Is that girl on the left 18? Iiiiiiii....... don't know :lmao:





Jerry Reed is a straight up badass. I don't know shit about playing guitar but I know he's one of the best.
 
Roy Clarke looks exactly like my Dad.

My Step-dad. I'm a Nordic.

No seriously, Roy Clarke right here looks exactly like my Dad. Exactly. Body double. Sideburns. Nose. Hair.

My Dad's name was Butch.

This is one of the best guitar performances I know.

 
Hee Haw?

That haystack looks familiar

My grandfather on mom’s side was a die hard fan. You would get a Sears catalogue thrown at you if you fucked around during Hee Haw :laughing:
 
Roy Clarke's version of Alabama Jubilee. Watching him is like looking at my dad.



Jerry Reed's version in the studio

so Blues.



Jerry Reed's version of Alabama Jubilee on TV

rocks so hard

A Canadian.

When I was a kid I thought this was stupid Soft Rock. I was wrong. This is northern folk music, and no Communism.

You won't find this one on radio. One of the best Gordon Lightfoot songs.

 
The Gordon Lightfoot song everyone knows, because why not.

Roy Clarke


Right off the top of my head;

Post one is 1-4-5 in an F# capo and dominant A flat, but /w the capo the dominant becomes a B flat.

Post two is E major dominant 4 with a sustained 2 in the bass, and diminished 2 bridge.

But that's just from listening and watching once, I'd have to break it down further to dissect what they're fully doing. I don't play guitar, so there's that. :flipoff2:
 
I think I've posted this before, this remarkable performance is Jerry playin like he likes it. Because he does. I have envy for any man that is good at what he loves.

 
Roy was more versatile, he could make a steel string "sing" he did a train horn with a fiddle once that was spooky good.

Jerry is cooler tho!
 
Because it and Sundown were played over and over and over all damn day back in the 70s

Yeap. And when I still listened to the radio, I'd know when my Dad's birthday was coming up in November. :lmao:

It is, however, an excellent, sincere, and totally honest Folk Song in a genre that is filled with limp-wristed fakes like Guthries and Robert Zimmerman.
 
Really Like Jerry. What an awesome all around talent. Showed the 11yo boy Smokey and the Bandit a month or so ago. Good shit

You're a bass player aren't you?

I don't know music theory. I was talking about Reed's 'change-ups' with some guitar players on reddit, Jerry is pretty well esteemed, he plays around a lot. I didn't really take him seriously until Amos Moses got included in the Grand Theft Auto radio stations. :lmao: I was like That's a pretty solid pop song. Through the miracle of Youtube, all of Jerry's old albums back into the '60s are available. His covers are stellar.

I love Gord, that whole Summertime Dream album is very listenable.:grinpimp:
On the same Canadian vein, I have somewhere The Band - Greatest Hits, it's pretty enjoyable to play in the truck heading up north to deer camp.
