Jerry Reed She Got The Gold Mine (I Got the Shaft)

[@michaelbarr3039]

The mark of a truly great artist is when you can hear their songs for 45+ years and still enjoy them just as much, if not more, than you did the first time you heard them.

[@rodgreen6021]

True enough 😊

[@mphrab]

Thanks for reminding me how old I am!!!😎

[@michaelbarr3039]

@mphrab Let's be honest, at our age we need reminders. 😆

[@StetzMusic]

Yep! Also when they can bring new generations in. I’m 30 years old and love this ! Makes Conway Twitty look like a Kindergartener in my humble opinion 😂 Love you all

Jerry Reed was a great entertainer but he was a master guitar player. Incredible.

[@hanc37]

Jerry Reed and Roy Clark were incredible guitar players.

[@scotthalley5562]

When Roy Clark says Jerry Reed can play a pick fiddle, by God he he means it

[@darrellhart9363]

No truer words ever sung. Great story teller in songs.

Tim Dubois wrote this but he sang his words so well

[@crashmeter]

just found this song and it’s amazing.

[@markr.9626]

Country Rap ... and delta blues rap when we look back to see where Rap came from. There are examples in every kind of genre.. not the chorus, just the verses .. Not every artist was a singer

[@msquaretheoriginal]

Check out "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash or "Spiders and Snakes" by Jim Stafford.

Want to listen to rap, listen to Tennessee Earnie Ford.

Jerry Reed was great. Love his music. It was fun to watch him preform. He was so laid back, like one of his times on Hee Haw. He's all comfortable in a chair sitting low. Guitar across his lap with one leg on a box and one shoe off. He looks cool. He was cool.

[@peck404]

He is so cute and he's such a great storyteller

[@flylippfantom8425]

I love his humor what a guitar man

[@IPman77]

Jerry was the man. Wish I could have had a beer with him.

[@chrisevers1682]

Jerry had that 'it' factor.....

[@derkeheath5172]

I am NOT a country fan, but damn...I LOVE some Jerry Reed.

[@gregdayton786]

This man layed down some cool tunes, and a damn good actor!

[@newsweathertraffic18]

I love everything Jerry's ever recorded but it kills me that he's best known for his later gimmicky/comedic stuff. His late 60's into early 70's pieces are some of the most profound and incredible composition I've ever heard and it's a shame more people don't know about his more serious music. Only a fraction of the world's best guitar players can play the stuff he wrote (That's why Elvis had to bring him in to play Guitar Man) and all of that is overshadowed by his comedy work. He truly was the Man with the Golden Thumb, his guitar playing was supernatural.

[@natema7339]

helluva guitarist

[@thomasquinnsr7103]

I will always love the music and song writing abilities of Jerry Reed, not only that he was also a great actor

[@jasonmoehring5326]

I never like live performances of singers. Except Jerry Reed! Love his music!

[@snichols1973]

The "merciful ending" version; there's another version that doesn't end so well for Jerry, who alternately ends up in a courtroom and goes broke...

[@Reversingthelies]

One of the greatest songs ever

[@matthewdinsdale4782]

Genius ! 😁

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
