JERRY REED and CHET ATKINS - "DON'T THINK TWICE IT'S ALRIGHT"

[@randyw.9916]

Jerry and Chet as great as ever but also kudos to that kid on the harmonica.

[@jongibson3375]

Ralph machio the karate kid

[@petehanratty950]

actually he plays too much for my taste. I rather hear the guitar fills than his playing, especially from these two icons.

[@sherryjohnson8159]

The harmonica player is AWESOME!!!!

[@jamesnier3112]

Who is the harmonica player?

[@rebelboyst]

The harmonica player is Pat Bergeson, a highly rated session guitarist in Nashville. Search for Tommy Emmanuel, Richard Smith, Guthrie Trapp, Bryan Sutton and Pat Bergeson to see three videos of them absolutely killing it together

[@RonBaker456]

Just a joy to watch talent like this when accompanied by the wisdom to not take itself too seriously.

[@tdav225]

Damn great statement. ❤

[@cappystrano1]

@@tdav225he hoped it would have done better…..

[@walterbriggs272]

It’s fun to be able to see these great men just fooling around and then break into incredible music without a hitch

[@umavunga]

Chet and Les Paul cut a wonderful album in the mid '80s, called, "Chester and Lester".

[@ztahs]

Thank the Lord, REAL music! Boy were these two great together.

[@winonamassingill7895]

Don’t forget to give some credit to the young man who’s playing that mean harmonica. 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

[@patriciajrs46]

Jerry was one of the best. It's great that he was here with Chet. Just great.

[@saint_ryan]

I come back to this about once a month.

[@Amundbjerk]

Twice every day.

[@123Goldhunter11]

Jerry Reed...........what's not to like. A good ole boy's good ole boy. RIP Jerry. And Chet's no slouch either.

[@sugizotakuro]

he is one of the underrated singer and guitarist. we all love you jerry

[@ctcollinthib]

I bet Bob was super pleased when he heard this version of a song he wrote inspired by folks like these two making music from their homelands.

[@redryderaus]

Two masters jamming. I want more.

[@patriciajrs46]

I gave to agree.

[@donjohnson5172]

So glad the version with the full intro is back on KZbin. That's part of why I loved this video, the way Jerry and Chet go back and forth is pure gold.

[@JollyRoger-no7ps]

From the back of the theatre comes a low gravely voice that says “it ain’t got no gas in it!” To which Jerry and Chet reply “thank you Carl, you’re absolutely right!” 😄😉 Wish I could have seen these two legends live, but very grateful they live on through this outlet.

[@GullsofBohn]

Gone but not forgotten

[@Forevertrue]

Chet was at his peak and Jerry was already sick. But the show must go on and it did. God Bless them both!!

[@gypseygeoff]

This rendition should have a 1,000,000 views

[@Drew83]

Absolutely unbelievable! What a hidden gem. There should be a couple commas behind this view count. Very impressive bro!

[@Rashnak66]

I've heard maybe a dozen variations of this song- each one a delight including this one.

[@alainsoubrier1609]

For me the best one.

[@dennismoon5245]

WOW!!! What a Great job without sounding like Karaoke. Fantastic!

[@auntysocialist]

Two of the best ever. Jerry Reed used to win world guitar playing competitions where he'd practice 8+ hours per day for months prior.

[@theflyingcloud8957]

Laughing at the Laffer Curve LOL The one written out on a napkin?

[@ianhamilton2035]

Blown away!! 😃

[@dougbodenhamer9391]

Wow, what a treat! Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed! Made my day.

[@RobbenRomano]

Never really been a Jerry Reed fan 'til I saw this. I love these guys. Love when he calls Chet 'Chester'.

[@notbraindead7298]

Awesome talent, Atkins and Reed. It’s incredibly hard to make it look this easy!

[@rongerhardt6745]

This tune sparkles just like the beautiful ladies dresses. Great job by all and looks like you’re having a lot of fun.

[@quirtdrozario856]

Just love this song. Jerry Reed is awesome.

[@KathrynRucker]

I ❤watching 👀

[@donnamicci9996]

That was extraordinary!

[@rickmeadows686]

Jerry and Chet were greats, and will be missed. Their music will live on…. The harmonica player nailed it!

[@austenrobinson2747]

I believe Chet saying Jerry was better than him. The best finger picker to ever live. RIP Jerry

[@rizdekd3912]

I also know Chet was a generous and magnanimous person and liked to work with lots of players/singers. Whether one is better than the other is probably up to personal tastes. No doubt those pickers are in a class of their own.

[@rg86er]

Jerry had soul for miles and miles.

[@jeffkirpach4815]

It's finger-pickin' good!

[@randenlongwell6645]

Damn,,, that's good.

[@missouriboy66]

Jerry sets that deep pocket from the first note. Nothing like this today…

[@jerbear7952]

Why do people insist on complaining about new music when they put no effort in to finding good music among the thousands of new artists. There are great people out there now. Look up josh turner guitar on KZbin or billy strings

[@jimmywillis9479]

I saw jerry about a half a dozen times through out his career. You nailed it when you said pocket. The man was all about establishing an incredible pocket when he played. One of the times I saw him was in the late 80's and he came out with just a telecaster and he played the first 30 minutes with with just him on the guitar and some of his band singing background vocals doing gospel stuff. I was blown away. Not enough people realize just how much of a genius he was on guitar.

[@eddriver7815]

when I hear Chet play ... I now that the world is still a GOOD place. If there isnt a GOD ... then who created chet / Jerry and this music .. here I am tapping my toes and fingers missing the hellout of CHET ...and Jerry too ! repeat # 8 ... God almighty I miss the hell out of these guys ... 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😃

[@jerbear7952]

When a man and a woman love each other very much they sometimes make new humans called babies. That is where they came from. Then they worked very very hard to tefine their craft. Mystery solved. No sky daddy needed.

[@drgruber57]

Well, I don't think Darwin could explain the accidents that had to happen to produce these kind of pickers.

[@dalephillips2664]

They the best no dought never will be beat

[@anthonyp5200]

Hes so great !

[@brianbob7514]

So beautiful, great to see talented happy people at work ;)

[@hereandthere9023]

Jerry and Chet did at least two albums together. They're good!

[@quirrelly]

made my dad cry

[@daveblevins3322]

Badass harp blowin' brother 👍🇺🇸

[@VladislavMikhailikov]

This one is the perfect one!

[@barbstegner4639]

If this song 🎵 doesn't bring you to tears 😭 you ✨ have no heart 💔..I miss you daddy.

[@sandracooper2390]

So awesome!! Love this!! ❤️Thank you for sharing it!!

[@rexjamerson9316]

My older brother Don got to be good friends with session guitarist James Burton and James told the story of being in the studio with Jerry Reed one time and the Jerry chased James out into the parking lot and put him in a headlock and told him that he couldn't leave until he showed him how James did that guitar lick the Jerry really liked.

[@joeh9158]

Went to sleep with KZbin playing a mix from my line up tonight, woke up at sometime after 1am to some of the best music. Russel Malone just followed Robbie Robertson. It just keeps getting better. Throughout this mix awesome comments from people around the world. There is good out there with music bringing us together.

[@stefanlageambecker6077]

Incredible wen chet and jerry play together. 🙏

[@jacquelinemilton6387]

Love them and miss them I hope there's this music in heaven

[@bucketheadrox]

Well if he's serious which he ain't, they'll be playing it for him and he won't be picking lol.

[@paulstephenson5913]

Great music coming from the best

[@mihainecula1093]

The best version of this song!

[@creativitycafe]

I got to see and hear him perform live in NYC. At Town Hall sometime around 1965?

[@JayBirdsChannel]

Jerry Reed is one of the coolest cats to ever walk the earth. Waylon is up there too. But Waylon couldn’t pick like this dude. Rare breed of talent.

[@bengttarnhamn5314]

Love it!❤️

[@dombat61]

That I appreciate, it's that the Elvis's cover respect the original... For me it's a prove that Elvis was really honest !

[@MikeBostick-xq3hw]

Amen

[@Donnie324]

I'm a big Braves fan also, Jerry and in the nineties they showed the mets. Jerry and Chet makes a good team.

[@tmatheson54]

Might he, I mean yes he would but it’s mighty fine! Playing and listening to guitar. It is just great.

[@timwalcott6268]

Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins. Who’s a thunk that one?

[@russparker1647]

Maybe in my next lifetime or two I will play half that good

[@jamesobryan3258]

Cheers to a great bygone era 🍻

[@terrywatson1583]

How can ya not Love Jerry Reed?

[@benkilgour5658]

Chester. No more need be said.

[@scottross8854]

You just don't see talent like this anymore.

[@johncampbell9120]

The religious are terrified of the temporary nature of themselves in connection to reality and that is how, along with fear of the elements"weather and such", that has turned them to making and reinforcing their own reality😮

[@BossHogg2608]

How is the harmonica player?

[@jamieralph14]

Can’t beat it

[@patbyrd9038]

Nothing like this today what a shame

[@gboy1973]

that was.... awesome

[@Tahquitz]

Who the heck is the harmonica player?…he’s extremely good… And totally ignored as he rips very sophisticated solo lines

[@Zacharia503]

Pat Bergerson; played in Chet's band for several years. Look him up; see what he can do with a guitar!!

[@artcooper5867]

It just doesn't get any better then that.....thanks

[@cpcattin]

It’s hard to contemplate Chet had a second career. Chet was an executive at RCA Records in the height of the corporation’s Nashville recordings.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Them there is some certified guitar pickers.

[@nobodyJake]

His momma, his wife, the Snowman the only 3 people that called Chet Atkins "Chester" this is probably how Dylan heard it in his head.

[@rogersorensen5225]

If you watch carefully you can see that he put the cord in and pull it out partially so it doesn’t work.

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

I love how they take a folk song and turn it into country twang.

[@shirleyjennings5787]

Awesome

[@Whyruasking]

This is a higher power.

[@ChefKevinRiese]

So sad.

[@johnhaas951]

Unfortunately classy musicians like this are a thing of the past.(Apologies to the handful of true talents we have left)

[@MarshallLanier]

Way to go Jerry with the Braves cap

[@mircovannucchi6600]

Dylan will be happy !

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Playing on Nylon Strings,don’t see that ever anymore.

[@fish4bugs]

Who plays the harmonica?

[@mikeknowles8017]

I'm thinking it's Fingers Taylor.

[@fish4bugs]

Thanks.....he was a terrific harmonica player.

[@charliever]

Pat Bergeson , great guitarplayer too !

[@sitkahans]

Bob Dylan was like a rising tide all Boats were affected.

[@MrPodvig]

Written (co-written?) By Jerry Boonstra.

[@davidcole5183]

I knew Chet could pick but I didn't know Jerry could!

[@leftymic9863]

Does someone know when this was recorded?

[@alexreaves8921]

+5 points for the Braves hat

[@Антон-л7я]

❤Чету Аткинсу

[@jacquelinemilton6387]

Don't understand the msg

[@Zacharia503]

Baby Pat Bergerson!!

[@sammyadkins1333]

Russell was a good friend..

[@jackaro2]

3:25 Chester...

[@judeirwin2222]

His “godd” friend?

[@Антон-л7я]

Играет😂класс.

[@ralphditchburn1456]

No mention of harp player?

[@Антон-л7я]

Молодец.

[@janpaullubek7954]

Jerry wrote for Elvis!

[@lebsivart2755]

I wish jack Richardson could have heard this.

[@charlesgracia4240]

Who’s on harp?

[@billbeecher3080]

Pat Bergeson. A long-time Chet accompanist. He can play guitar as well as he can play the harmonica.

[@winonamassingill7895]

Jerry Reed is but Jerry is right. He’s father- in - law is better, and I don’t know who that harmonica player is but iv got to say that he ain’t no slouch.
