 The Esential Jerry Reed cd February 17, 2008
Rebecca Bailey (Fresno, CA USA)
After listening to the first song, old memories return. You'll be impressed with all the Jerry Reed songs you actually know and love, but forgot about. Jerry Read's lyrics are funny and entertaining, almost like listening to an old radio show. The range is wide; from comedy to love.

I've always been a fan of Jerry Reed. I like the style of music and the way he plays the guitar. I recommend this cd to anyone who loves Jerry Reed.
Jerry Reed an American Original September 21, 2007
Thin Timmy (New Orleans, La.)
Jerry Reed was one of my favorites
when I was 13 and I've been listening
to a cassette for years before I got
this collection. Of course his hits
Amos Moses and When Your Hot but he
has many other sides. Thing called
love, Smell the flowers are great
slower tunes. My favorite Uptown
Poker Club which I hadn't heard for
years is included. Also the Bandit
singles are here as well as his great
solo effort The Claw. If you never
gave Reed a chance heres where u start.

I have been a Jerry Reed fan ever since his movie teamings with Burt Reynolds and specifically his movie music beginning with W.W. AND THE DIXIE DANCE KINGS and SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. Like many late blooming Jerry Reed fans I found myself buying -- as my budget permitted -- both old and new Jerry Reed records and 8-track tapes. With Jerry Reed albums you were almost always guarantied a collection of serious-toned songs, lamenting love songs in the great tradition of George Jones, and plain old songs just for fun like THE COIN MACHINE, SHE GOT THE GOLD MINE I GOT THE SHAFT, THE BIRD, and so on.
With the rise of Compact Discs and rapid extinction of 8-track tapes, cassette tapes, and 33 rpm vinyl records it has been difficult to replicate my Jerry Reed collection on CD. Even my favorite Jerry Reed soundtrack, appearing on albums SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT and RCA's separate release of EAST BOUND AND DOWN, have long since been unavailable. Likewise both volumes of Jerry Reed's greatest hits, which I originally bought on cassette tape, have disappeared. THE ESSENTIAL JERRY REED is the closest a CD has come to capturing the magical highlights of Jerry Reed's anthology.
True, no matter what collection is assembled it will always absent some of the music we enjoy the most. Very often an obscure side B favorite, and not necessarily the album headline song, was the title I found myself ever repeating on my car stereo. For those songs we will all have to wait for future releases or buy the equipment and cables necessary to convert vinyl grooves into CD tracks. In the meantime ESSENTIAL covers enough of Jerry Reed's numbers for me to hold out a little while longer.

This is indeed a pretty fair representation of the work of Jerry Reed. That is unfortunate because it reflects poorly on this gifted entertainer. The songs are "his" but the recording quality is poor. That's a shame.
