This is Jerry Reed playing, "The Man With The Golden Thumb." Great performance and a testimony to the credibility and staying power of the Wrangler Country Starsearch, now known as the Texaco Country Showdown - the largest and longest running Country Music Talent search in the nation!

I just remembered Jerry Reed as a jokey country guy from my childhood. Watching him today I am blown away by his effortless musicianship and ability to perform. The way he commands a stage and leads a band is amazing.

You can tell when the comments are few and far between that either this wonderful man was either a 'turkey' or a great musician, that 'turkeys' failed to appreciate. Jerry Reed was a great musician ... he was also a great composer and all round entertainer. Anyone who played with Chet Atkins was no 'turkey'.

Mad Robot Games Jerry is my hero and I’m 16. I’ve been one of his biggest fans since I was 13 or so. So you’re right! I hope more young people will discover him because he was the best musician ever in this world.

Great song. For some reason I have only heard this song a couple of times. Jerry has unique gift for telling a story and putting some insane guitar riffs into the mix.

Jerry Reed was such a fabulous player. I love this video. They're all playing the same guitar brand/model (I can't work out what it is). I'm guessing the band had an endorsement deal.

Devil went down to Georgia?

@mountainmama1951 4 жыл бұрын

Devil Went Down to Georgia was released by Charlie Daniels Band in 1979. Jerry's Golden Thumb came later, in 1982. Surely there was some influence... but country music has always built on its past. Not saying that's necessarily a bad thing.

That's 3 Aria Pro ii TA guitars, made by Matsumoku, in one band! Don't know about the bass and the banjo. They built good instruments. Pity that Singer hadn't protected the factory against their own bankruptcy.

@jimshorts6751 Жыл бұрын

Singer sewing machines are what killed the Matsumoku factory. The best and most talented Luther's ended up making custom Japanese Fenders that were better than Fender Custom Shops of the day. Many went to South Korea to support the new Gibson factory, which is why many Epiphones up to 1997 are very well built. The same Luther's built Peerless, who in turn made high end Epi's. Never chase a factory, follow the individual workers, they are th talent. Speaking of Fender, they're 'Fender' in name only. Leo went on to help start Musicman (as good of amp, better guitars), and G&L... hisnlast business before he died. The greatest improvements to Fender guitarsncannbe found at G&L. Better bridge, more advanced and quiet pickups, and everything is treated as a 'Custom Shop' order, besides their low-priced entry level stuff. Leo trained those guys well, then there is Suhr who also comes from Fender. Similar thing with Gibson USA when they moved their factory. Heritage Guitars make equals to Gibsons in every way. Some are much better. 🤷‍♂️
