Jerry Reed - Papa's Knee (Live)

[@mikedavis4427]

I've been playing guitar since I was about 10 years old. I just turned 46 today. I can say that I have what I call a Discerning Ear for good music and good musicians.And jerry reed is world class top of the heap

[@timbabcox6581]

I remember learning to play this tune from an instructional video made by Buster B. Jones. This is one of my favorites.

[@WillGandy]

Those who play guitar like myself.... watch it many times. He made it one of my favorites too.

[@chrisskates1038]

This is excellent

[@chrisskates1038]

I’m touched that he wrote it. I’ve read that he and his sisters were in foster care for a time

[@RunninOnCoal]

Jerry Reed is an American treasure. Wish more people would listen to him.

[@royalmorehead2110]

Jerry was one of the best!

[@emersonmayeaux2482]

Jerry Reed was a guitar master , great singer, actor and entertainer. What an amazing talent he was. Jerry managed to impress the great Chet Atkins enough that he performed and recorded many albums of Jerry's songs. Jerry also inspired many of todays modern great guitar players. The world was a much better place with him in it. R.I.P Jerry. You will always be one of the greatest ever !!

[@jasonlawson8980]

Man this is beautiful. He is of course an elite guitar player, but here you get to hear a beautiful voice as well. What a treasure he was, this should have a million views.

[@Achromania]

A treasure indeed. RIP

[@martinhanley9524]

Amen to that - great artist

[@thesebonesroll7s]

Absolutely one of my favorite vocalists.

[@t44s]

I used to sing this song to my baby son, made me cry every time

[@GaryPritchard-bb2pm]

Yes sir!

[@מנגו-ר1ח]

This is genius

[@billschwinn1834]

He wrote it, played it, and sang it, amazing talent! Superb picking and voice!

[@Gidbiddy]

Jerry is my favourite composer of music, but he didn't write this. Richard Supa wrote it.

[@mikeschofield4319]

My favourite guitar player. Great voice as well.

[@martinspencer366]

Complex picking and all that moving bass and melody work on the left hand. Just beautiful. To be able to play it would be a great achievement but to sing over it like Jerry did, quite remarkable.

[@jordanjones3008]

I've often thought that if I knew I was going to die in 4 minutes and I only had time to hear one last song, this is the song I would choose. Jerry Reed is the greatest to ever touch a guitar. On top of that, he could have had a successful career as just a singer. He was the whole package.

[@walkofftrail]

Guitar player for 50 something years and to me this is simply exquisite.......the guitar work and the singing. Took me hours and many repetitions to get fairly close, but now I want to buy a nylon stringed if just for this one song! Mr. Reed was a genius. I heard it somewhere that when he was young he told people he would be famous

[@markcurts9514]

My father passed away this past November. He was a guitar man. I have yet to make it thru this song without a tear being shed. Thank you Jerry.

[@CraigArndt]

God bless you. Just cruising through KZbin watching Jerry Reed, very special post you made.

[@varminttank]

My dad has passed also .. I feel you brother rip to your pops may you see him again one day

[@anton_kupriianchuk]

My dad passed away few weeks ago. Can’t listen this song without crying

[@calvinbutler1919]

I've been looking for this song. Thank you so much for posting this.👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jimmaculate5]

jerry had it all. and it showed.

[@johnjameson2731]

My favorite country music artist. Pick it son....R.I.P.

[@doobeedoo2]

Oh my that is a gorgeous song I hadn't heard before. Wow. Jerry's voice is just awesome here.

[@jackmeriustacktheratrix5021]

Literal goosebumps through my entire body.

[@jaygatsby1]

He took one of Elvis’s onesies cut it in two and made himself a blouse. And I mean that in the best possible way because I love them both.

[@tomoirish1]

There’s only one King -but JR was right up there in a different way. What an incredible legacy !! RIP both of those Guys.

[@reddragon99100]

Truly one of the greatest,.

[@jerrylanglois7892]

As a '' guitar player '' this knocks me out !

[@cheekychicka]

I could only sit and weep as I listened to this the first time . I lost my father 2 years ago and this song described our relationship perfectly. Hopefully iTunes has this song. It’s going to be something I will need to hear again and again. Crying even as I type.... thank you Jerry, ❤️🇨🇦🎸

[@moseyalong1]

A beautiful song, great arrangement. Jerry Reeds musical ability, musicality, was one in 5 billion - minimum odds !

[@marcomenna9918]

One of a kind . . . !!! God bless you

[@gotahvcls]

Who ends a ballad on a major since John Foster? SON!

[@davidalexander202]

What a beautiful song

[@mircovannucchi6600]

Great song, great artist. Jerry is a Legend for me. Rip. MV

[@mihainecula1093]

I think this is the best song composed by Jerry. Exceptional performance!

[@Gidbiddy]

Jerry didn't write this song; Richard Supa did.

[@shirleystewartburns3443]

Thank you so much! I was saddened when it was no longer here, and I am thrilled to find it back! My favorite of many wonderful Jerry Reed songs.

[@partner348]

Masterful

[@14Jackbond]

I can't find the full pop goes the country episode, including this song and jerry performing Alabama jubilee. It must have been deleted or something because i last watched it a few months back. I hope maybe there is someone who can put it back on youtube, that would really make my day!

[@anthonykrasinski3724]

you re talent and successfull life still are amazing to me- you my bandmate have eclipsed yourself - My friend Murray is smiling. You will be back to 100% sooner than you think-We are not going to take less. Cheers

[@gflyer45]

Eric Johnson does a little Jerry Reed stuff in his video “Total Electric Guitar”, and this is one of the licks. I always wondered where it came from.

[@gotahvcls]

Hey, G Flyer 45, who is Eric Johnson? Just curious. (You posted a year ago. Maybe you are still around.) Ory Gun shouting at you.

[@jamesmcclusky3120]

@@gotahvcls hi. late reply so you may have found out already, but eric johnson is a great and much revered guitarist from texas. he's probably most famous for the piece cliffs of dover kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3_HaHiQaNBmb9U here's a live video of that piece (very different from jerry mind) hope this was in some way helpful.

[@daan1748]

Thanks!

[@NoelKerns]

Wouldn't surprise me if this chord progression inspired Randy Newman's "Louisiana, 1927"; very similar vibe.

[@graytonw5238]

I've been thinking back a lot lately about Glen Campbell and Jerry Reed, those were great times back in the 70s. Does anybody know if this clip was from when Jerry was on the Glen Campbell Goodtime show? I'm trying to figure out if this would have been around the early to mid 70s, since Jerry was in Smokey and the Bandit in the late 70s. He looks younger here, but maybe not.

[@jsims149]

Jerry wonderful talent, looks like this is prior to cigarettes seriously damaging his lungs imho ps no critique of Jerry at all, life is what it is.

[@weshansel7506]

This looks like it was on Pop Goes the Country with Ralph Emery.

[@Luke-pk9fe]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@hannahsfive]

One of the early nylon cutaways I imagine - I wonder where that guitar is now?

[@gotahvcls]

Home made / Home Cut - away. I think Brent Mason has it now. (look up Brent, you'll thank me for it)

[@jackiewilburn3063]

@@gotahvcls Jerry gave it to Paul Yandell and Paul gave it to Jerry's family before Paul passed away

[@gotahvcls]

@@jackiewilburn3063 Mr W, it is very cool of you to bother to reply. I'm trying to remember if I saw Brent playing it at the annual Jerry music events I see on YT. - maybe he borrowed it. Bit of Tid, didn't I see Marty Stuart with Clarence White's Auto String Bender? He described how he came to have it, from familly I think he said. HEY JACKIE .. .. ... Be Well

What kind of person could downvote this song?

[@davidtaylor6613]

You can easily get away with calling everybody son if you can play like that.

[@christopherreed2694]

No the clothes makers in the 70s were on coke ludes and magic mushrooms that shirt looks normal wen your in that state is a great song tho

[@ZalMoxis]

Not bad for a 70's handler of MKUltra participants of the time like Cathy O'Brien.

[@RunninOnCoal]

Lol, Go on, I've never heard that one. Do you have a link?

[@thesebonesroll7s]

Lol! Then he became the "Alabama Wild Man"!
