Jerry was such a humble musician. He could blow the ears and fingers off of anyone but always put the music first. One of the most underrated guitarists likely of all time when it comes to the public perception.
One thing I've noticed in all the clips I've seen of Jerry picking with other folks is how he always respected the other musicians when they were doing their solos. Watching them play and just keeping the rhythm or outright not playing while they did their thing
It's surreal how these two are now buried in the same cemetery. Marty and Jerry are some of my favorites of all time. Their will never be anyone like them.
Look at Martys reaction when he finished his song... this wasn't a job for either of them, this was pure fun and I love seeing that as much as listening to the music.
I think I was around 13 or 14 the first time I heard any country song. Living in Oregon I had spent the night at my friends house. They were from Missouri. So El Paso comes on. It’s my very first country song ever. I was only exposed to Jazz (my parents) and Led Zeppelin (sisters). I loved El Paso. I couldn’t get enough of it. Marty Robbins opened a new world of music for me. (I was also a major Hee Haw fan)
These were my Dad's two favorite artists and I can't deny the insane amount of talent and charisma on that stage. When my father passed on to be with our heavenly father We found a Polaroid picture of Marty Robbins and on the back of it was written "To my son - Thanksgiving 1977". That was 17 days from when I was born. Rest in peace Pop.
My favorite thing about Jerry Reed is that hes always laughing, smiling and having a great time playing music. Its serious business, but not SERIOUS BUSINESS. Dimebag Darrell was and Zakk Wylde is the same way. Serious, but loving it and having fun.
Nobody plays and performs like Jerry Reed, his upbeat songs are still marveled today when one discovers them. Who doesn't love "when your hot your hot"?
Wow what we are missing in country music...show biz but with real country character. Jerry Reed that guitar is perfect. Marty as a singer just abpure singer he is the top before you add all the rest...songwriter and entertainer...but at the most untouchable as a singer
It was late 1981 or early '82. I was around 12 years old and the only country station in town (at the time) played a "new" song late one night. I had NEVER heard a song like it. Instead of a love song or drinking song or cheating song, it told the story of a Texas Ranger. II was really annoyed that they did not give the song title or the singer's name. A few months later, I was doing research on country music for an 8th-grade paper when I read just one sentence about a song called "Big Iron" and my mind went back to the lyrics of that song. "Big Iron, big iron, When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip." I've loved Marty Robbins' music ever since.
One of the greatest country guitarists and vocalists together! Wow! Notice how Jerry defers to Marty when he sings, he doesn’t try to compete , and quietly compliments him. What a pro.
Marty Robbins lived lifetimes in all he accomplished. He was a singer, a writer, an actor , a race car driver, a comedian, a STAR in life and on The Grand Ol Opry. He died much too young.
I remember the night he passed away. I was in 6th grade listening to the clock radio falling asleep... When they announced Marty Robbins died. I cried in my pillow
Yeah !! The Opry was not the same for me after Marty Robbins died !! But I can't understand why the Opry doesn't let the stars children perform on the Opry ?? They sound like their parents and are much better than the new wave that they are promoting !! I would drive 8 hrs for that !!
That’s more talent in two performers than you’ll see in any venue in 2022. Spectacular. Marty Robbins was one of a kind. Then again, so was Jerry Reed. Both real gentlemen and self-effacing. I’d sure love to hear Jerry pick and Marty sing again. Or Vice versa. Jerry Reed was right with Glen Campbell as a picker and has his share of a songbook with hits. Marty certainly could pick and play keyboards with incomparable vocals. It gets no better.
Jerry Reed plays the simplest chords in the world and turn them into gold. No one comps like him, let alone his guitar wizardry, he is the true impersonation of the old Nashville saying : "All you need is three chords and the truth"!
Rose Blake it did make it that much better. Roy Clark was killer on guitar too and acted like an idiot then would melt your face lol. They don’t make em like that anymore, that’s for sure. Love these guys.
Jerry Reed is the First person who comes to mind as the personified definition of "you had me from hello". Immediately, he makes you smile. This guy was literally Born Ready. Great performer, great backup. Great guitar player.
My mom was IN LOVE with Marty Robbins. She had a M.R. calendar in the basement by the washing machine / dryer. At the end of the year, she turned the calendar to her favorite photo of Marty and IT STAYED THERE on into the new year. My parents went to see a country show featuring a bunch of artists from that time, when country music was good (not like now when it's shite). Dad somehow managed to get the two of them back stage and she met and talked to her hero. I freaked out at the end of Breaking Bad when Walter found that Marty Robbins cassette and he played El Paso. Good stuff.
I was always a favorite I love Jerry Reed's songs and I definitely loved him and Smokey and the bandit and that was one of my favorites him and Burt Reynolds and may God be with everyone and God bless you all
Chris Stapleton? Granted his Guitar playing isn't on Jerry's level, Brad and Keith are about all that even come close, or his voice but he ain't no slouch.
Marty Robbins what an entertainer and singer, my mom loved him. Everytime she picked up her guitar she would sing Dont worry about me, Both these guys were comedians, great singers and great musicians.
You made me think about it.....its like an orchestra though. A recording will never give that live performance feel. Although preserved, we have still lost something golden.
Jerry played blues, bluegrass, funk, chicken pickin, old country, and jazz styles in 10 minutes.
THE HECK IS CHICKEN PICKIN
Correct. It's a bit insane.
He is insane. No, funk though really. Unless u can put a timestamp of what I missed
@@michaelsmoak6267 not proper Funk, but his rhythm playing around 0:48 is pretty funky.
@@MonteD1 he's definitely got funk in some of his tunes, love this guy
Two of the finest in country music history. Marty and Jerry are needed today more than ever. REAL TALENT!
Firewood outta that please. I'd rather hear Jerry Reed anytime, love the singing, enthusiasm and picking
Jerry is way more than a country artist, he's a straight up rock legend.
"If I could sing like that, I'd make firewood out of this."
Ol' Jerry was a hoot.
Yeah firewood, that was funny . It wouldn't have been quite as funny if the guitar had resembled an old cricket bat.
Damn he was
Jerry was such a humble musician. He could blow the ears and fingers off of anyone but always put the music first. One of the most underrated guitarists likely of all time when it comes to the public perception.
That's what a pro does. Can't be selfish. 👍
Yeah I never new he could play like that..
Jerry Reed and Glen Campbell, the 2 best ever.
Facts!
Jerry never had the self-confidence he should have had. I don't know why. He was a great guitar player.
Jerry is the consummate entertainer. Together with Marty they are an unbeatable C&W duo.
There’s so much talent in this video my iPad got nominated for a Grammy
One thing I've noticed in all the clips I've seen of Jerry picking with other folks is how he always respected the other musicians when they were doing their solos. Watching them play and just keeping the rhythm or outright not playing while they did their thing
A true artist will let another star shine. I miss these old greats.
This video sure brings back memories.
It's surreal how these two are now buried in the same cemetery. Marty and Jerry are some of my favorites of all time. Their will never be anyone like them.
That was brilliant, such a natural . .
Look at Martys reaction when he finished his song... this wasn't a job for either of them, this was pure fun and I love seeing that as much as listening to the music.
Agree -singers hve t enjoy themselves -so important for us listeners
Best type of musicians. Dont make em like this anymore
Who else does that many covers in 10 mins and does every single one justice
I think I was around 13 or 14 the first time I heard any country song. Living in Oregon I had spent the night at my friends house. They were from Missouri. So El Paso comes on. It’s my very first country song ever. I was only exposed to Jazz (my parents) and Led Zeppelin (sisters). I loved El Paso. I couldn’t get enough of it.

This short video is proof that talent is gone from today’s entertainers and music is dead.
These were my Dad's two favorite artists and I can't deny the insane amount of talent and charisma on that stage.

Gary Brooks I a jolly one too!
Great reference, I would also compare the same vibe as Rik emmet and bill levine from Triumph
Supersupercool Jerry Reed and his guitar!🎶🎶 The guitar man!
Elvis adored him, too❤️
Nobody plays and performs like Jerry Reed, his upbeat songs are still marveled today when one discovers them. Who doesn't love "when your hot your hot"?

The mark of a great musician is when they can reign in their own brilliance to complement the singer and the song.
Jerry Reed is such a guy.
Marty looks laid back like he would just go with the flow groovy lol
@Hello Bryan how are you doing
so totally different , though they don't even try to harmonize
2 of my favorites. left me too soon. left me to get old without them. at least they left some good music and memories.
Why can’t tv be like this anymore? I could watch this kind of programming all day.
How the HELL have I not found this before....literally my 2 favorite country artists of all time!
WooooWeeee That was some mighty fine a pickin’ and a singin’ 🎼🎶🎸🤘🏻❤️🇺🇸
When country music had individual personalities and talent, unlike the homogenized, interchangeable skim milk singers today.
Marty Robbins lived lifetimes in all he accomplished. He was a singer, a writer, an actor , a race car driver, a comedian, a STAR in life and on The Grand Ol Opry. He died much too young.
I remember the night he passed away. I was in 6th grade listening to the clock radio falling asleep... When they announced Marty Robbins died. I cried in my pillow

True words
Yes he did so did Jerry Reed
And his home town Glendale Arizona won’t name a street after him.
We must keep this music alive
two of the greatest together. this is awesome!
That’s more talent in two performers than you’ll see in any venue in 2022. Spectacular. Marty Robbins was one of a kind. Then again, so was Jerry Reed. Both real gentlemen and self-effacing. I’d sure love to hear Jerry pick and Marty sing again. Or Vice versa. Jerry Reed was right with Glen Campbell as a picker and has his share of a songbook with hits. Marty certainly could pick and play keyboards with incomparable vocals. It gets no better.
What a singer Marty WAS, loved his music
Classic country. What could be better?
Jerry Reed plays the simplest chords in the world and turn them into gold. No one comps like him, let alone his guitar wizardry, he is the true impersonation of the old Nashville saying : "All you need is three chords and the truth"!
God bless CZcams for allowing us to see these awesome entertainers...
One of my favourite underated musicians
This video is a treasure.
I sure miss Marty!
Me too Diane ,how are you doing?
Jerry was a delight in every TV show and movie he appeared in. Not one stinker
Miss both of them.
This video makes life worth livin
If I could sing like that I would make fire wood out of this. The ultimate compliment.
How do you not love country.This is the peak of music
Two legends! Love coming across these!
Jerry seems to be a character who loves his music .Excellent entertainer xx RIP JERRY ❤❤❤❤ ELIZABETH XXXX SCOTLAND XXXX ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Two giants of good ole Country music! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The voice and the guitar.....wow!
Listening to Marty so many years with love 💗
Two of the very very very best
I saw Marty Robbins many years ago in Brisbane. He was absolutely delightful...!! One of the best live shows I have ever seen..
Who else is just in constant shock and awe of jerrys playing?
Chet Atkins is his father in law.
👋🏻
I can't get over his facial expressions.
He was one of the best ever
you can hear it talk you can hear it sang
This is one of the best country music performances ever.
think of the little boys we have as "country stars" now........
Jerry Reed is the most underrated performer ever in country music.
could do it all. His guitar playing is world class
fernmann7 so true - such great phrasing
n
He was a delightful performer...and he enjoyed it.!
I agree, Jerry Reed was a virtuoso a musician's musician
I'm loving those two outfits side-by-side! It looks like someone grabbed Jerry out of the supermarket and told him he's on in five.
I'm mainly a metalhead but I could listen to Mr Robbins sing for weeks
Marty had the best voice in the business
made me smile I guess I like old school country!
Always loved how Jerry world act like he didn’t know how to do anything and then would blow you away with his guitar playing.
Rose Blake it did make it that much better. Roy Clark was killer on guitar too and acted like an idiot then would melt your face lol. They don’t make em like that anymore, that’s for sure. Love these guys.
Roy clark was like the farm truck from the drag racing show.
I knew Jerry Reed as an actor for years before I discovered what an astounding musician he was.
He was one of the best guitar/bandjo players there ever was
His style was so cool and groovy.
I think Marty was just as in awe of Jerry as Jerry was of Marty - two Giants of Music. Thanks for posting
Jerry was my mentor. Best ever
@Hello Bari how are you doing
A couple million of these views are mine. Whenever I am lonely or have had a few I come here. 31 years old. There are no heroes like this anymore
Cheers! I'll have one with ya today 🍻 thanks for sharing, and enjoying :)
Man i feel entertained in just a second when he starts to sing.
That's what music is all about.
Yea me too Charly ,well Jerry was having a good time..
Stunning guitar player. Sadly missed but never forgotten.
We don’t have cool like this anymore
I am age 58 and JUST started getting into classic country...my, what I've missed.
You have a LOT of enjoyment ahead of you, girl!
Well you do miss a lot Cecilia ,have you listen to Don William?
Jerry Reed is the First person who comes to mind as the personified definition of "you had me from hello". Immediately, he makes you smile. This guy was literally Born Ready. Great performer, great backup. Great guitar player.
How could anyone dislike this? Great!!!!
BOTH are a credit to their craft! They make it look so easy! I loved the music back then it was JUST BETTER! Thanks, I enjoyed this allot!
Great couple of men. Wonderful voices n A lot songs.
Well they are the best Donna..

Good stuff.
Sorry about the freaked out how are you doing now Julie?
I love Jerry ! He was the best guitar player ... He didn't even try hard he did it for fun...a free living spirit of a man!
Thank you! 2 of my favorites!
Hello how are you doing ..?
More talent on that stage than what all of Nashville has to offer today.
entered the jerry reed wormhole a couple days ago. don’t think i’ll be leavin any time soon!
Two of my favorites of all time since I was a little kid. Awesome
Great vocal Marty thanks.
I was always a favorite I love Jerry Reed's songs and I definitely loved him and Smokey and the bandit and that was one of my favorites him and Burt Reynolds and may God be with everyone and God bless you all
This is pure GOLD!!! Jerry Reed was a super talented musician!
Jerry's 'noodling' over the Marty tune is tastier than 95% of guitar players on their best day.
I love this good old country music
Yea me too Bobbie,have you listen to Don William?
Great musicians and Marty was the best!
Hello how are you doing?
Jerry’s glance over toward the band as the violin starts playing at 5:21, is really cool. 🎻
These two make a great combo!
This is what country needs today. Good, guitar driven storytelling country.
@red flame are you on drugs?
Tyler Childers
*steel guitar driven
Chris Stapleton? Granted his Guitar playing isn't on Jerry's level, Brad and Keith are about all that even come close, or his voice but he ain't no slouch.
@@EB-cv7td yeah right hahaha. Country Squire was trash. He sold out
The awesome stuff, still awesome.
Jerry Reed and Marty Robbins I miss ya Both !!
If it isn't Jerry Reed , it isn't Jerry Reed - Love this stuff !
Marty Robbins what an entertainer and singer, my mom loved him. Everytime she picked up her guitar she would sing Dont worry about me,
Both these guys were comedians, great singers and great musicians.
My granny used to tell us Mr. Marty Robbins was my real paw paw. Miss yall granny and paw paw
Marty Robbins was my favorite country music artist in the 60's.
Oh really well I do listen to Don William susan
Even though I'm from Russia, i very love this musicians. I’m only 17, but I feel all the emotions with which these songs were written
I love Jerry Reed. I see how he was loved. The Rebel was never defeated in him. What a champion of the South. An honor to watch.
marty was one of (if not the) most talented singers of all time !
Nobody can out sing Marty Robbins, period!
ABSOLUTELY brilliant MARTY. RIP ALWAYS ELIZABETH SCOTLAND XXXX ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤JUST LISTEN TO MARTY'S VOICE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND ADORABLE GENTLEMAN. XX

@@laslydia6228 I’m doing well my friend, love these old clips
@@twlvhrs Oh okay nice to hear back from you I hope we can get to know each other and can you suggest a way we can talk off here if you dont mind
Two country greats gone forever... Thank God for recordings!!
To be gone, yet remain on the lips and in the hearts, is to be Eternal !
You made me think about it.....its like an orchestra though. A recording will never give that live performance feel. Although preserved, we have still lost something golden.
And Thomas Edison
Who in the heck would thumb down this !!!
Can watch this clip over and over again and again
Jerry, you made us feel good, even in the face of pain, we thank you sir !
