Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed - Don't Think Twice (It's Alright) 1992

From Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed's Live at The Bottom Line in 1992. One of the best renditions of this classic Dylan piece in my opinion.

[@HoboKing2011]

Jerry Reed was far far better than people ever gave him credit for.

[@Pladderkasse]

He was pretty highly rated in his day, he just dropped out of peoples memories, because he wasn't as ambitious as Chet or Les.

I do not watch television. On television you have to watch force fed junk. On youtube your favorite entertainers never die. You can choose what you want to watch and just about everything you ever liked is there. Thanks for youtube.

[@brucewerner6023]

[@deloiscarroll3103]

I listened to Bob Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary and James Taylor sing this and by far, Jerry Reed's version is head and shoulders above them all.

"Goodbye is just too good a word babe, so I'll just say go to hell." I agree with that sentiment - something Bob probably didn't intend!

Jerry Reed's groove bridges the gaps between country, funk, bluegrass and folk. Wonderful post.

I love it! I'm sure Jerry could have kept the funk groove with the best.

[@olavodias]

When music was all about art... not all about money.

[@brucewerner6023]

I just watched it for the umpteenth time---I was struck with the fact that this is so much more classy and meaningful than the Dylan version. The whole lot of them walked out in front of the audience, sat down, not a worry one in their minds at all. They totally had it all together--no doubts, no misgivings, they knew exactly how it would be---PURE EXCELLENCE. Jerry and Chet and the others just worked like a machine, they obviously had no apprehensions. Wonderful video, hope it stays here a long time. Wow---26 years ago, hard to believe.

[@pickerdad8402]

Agree completely. Seemingly without any effort at all, Jerry gave this standby a totally new harmonic structure from the very first note. So rare that we see Chet take a full length solo, and this one is a masterwork. And to top it off, Pat Bergeson's guitar is both tasteful and tasty, and gives yet another interpretation to what I always thought of as a lonesome blues. This one's going in my vault.

[@brucewerner6023]

You meant Pats harmonica I think.

Jerry picked at the New York crowd with his Atlanta braves hat then he couldn't get the guitar to come through the amp cause the cord wasn't plugged in all the way Chet and jerry messed with for a second and Paul yandell told jerry to plug his cord all the way in

[@philipjordanov574]

Now that you say it, I do remember hearing this conversation before!

[@jodyparkercraven]

I hate to flaunt it in front of ya he says holding up his hat, but I'll have y'all know in 1969 I was sitting in the atlanta stauduim and the Yankees came down with (mentions some players name I forget) and they swept us. Chester my guitar don't work, the amps on jerry you got to plug your cord all the way in. Oh you got to stick it all the way in

[@jackiewilburn3063]

Chet always used high action. Jerry on the other hand liked his so low that it buzzed and rattled and got real funky. Paul Yandell said once "raise your action until a #2 pencil can roll around and that's Chet's action."

[@janschneiders5214]

Don't worry: it is the best interpretation since Bob Dylan cannot sing - but of course is the most prominent composer

[@claudiasiefer8495]

Bob Dylan is a master lyricist. He lets others interpret his work.

[@hogansmith7075]

The man was a creative genius but Bob Dylan songs are best performed by other more talented players and singers for sure haha

[@colintapp4876]

Another song ruined by the harmonica,Dylans use was alot less intrusive.

[@hogansmith7075]

You must just not like harmonica because this is some of the finest harp blowin you’ll here this guys got talent. Ill agree with Bob’s being less intrusive and also a lower key so it’s a bit easier on the ears but as a guy who digs the harmonica this is far superior. I think version is the best cover and don’t crucify but better than the original too

[@danielstaples982]

That was a pretty jerky lyric interpretation. My opinion.
