RIP Jerry Reed
To those who only really knew him as Cletus Snow from the Smokey and the Bandit movies, he was GREAT guitar player too.

Whoa, no way.
When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not…
O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen,
und freudenvollere.
sad indeed
jerry reed is one of my favorites…he seemed like he loved living his life…i am a songwriter in okc and when i perform we play under the moniker ‘jerry redd and the snowmen’ (my nickname is red)…was talking to a friend of mine last night who was a nashville player back in the 70’s and he recounted a couple of meetings with jerry that confirmed his ornery and funloving reputation
I might get lampooned for saying this, but he had a lot of acting potential
Forget the caricatured buffoonery of Smokey and B. If you guys haven’t seen it, check him out in Gator:

He had a legitimate knack for summoning up some deep-smoldering malevolence, he did.
Likewise, in another justifiably overlooked film, he stole every scene he was in:

Last week I took a pleasure trip. I drove my wife to the airport.
