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

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.

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.

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

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 !!

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.

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

jerry had it all. and it showed.

Jerry was one of the best!

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.

My favourite guitar player. Great voice as well.

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

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

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

Literal goosebumps through my entire body.

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, ❤️🇨🇦🎸

Truly one of the greatest,.

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

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

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

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

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.

What a beautiful song

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

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

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

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

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

My new fav JR song

Yes! He got it! Beautiful!

Не важно из какой ты страны, и каких политических взглядов ты придерживаешься: папины коленки это та ценность, которая объединяет нас всех.

This is excellent

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.

Merci beaucoup

Incredible!

The best!

Thank you for this video. It was gone and now i am more than happy to found it again.

Thank you for uploading, missed listening to this one.

Your channel is a blessing! Thank you!

perfect music!

Absolute genius

what a genious

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

Masterful

Thanks for writing this little ditty...xoxo

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.

Thanks!

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!

god o mighty

♥️♥️♥️♥️

Son!!!

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.

What kind of person could downvote this song?

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

Son!

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

2 people on here hate their daddy

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

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

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