For your next Jerry song, please do "She Got the Gold Mine, I Got the Shaft". Great tune. Also, I remember Jerry in a movie called The Survivors, where Jerry played (I kid you not) a hitman. The movie also starred Robin Williams and Walter Matthau.
It is worth sitting through the entire movie to get to watch the "showdown" between Jerry and Robin and Walter in the final part of the movie. It's hilarious. Whole movie is good.
Another vote for Marie Laveau by Bobby Bare. You will absolutely love it! Gator McCluskey is a Burt Reynolds character in White Lightning and Gator, the movie this song came from.
This is the title song for a movie character, Gator Mcklusky, played by Burt Reynolds in 'White Lightning' and the sequel, 'Gator'. Unlike 'Smokey and The Bandit', both White Lightning and Gator are action/dramas with much darker tones.
Need to check out “Guitar Man”. Great song, so good, Elvis covered it, and had to get Jerry Reed to come from a fishing trip to play the guitar for his recording, cause nobody could do it like Jerry. And another fun fact, Elvis would always would get like 50% of the rights to the songs he covered, and after Jerry did his thing at the studio with Elvis, one of this people came up to Jerry and told him Elvis usually gets X amount of the song rights, Jerry said NO WAY. But Elvis like it so much, he didnt do anything about it. In fact, Elvis wanted to cover Dolly Parton’s i will always love you, but he never did, because Dolly wouldnt give any of the rights over to her song, even though she would have loved for him to do it.
"Gator" (1976) is a movie - sequel to "White Lightening" (1973) - both starring Burt Reynolds (as Gator McKlusky) with Jerry Reed in "Gator" as a hitman. Worth checking out over on the movie channel.
I have been to alot of concerts i am 64 but let me tell Jerry reed was my all time favorite. I such a great time singing his songs with him and knew i knew them all. It was so awesome. I will remember it forever.
@@emeraldmaiden63 that's how I got into Jerry too. Dad loved him. Great memories as my Dad has been gone 24 years now. I hear you on that for sure. Cherish those memories we have of them.❤
@Jeffrey Flint I will always remember my dad as a young man, as he died in 1983 at age 41. Lung cancer. I hope you have many good memories of your father.
@@emeraldmaiden63 wow! Younger than mine. I do have great memories of him. He was 58 when he died. Heart attack got him although it was the third one. Crazy when you think how quickly time goes by. That was in 1999. Mom died at 52 in her third insulin coma in 1992. I hope you still have your mama .
Great reaction. Jerry Reed is one of the best storytellers. She Got The Goldmine I Got The Shaft , and When You're Hot You're Hot are a couple really good ones by him. Yall should do some Roger Miller he's another good storyteller.
Gator McClusky was a person in the movie "Gator". It was a follow up movie to "White Lightning" both stared Burt Reynolds. Burt and Jerry have a long history together. Three movies together.
I had the pleasure of attending an outdoor concert with my father-in-law and hearing Jerry Reed live. A fun experience that I certainly treasure, especially now that my father-in-law is no longer with us. Jerry was the most entertaining performer I have ever seen.
Jay & Amber I think that it is time for reaction of the movie, Gator with Jerry Reed aka "Bama" McCall and Burt Reynolds aka "Gator" McKlusky. This is Burt's 1st as a director of a movie. Burt honored his college professor, Watson B. Duncan III by having Duncan in the movie. Duncan is well known in South Florida especially Burt's home county of Palm Beach, Florida.
Jerry Reed one of the greats in the world of guitar players, He also wrote great songs too ..Guitar Man ...This thing called love , Last train to clarksville .. ... One of my Hero's
"Gator McClusky" = Burt Reynolds in the film, "Gator". "The Okefenokee Swamp is a shallow, 438,000-acre, peat-filled wetland straddling the Georgia-Florida line in the United States."
Love these bayou songs!!! I think this was from the movie Gator, starting Burt Reynolds! Jerry Reed was awesome....check out his "When You're Hot, You're Hot!". You'd like Charlie Daniels story song "Wooly Swamp", and OMG, Bobby Bare's "Marie Laveau"!!! Please!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just an idea, since we've met all your kids on this channel, and watched one of them being born, why not introduce us to Mama? And let her tell us some of these Jerry Reed stories. I bet it would be a hoot and a holler for everyone involved (especially us!) 😊
A great 70s country song with a unique voice is Earl Thomas Conley with "Holding Her and Loving You". A Keith Whitley type voice and I am sure the J&A team will love it.
Jerry was just so good. Two more great songs from Jerry are Guitar Man and a song about divorce called She Got the Goldmine, and I Got the Shaft. Also for another story song, Charlie Daniels Band's song called The Legend of Wooly Swamp.
Another great reaction, as always. Can't go wrong with Jerry Reed, he's a legend! I've been watching your music reactions from the beginning, and if I may, I'd like to offer one bit of constructive criticism. Your background has gotten much busier with all those great pictures of musicians, but it's so busy now, that the two of you don't stand out as much as you used to. It's like visually, you're fading into the background. Do what you like with that advice, and keep making the great music and movie reactions!
There is another fun "trucking" movie called "Convoy". I know you guys would like it a lot. It's fun, has catchy tunes, and it made the handle "Rubber Duck" famous as he put the "hammer down". Also, a song called "My Dingaling", "The Streak", and "It's Me Again Margaret.". I was just a kid, but these songs were so fun when they came out.
Jay I received a message from your boy. He said he heard you saying that he wasn’t even in your top 3 anymore. He asked me if I could tell you that he would like you to reconsider. He said that he put on the most banging performance of a life time at the River Plate. He wants you to see how he took over the show when they amped up “Let There Be Rock” He’s looking to be your number 1 boy again. You won’t be disappointed. Remember he did this just for you at the River Plate Live! Angus wants his spot back!!!
Along with Roy Clark and Jim Stafford, Jerry Reed was probably one of the greatest guitarists in country music, imo. To see his true musical talent, check out "Lightning Rod" or "Sugarfoot Rag"
Jerry Reed is a heck of a guitar player too , check out the song EASTBOUND & DOWN There's a live video of it of him singing and playing Keep up the good work Rob Squad Couple more songs that are good SHE GOT THE GOLDMINE (I got the shaft) Or WHEN YOU'RE HOT YOU'RE HOT
Jerry Reed wrote and recorded the soundtrack to Smokey and the Bandit in one week, the producer of the movie told him if he wanted the part in the movie the soundtrack had to be done in one week and he did it
I'm going through his discography in my car on MP3 and there are gems in there. "Jerry Reed Explores Guitar Country" is the best so far with more to follow!
So many Jerry songs , Guitar Man, may the bird of paradise fly up your nose, Hot Stuff, She got the gold mine I got the Shaft, etc. Pretty much can't go wrong with Jerry.
Great to see you two finally getting caught up on the classics!!! Greetings from Seattle!! Me and my sister and brother-in-law in South Carolina love y'all!!
Jerry Reed is a great musician, actor & storyteller! Now,‘it’s time to get back to the icon storytelling of HARRY CHAPIN. Mr. Tanner is a sweet story that will make Amber cry. Cats in the Cradle is a story Jay will love about missed moments in fatherhood. I want to Learn a Love Song is sweet story that may be from Harry’s life. Gotta get back to HARRY CHAPIN. You’ve only reacted to one of his songs so far. Loving you guys from sunny So. Cal!
Jerry Reed is also the only artist to tell Elvis " NO " as Elvis wanted Guitar man and Jerry recorded it with him to show how to reach the riffs as they were having problems with it. He came in, showed them and they told Jerry that it was now Elvis's song and he said no, and help out till Elvis said " pay the man. Great story to look up.
Another Country performer you should give a listen to is Roy Clark. Absolutely one of the very best guitarists of all time. He had a lot of comedic songs and some serious ones, but I recommend listening to his playing of the instrumental song "Malaguena". There are two versions, the standard Flamenco style and a very fast paced version he did live on the old TV show "The Odd Couple". The Odd Couple version will leave you astounded!
🎸ohMY... Roy's Guitar talent often gets overlooked(I think) because he is such a Goofball between songs, and Most of the stuff he does was just Standard Country.. "Malaguena" is just SO good
Jerry wrote and performed "Guitar Man". Elvis wanted to recorded they had to bring Jerry in to show them how he played it as none of the studio guys could recreate the sound of Jerry reeds song
Don't know which came first, but there was a pair of movies from the 70s starring Burt Reynolds portraying the character Gator McKlusky. One was called White Lightning and the other was Gator. Along with some innovative song stories it's worth noting Jerry Reed was an amazing guitarist. Keep finding this old gems. Thanks.
This song comes from the movie "Gator " (1976). Burt Reynolds was Gator McKlusky and Jerry Reed played a character named Bama McCall. Smokey and the Bandit was also made in 1976 also with Reynolds and Reed. I have always been amazed how good an actor Jerry Reed was. He was a musician first though. Great video.
Hi Jay and Amber… so cool you’re discovering Jerry Reed. I love his distinctive guitar finger-plucking sound. Great story songs to consider from him next: 1. When You’re Hot, You’re Hot 2. She Got the Gold Mine (I Got the Shaft) 3. Guitar Man I think you would love them all, and have them stuck in your head for weeks. I am always looking forward to your reaction videos! Thanks for doing such a great job on them.
The movie Gator was filmed in 1976 right down the road from me in & around the Okefenokee swamp & Savannah Georgia, you guys need to do the movie reaction to it & the one before it White Lightning 1973 ✌💖☮
There's a really fun video featuring Jerry for Amos Moses. You'll love it. I grew up listening to Jerry. So great that young people in 2023 can still enjoy what many feel is a great and entertaining artist like Jerry.
Welcome to the gem filled Reed Jerry rabbit hole. Gator was a motion picture as well, and you might've guessed it starred Ol' Burt and Jerr Bear. Jerry plays a number of great villains, do you remember Coach Red Bayou from Waterboy? Yep that's Jerry. You should check out his F-16 monologue. My favorite songs of his are Lord Mr. Ford, Preacher and the Bear, The Bird, Don't Think Twice (Bob Dylan cover), any of his collaborations with B.B. King, and Guitar man. There's also a story about how he got over on Elvis, relating to Guitar Man.
Gator was recorded for a movie with the same name, starring none other than Burt Reynolds. Another Jerry Reed banger... She Got the Gold Mine, I Got The Shaft.
![Jerry Reed -- PMS I Think [REACTION/GIFT REQUEST]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z-z9nRBdOwE/mqdefault.jpg)
For your next Jerry song, please do "She Got the Gold Mine, I Got the Shaft". Great tune. Also, I remember Jerry in a movie called The Survivors, where Jerry played (I kid you not) a hitman. The movie also starred Robin Williams and Walter Matthau.
My favorite.
Awesome movie
Holy crap really? I need to see it!
Yes- please do this one!
It is worth sitting through the entire movie to get to watch the "showdown" between Jerry and Robin and Walter in the final part of the movie. It's hilarious. Whole movie is good.
Another vote for Marie Laveau by Bobby Bare. You will absolutely love it! Gator McCluskey is a Burt Reynolds character in White Lightning and Gator, the movie this song came from.
I love that movie Gator. White Lighting is fine but Gator was the best. I love Jerry in that movie. He played a good bad guy.
White Lightning and Gator are the best!!
If you do Bobby Bare I would suggest The Winner.
Yes!!!
I’m actually reading a book on her and her life at the moment!
This is the title song for a movie character, Gator Mcklusky, played by Burt Reynolds in 'White Lightning' and the sequel, 'Gator'. Unlike 'Smokey and The Bandit', both White Lightning and Gator are action/dramas with much darker tones.
One of my favorite stunts at the end with the truck on the beach. And Jerry Reed does a great job as a villan.
Love them movies
Need to check out “Guitar Man”. Great song, so good, Elvis covered it, and had to get Jerry Reed to come from a fishing trip to play the guitar for his recording, cause nobody could do it like Jerry. And another fun fact, Elvis would always would get like 50% of the rights to the songs he covered, and after Jerry did his thing at the studio with Elvis, one of this people came up to Jerry and told him Elvis usually gets X amount of the song rights, Jerry said NO WAY. But Elvis like it so much, he didnt do anything about it.

"Gator" (1976) is a movie - sequel to "White Lightening" (1973) - both starring Burt Reynolds (as Gator McKlusky) with Jerry Reed in "Gator" as a hitman. Worth checking out over on the movie channel.
I like “White Lightning” better as a move. Also starring “Gator”
Yall gota watch these movies. woot.
Agreed!!
White Lightening has Jerry Reeds brother acting in the movie Bo Hopkins with Burt Reynolds running shine
White Lightning in my opinion is Burt's best movie.
If you like Jerry Reed's comedy, I think you'll like Mac Davis. His song "It's hard to be humble" is awesome! I guarante you'll love it 😂
Don't get Hooked On Me.
For the NFL draft how about Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life. 😂
Never forget that Mac Davis wrote the Elvis song "IN THE GHETTO", which Rob Squad already did.
@@stevenbentley310 He also wrote Watching Scotty Grow, a hit for Bobby Goldsboro.
Happiness is Texas in the rear view mirror. Good song.
I have been to alot of concerts i am 64 but let me tell Jerry reed was my all time favorite. I such a great time singing his songs with him and knew i knew them all. It was so awesome. I will remember it forever.
the Okeefonokee Borders Florida and Georgia and is a Swamp park so to speak. Jerry Reed Rocks!
Love your selection on this. Jerry Reed has been one of my favourite artists since the sixties. Try out When You're Hot, You're Hot.
My absolute favorite ❤
My favorite! Used to be my dad's favorite, too, so it's a memory of my father. ❤
@@emeraldmaiden63 that's how I got into Jerry too. Dad loved him. Great memories as my Dad has been gone 24 years now. I hear you on that for sure. Cherish those memories we have of them.❤
@Jeffrey Flint I will always remember my dad as a young man, as he died in 1983 at age 41. Lung cancer. I hope you have many good memories of your father.

Great reaction. Jerry Reed is one of the best storytellers. She Got The Goldmine I Got The Shaft , and When You're Hot You're Hot are a couple really good ones by him. Yall should do some Roger Miller he's another good storyteller.
Jerry Reed was a PHENOMENAL entertainer...
Gator McClusky was a person in the movie "Gator". It was a follow up movie to "White Lightning" both stared Burt Reynolds. Burt and Jerry have a long history together. Three movies together.
Jerry Reed and Glenn Campbell were two of the very best guitarists. The whole Gator album was gold. Rooster Jones, great song.
I had the pleasure of attending an outdoor concert with my father-in-law and hearing Jerry Reed live. A fun experience that I certainly treasure, especially now that my father-in-law is no longer with us. Jerry was the most entertaining performer I have ever seen.
He has other great songs like East Bound and Down, When You're Hot You're Hot, She Got the Gold mine(I Got the Shaft)! All are great!
Yeah, these rigtht here!
This is from two Burt Reynolds movies Gator & white lighting both from the 70s. I love you guys God Bless you and your family them best babies 🙏🇺🇸
How don't know how ANYONE could dislike Jerry Reed!
Well, those bikers whose bikes he ran over probably don't like him much. j/k hehe
Jay & Amber
I think that it is time for reaction of the movie, Gator with Jerry Reed aka "Bama" McCall and Burt Reynolds aka "Gator" McKlusky. This is Burt's 1st as a director of a movie. Burt honored his college professor, Watson B. Duncan III by having Duncan in the movie. Duncan is well known in South Florida especially Burt's home county of Palm Beach, Florida.
Amber
Okeefenokee Swamp sits between Florida and Georgia. This swamp is designated as National Natural Landmark.
I thought this song was from the movie. Thank you for the intel!
@@fugly747 It was
2 movies about Gator McKlusky, White Lightning and Gator. Both starring Burt Reynolds. In Gator Jerry Reed plays Bama McCall
Marc Broussard-Home. I promise you will love it. Southern rocking soul.
Jerry Reed one of the greats in the world of guitar players, He also wrote great songs too ..Guitar Man ...This thing called love , Last train to clarksville .. ... One of my Hero's
You guys are so musically diversified that it is absolutely wonderful! ❤️
He is one of the most underrated guitar players ever. Great storyteller.
"Gator McClusky" = Burt Reynolds in the film, "Gator".
"The Okefenokee Swamp is a shallow, 438,000-acre, peat-filled wetland straddling the Georgia-Florida line in the United States."
I remember when part of it caught on fire on yezr after having drought in Ga.
Jerry reed one of the top ten guitarists EVER
Gator was also a Burt Reynolds movie.
Y’all must watch Jerry live….it’s special! The guitar work you hear is Jerry.
I have a song for Amber it's David Frizzell and Shelly west singing "You're the reason God made Oklahoma"its a nice song...
Love this one 🥰
Jerry Reed - The preacher and the Bear.
He was one of the greatest guitarists of all time
He was so under rated. Jerry could do anything
The Okefenokee Swamp (O-kee-fin-o-kee) covers the Florida/Georgia line.
You really need to watch him live and watch what a great guitarist he was. Another great song would be The Bird. Great story song. Great reaction
You two are AWESOME!!! Never judgemental. You are always up for a new sound!!! ❤
Love these bayou songs!!! I think this was from the movie Gator, starting Burt Reynolds! Jerry Reed was awesome....check out his "When You're Hot, You're Hot!". You'd like Charlie Daniels story song "Wooly Swamp", and OMG, Bobby Bare's "Marie Laveau"!!! Please!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did you ever hear Dr Hook do Marie Laveaux?
@@moominpic no I never have, I'll have to find that!! They were great too!! Thanks!! ❤️
Gator (1976) movie by the same name. Stars Burt Reynolds and Jerry reed. Watch it.
Part of the Soundtrack for the Movie Gator with Burt Reynold playing Gator. They did a lot of movies together.
"She Got the Gold Mine, I Got the Shaft" and "The Bird" are great and funny Jerry Reed story songs.
Just an idea, since we've met all your kids on this channel, and watched one of them being born, why not introduce us to Mama? And let her tell us some of these Jerry Reed stories. I bet it would be a hoot and a holler for everyone involved (especially us!) 😊
THIS! ^^^^^^^^^^
Yes!
ALL THE YES'S❤
A great 70s country song with a unique voice is Earl Thomas Conley with "Holding Her and Loving You". A Keith Whitley type voice and I am sure the J&A team will love it.
If your Mom is a Jerry Reed fan you definitely should listen to her more often😉
Great storyteller, singer, and actor. Was nice guy in real life too. Another one of the most underrated guitar players in music history.
Jerry was just so good. Two more great songs from Jerry are Guitar Man and a song about divorce called She Got the Goldmine, and I Got the Shaft. Also for another story song, Charlie Daniels Band's song called The Legend of Wooly Swamp.

Another great swamp story is "The Legion of the Wooly Swamp" by The Charlie Daniels Band.
Great Burt Reynolds movie from the 70s
Marty Robbins El Paso is a very good song to listen to I highly recommended it

Keep up the good work Rob Squad
Couple more songs that are good
SHE GOT THE GOLDMINE (I got the shaft)
Or
WHEN YOU'RE HOT YOU'RE HOT
They have kinda as they watched 'Smokey & the Bandit' recently. Cheers.
Y'all should check out the movie Gator but do white lightning first
Or "Deliverance" which was way better than either of those, with Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, Jon Voight, and Ronny Cox.
Love listening to Jerry can always bring a smile to your face.
Yes, Yes, Yes!!! I am so happy you did this song. Absolutely one of my favorites by Jerry. So Cool!
Jerry Reed wrote and recorded the soundtrack to Smokey and the Bandit in one week, the producer of the movie told him if he wanted the part in the movie the soundtrack had to be done in one week and he did it
Jerry Reed and Conway Twitty are 2 of the most played singers in my house. Can't beat Jerry's amazing lyrics, funky beats and deep catalog of hits.
I'm going through his discography in my car on MP3 and there are gems in there. "Jerry Reed Explores Guitar Country" is the best so far with more to follow!
Jerry Reed and B B King were fantastic on guitars together.
For nearly 30 years, I lived 30 miles from the Okefenokee Swamp. Thanks for the great reaction. Check out the movies "White Lightning" and "Gator".
Watch him live and see his talents and terrific facial expressions!
Jerry was a great guitar player also.
Top tier!
I always LOVED this song when I was a kid!
So many Jerry songs , Guitar Man, may the bird of paradise fly up your nose, Hot Stuff, She got the gold mine I got the Shaft, etc. Pretty much can't go wrong with Jerry.
Hey Guys...check out the movie "Bat 21" with Jerry Reed and Danny Glover.
This song is the opening of the movie Gator featuring Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed. Definitely worth watching.
“She got the goldmine (I got the shaft)! Great song.
I love your video and view of Jerry Reed. He was a dear friend and I was his bass player. Thank you for sharing your videos. Much love God bless.
If I'm not mistaken, this is from the movie Gator starring Burt Reynolds!
Great to see you two finally getting caught up on the classics!!! Greetings from Seattle!! Me and my sister and brother-in-law in South Carolina love y'all!!
What a voice -- what a story teller!
Jerry Reed is a great musician, actor & storyteller! Now,‘it’s time to get back to the icon storytelling of HARRY CHAPIN.
Mr. Tanner is a sweet story that will make Amber cry.
Cats in the Cradle is a story Jay will love about missed moments in fatherhood.
I want to Learn a Love Song is sweet story that may be from Harry’s life. Gotta get back to HARRY CHAPIN. You’ve only reacted to one of his songs so far. Loving you guys from sunny So. Cal!
She Got the Goldmine, I Got the Shaft, classic. Jerry had a sound. Thanks for the smile.

Jerry Reed was great, loved this song.
More Jerry

"When You're Hot, You're Hot" is another of JR's gems.
Seen Jerry Reed in Concert. WOW
Written for the movie "Gator " with Burt Reynolds. He was also in the movie Bat 21 with Gene Hackman and Danny Glover a very under rated movie.
Another Country performer you should give a listen to is Roy Clark. Absolutely one of the very best guitarists of all time. He had a lot of comedic songs and some serious ones, but I recommend listening to his playing of the instrumental song "Malaguena".

LOVE Jerry Reed.
you need to do a live performance by Jerry Reed. His guitar skills will blow your mind.
Hi Jay and Amber… so cool you’re discovering Jerry Reed. I love his distinctive guitar finger-plucking sound. Great story songs to consider from him next:
1. When You’re Hot, You’re Hot
2. She Got the Gold Mine (I Got the Shaft)
3. Guitar Man
I think you would love them all, and have them stuck in your head for weeks.
I am always looking forward to your reaction videos! Thanks for doing such a great job on them.

Jerry Reed… “Uptown Poker Club”, “Framed”, “She Got the Goldmine, I Got the Shaft”. All hilarious!
