I didn't realize how bluesy and jazzy Jerry Reed was until I got into him via Tommy E. That dude's creativity is something. Bluesland, Funky Junk, Jiffy Jam, Struttin, Swinging 69, etc. I have learned them all, and my playing is the better for it. Occasionally I will discover another gem like these songs online, and it's always a nice find.
A buddy's father (Don) played guitar for Janie Fricke in the 80s, and that band toured with Jerry Reed for a while. Don told me that Jerry had no cases for his guitars. He would walk on the bus carrying one guitar in each hand, and sometimes he would throw them in storage under the bus sans case! He was a wild man, apparently
