9054]

holy cow an actual video of chet playing chinatown

[@tele100]

Man, I love this so much!

[@afterbirth04]

What’s the tune Chet plays right before getting to Baby’s Coming Home?…

[@doylehoggard6592]

Google Oklahoma Sunshine by Jerry

[@robbiefarr2778]

Does anyone know what Chet is playing at 0:45?

[@ChrisHodge]

Robbie Farr “Oh! By Jingo”

[@fredmacdonald8323]

Fender tele I think

[@mines_emblemierr4895]

Long shot, but does anyone know the name of the first tune Chet picks in the video?

[@tradresonance777]

That's Oh By Jingo! Chet recorded a couple of different versions of it that have slight differences. Treasures all!

[@ValerioMansueti]

a question:who has composed Baby's coming home? C.Atkins or J.Reed?

That's what they said in the intro.

[@terryh1950]

This tune was written by Jerry Hubbard.

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Loudermilk or something like that.

[@old-time-family-cooking]

@@terryh1950 Which is the name Jerry Reed wrote songs by.

[@terryh1950]

@@old-time-family-cooking yes. I know. His full name was Jerry Reed Hubbard. Reed was for playing, Hubbard for writing. Pretty clever. And he was a great talent.

I bet it was Jerry's. I think this is the only time I've ever seen Chet playing a Fender guitar.

[@JimmyWillis]

I understand that Chet recorded a lot on a Fender Telecaster @@norwoodgolf8

[@Pladderkasse]

Interrupting Chet's playing, is like stealing Tony Soprano's gabagool.

that was music......

1:12. It's funny ... when Jerry Reed was summoned to the Elvis session for GUITAR MAN, he had trouble recollecting the opening riff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5OQqHaqrZ2WjKc

[@mattwright6462]

What year is this

[@glennjames7107]

Jerry didn't think much of that Tele !

So cool. Chet starts out to play 'O By Jingo', but Jerry stops him.
