DON'T DO IT!| FIRST TIME HEARING Jerry Reed - Gator REACTION

[@Shrykespeare]

For your next Jerry song, please do "She Got the Gold Mine, I Got the Shaft". Great tune. Also, I remember Jerry in a movie called The Survivors, where Jerry played (I kid you not) a hitman. The movie also starred Robin Williams and Walter Matthau.

[@blackblake3658]

It is worth sitting through the entire movie to get to watch the "showdown" between Jerry and Robin and Walter in the final part of the movie. It's hilarious. Whole movie is good.

This is the title song for a movie character, Gator Mcklusky, played by Burt Reynolds in 'White Lightning' and the sequel, 'Gator'. Unlike 'Smokey and The Bandit', both White Lightning and Gator are action/dramas with much darker tones.

[@JCourts2k23]

Need to check out “Guitar Man”. Great song, so good, Elvis covered it, and had to get Jerry Reed to come from a fishing trip to play the guitar for his recording, cause nobody could do it like Jerry. And another fun fact, Elvis would always would get like 50% of the rights to the songs he covered, and after Jerry did his thing at the studio with Elvis, one of this people came up to Jerry and told him Elvis usually gets X amount of the song rights, Jerry said NO WAY. But Elvis like it so much, he didnt do anything about it. In fact, Elvis wanted to cover Dolly Parton’s i will always love you, but he never did, because Dolly wouldnt give any of the rights over to her song, even though she would have loved for him to do it.

[@kathysizemore9975]

Great reaction. Jerry Reed is one of the best storytellers. She Got The Goldmine I Got The Shaft , and When You're Hot You're Hot are a couple really good ones by him. Yall should do some Roger Miller he's another good storyteller.

Another great reaction, as always. Can't go wrong with Jerry Reed, he's a legend! I've been watching your music reactions from the beginning, and if I may, I'd like to offer one bit of constructive criticism. Your background has gotten much busier with all those great pictures of musicians, but it's so busy now, that the two of you don't stand out as much as you used to. It's like visually, you're fading into the background. Do what you like with that advice, and keep making the great music and movie reactions!

Welcome to the gem filled Reed Jerry rabbit hole. Gator was a motion picture as well, and you might've guessed it starred Ol' Burt and Jerr Bear. Jerry plays a number of great villains, do you remember Coach Red Bayou from Waterboy? Yep that's Jerry. You should check out his F-16 monologue. My favorite songs of his are Lord Mr. Ford, Preacher and the Bear, The Bird, Don't Think Twice (Bob Dylan cover), any of his collaborations with B.B. King, and Guitar man. There's also a story about how he got over on Elvis, relating to Guitar Man.

[@MScottBlalock]

Btw, You saw "Smokey..." of which Jerry Reed did the soundtrack for the movie and played Snowman, Bandit's best friend. In Gator, of which this is the opening soundtrack sung by Jerry Reed, Jerry Reed played Bama McCall, Burt Reynold's (Gator McKlusky) old friend from back in the day , and the movies protagonist. The movie is not bad if you have a couple drinks, close one eye, and grade it on the curve, BUT it has one of the top 2-3 all time great boat chase scenes, starting with Jerry Reed singling the soundtrack Gator, and all the local cops and the G-man in boats, helicopters, and squad cars, getting ready to come down on Gator McKlusky, who happens to have a speed boat that runs like a scalded dog. BTW, if you like story songs like you seem to and Jerry Reed, listen to the song "Framed" by Jerry Reed - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqbMhmuaf6aUepIsi=-0OZTFCTQexicYxb

Another Country performer you should give a listen to is Roy Clark. Absolutely one of the very best guitarists of all time. He had a lot of comedic songs and some serious ones, but I recommend listening to his playing of the instrumental song "Malaguena". There are two versions, the standard Flamenco style and a very fast paced version he did live on the old TV show "The Odd Couple". The Odd Couple version will leave you astounded!

He said the sheriff and his deputy chased them into the swamp one day. Only the sheriff made it out alive, and the sheriff decided it was best to leave them be so long as they stayed in the swamp.

[@KnittingmommyArts]

The Okefenokee Swamp is a real swamp that straddles the Georgia-Florida line. I believe this song was written for the movie Gator which was the sequel to the movie White Lightning. Both movies starred Burt Reynolds. White Lightning was an action film and very gritty and serious. Gator was more of an action comedy and, of course, Jerry Reed was in the film Gator as well as writing the song for the movie. I believe Jerry Reed actually plays the bad guy in the movie Gator. You really need to check out When You're Hot, You're Hot. I saw someone else mention She's Got the Gold Mine, I Got the Shaft. Another great song! Also check out the song, Guitar Man. Jerry Reed wrote and sang the song. I believe it was his first song to chart early in his career. Elvis heard the song on the radio and wanted to record it. They ended up getting Jerry Reed to play the guitar part on the Elvis recording because no one could play the song the way Elvis wanted it played. The song went number one on the country charts. That was one of Jerry Reed's big breaks as a song writer. Jerry's an amazing guitar player! One of the reasons the studio players couldn't play the song right was because Jerry liked to do unusual tunings on his guitar to get the sounds he wanted.

[@PsalmS-vi8zl]
