- Jerry Reed nimbly performs his plucky rendition of "City Of New Orleans", written by Steve Goodman. The song was made famous by Arlo Guthrie and has been covered by many artists since then including Willie Nelson, with his Grammy-winning version.
Reed was born in Atlanta, Georgia.

A lesson in how to burn cool. A zen magic only known to true masters and a calm that comes after weathering great storms. The subtle weariness and strong confidence of a lifetime lived by a thoughtful, good hearted man. Pure soul. Thank you, Jerry.
Eloquently put.
Amen!
YES!!! Very well said!
Yes and yes. It takes a tremendous gift to swing this hard and yet gently at the same time.
Beautifully put, hope your well
That harmonica!! This groove takes me back to being a kid in the 70's.
...and there you have one of the all-time very best musicians and entertainers.
Moments like this are gold.
I hope people realize this is one of the best guitar players of all time
Yes he sure is. I’ve played 37 years, this man is loaded with 5 lifetimes of riffs
@@davidkopec9442 ha I just heard of video of him playing with Chet Atkins and after his solo he goes ‘help me out Chet I’m all out of licks’, and I was thinking ‘bullshit Jerry, you never did run out of licks’
His tone is crap
@@billysunday7507 He always seemed to want to play an acoustic like an electric; I often wondered.... why not just play an electric?
That is very debatable. He was damn good but the best? Nah
He just makes it look so effortless and smooth. Top stuff.
I love the way he throws in all those great licks between the verses. He's a one man band !
Just mind blowing how good he was.
What an amazing artist he was. RIP.
With Burt Reynold's passing, a lot of us are revisiting Jerry and his music as well. What a talent! He was one of Burt's very best friends. RIP good buddies...
The Great Jerry Reed is my favorite guitar player and singer. I listen to him almost every day.
Same goes for me 🤠
What a talent he was....and I wasn't paying attention until much much later in his career....
I absolutely marvel at his guitar technique.....
What a groove. What an arrangement. Just perfect
So much talent. Great songwriter and good actor too.
Insanely underrated guitarist.
By who?
@Evan Hodge Because I think Jerry Reed deserves to be mentioned more often as a great guitarist? Haha. Seems unusual, but it's interesting, at least. 😆😆😆
@@Datanditto
By anyone who thinks Jimmy Page is a great guitar player.
@@BluesDeville and you are..?
@@Datanditto
Your daddy.
what a sound ;;;
Can’t you hear it??? The man ooozes talent and personality. I have always loved
Jerry Reed.🌟
Jerry was such a talented composer and arranger, as well as a world class guitarist. This version along with Steve Goodman's own are my two favourite presentations of this classic tune.
Wow, this is my first time hearing this - and its great!!!
Have a listen to Arlo Guthrie’s version
Sweet lord! Look at that control he has playing guitar as he sings on top of it! His picking was so clean! I’ve got to learn some Jerry Reed because he’s my favorite country player! Hell, I might just throw my guitar away! 😂
Jerry loved carp fishing and had some great stories about it. A total and complete people pleaser of an entertainer.
A complete and total natural gutiaist/musician. He made it look effortless.
A master always does.
I’ve listened to this on the daily... so relaxing.
Damn, Jerry Reed was one hell of a guitarist!
I've always loved Jerry's style one of the great ones.
It's a shame all these people are dead and gone I miss the entertainers of the sixty's and seventys
Whough, this is one of his best performances, thanx 4 sharing!
Saw him at the Crete fairgrounds,,,,,early '70's....great show.
I have been an admirer of his for many years! Yes he is good, very very good
Flawless! Rest In Peace Jerry 🙏🏾
Completely flawless!
Could this man pick or what ? !!! Gotta luv it !
Magic ...and Jerry makes it sound effortless !
Greatest guitar innovator of our time
this man! those fingers! that ear! AND THAT THUMB! thanks you unknown deities:)! Thank you Jerry.
I have never heard Jerry Reed pick and/or sing a song I didn't like. He was the best kept secrete of the south.
A GREAT song! A great performer! Thanks!🌞
He was an amazing guitar player and songwriter.🎵
I think that is about the only song i've heard Jerry do where i didn't absolutly love it!
That dark, warm, syrupy phaser tone!
Exactly!
If I could have a soundtrack for my life I’d want this guy on a lot of it!
Pretty darn excellent!
So talented and handsome, I loved watching him on tv in the 70s he seemed to be everywhere and I thought he was so good looking and I was just 4 or 5 yrs old.
Has a guitar player myself the late Jerry Reed was one of the best thier ever was It's sad he didn't get the recognition he deserves enough said
This is such a great that be sung and played in so many different genre.
What a great talent, we sure could use his type around today.
“What would the world be like without Jerry Reed? I guess we’ll never know…”
poetry and musical mechinacs in action, and a good old boy!
Sometimes humble down to earth good o’l boy, with talent coming outa everywhere . Cledus you can sing at my party anytime.
My wife and I met Steve Goodman, his wife Lorraine and 2yr old daughter in a park in Hawaii. Were it not for his friend, Arlo Guthrie's arrangement of 'City of New Orleans' no one would have ever heard of Steve Goodman.
Nylon string with thumbpicks and a phase shifter -- amazing
Is playing in an open tuning?
An amazing guitar player. son.
Adios Jerry. thanks for making us smile
Grew up with some of the greatest guitarists ever, Jerry, Chet, Roy, Glen , they are all gone now and America has gone to pieces....treasure the days of yesteryear....
I love Jerry Reed.
there is a special corner of hell specifically for the 41 who thumbs downed this video, lol
Ignorant people ...cant be helped
Did you ever think that Jerry Reed himself might be in hell? Just sayin'. Seems like everybody thinks their favorite celebrities automatically go to heaven.
@@richardgray8593 I don't believe in heaven or hell but I don't understand the thumbs down ...
@@nicoperat I don't understand the thumbs down either, but EVERY TH-cam music video gets them no matter how good they are.
Oh okay. So anybody who doesn’t like Jerry reeds music automatically has their souls damned for eternity. Seems reasonable to me
Jerry is just a great musican that never got enough pats on the back. The man was a simple man, that was just a good ole boy that was as human as us all.
Besides being a brilliant Guitarist who I had to pleasure to see live once late 70's at Summerfest Milwaukee. He was also a Military veteran. He Enlisted in the Army in 1958 and supported veteran groups the rest of his life. In those days it was all live one track recording no over dubbing what a Guitarist he was. He could play slow as in this song of chicken pick with the best of them. Great job Mr. Reed
Mercy shake son I miss Jerry
Jerry Reed was a good human being. God bless him!
I LOVE the phasing effect!!!
One of a Kind 👍
Just sublime
Grateful that I was alive when he was back in the days when "Smokey and The Bandit" took the country by storm!
Thats really good good music . ( Everything of Jerry Reed ) ....
This just feels good --incredible
Jerry Reed rules man.
Jerry Reed was the gold standard in Nashville, hence, the world.
Oh man, what an epic song!
What a talent he was!
Great Travis picking version. Cool intro. Like the singing, too. Smooth, not too loud.
Dang, clean fret work….not a scuff. Beautiful
Steve Goodman ... Jerry Reed...wow!
Possibly the most underrated guitarist of all time. Son!
I always knew Jerry Reed was a monster guitar player, he played with Chet Atkins.
This is just another perfect example.
A true master of the guitar....
No matter what he did always great and always very cool
fantastic Snowman!!!
Jerry was a hell of a guitar player.never got enough credit 🎸
He was great how he treats that guitar man man
One of a kind. The type they will not allow a record today
Best rendition ever ❤.
This beats the album version hands down.The mouth organ/harmonica is a superb accompaniment to Jerry Reeds voice..
holy god.........this is talent on steroids!!!
I think Jerry is one of the few who could make this song his own.
Una versione magnifica....
ooh yes !! I LOVE THIS GUY!!! Can't he play that guitar!!!!
How many of todays Pop, Rock,rap,crap country music wailers have a small bit of talent like the Legends have.
Wow, amazing arrangement!
Absolute legend and maverick,,, so talented, on a differant wave length to some, but that's their loss
Yep...dat's de "Wild man from Alabama!" Was quite a talented guitarist...RIP ol buddy!
Jerry puts a little rhythm & blues into 'City Of New Orleans'.
Love Jerry
I don't know how many times I've watched this - a lot. I think tuning is open G - DGDGBD, (capo at 2nd fret, so open A).
This is the thing, he used a lot of different tunings. I’m watching going what the heck is he doing, it’s got to be something other than standard.
@@nancyeaton731 If you play, the tab is available online, just google it. It is in open G, capo 2.
@@realist7250 Thanks, but I really hate tab, I would rather just watch fingers and slow down the video, but that’s not an option here. This might be a video lesson somewhere. I do appreciate the response, though. Reed was an incredible player. Genius.
@@nancyeaton731 It is an option (part anyway), just slow it down using the settings button, but it is quite a difficult piece to follow so I would recommend using the tab as well.
Pure genies
What happened to great country music .it certainly didn’t go in the right direction..love this and all the old timers...
Such a nice rendition of an Steve Goodman original.
That’s Jerry for you. Doing everything wrong but making it sound so right. Playing a classical guitar (with a pick) thru an amp with heavy wha or flanger (or both). He was so awesome. Playing a classic Chet Atkins muted bass line. LOVE IT.
Dude could pick!
It's so funny to me that Jerry thought of himself as primarily a singer, because he was a ridiculously good guitarist. I honestly think he was better than Chet.
Absolutely!
Hard to know your good at something you don't think about
Better than Chet? I wouldn't agree with that. Both were the best of the best in their own styles.
Smooth.
very favorite song
I think so to very under rated at the CAAS when I was there my self included he was always so high strung and loud crazy acting seemed to be the topic that may have kept him from getting the credit he deserves .
