Jerry Reed was known for his fingerpicking of guitars, in addition to his singing. For a real treat, watch Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins dueling guitars.

Buck Owens was Roy's 'Hee Haw' co-host, and Pickin' and Grinnin' was a regular segment on the show, normally just with Buck and Roy doing the playing. Jerry Reed was a tremendous guitar player who had a singing career of his own. Buckwas a great guitarist, but his career had already peaked when 'Hee Haw' premiered, and he rarely showed off his real playing skills on the show.

Jerry Reed was an amazing talent. Woefully underrated guitarist. I'd recommend "She Got the Goldmine, I Got the Shaft," and "Amos Moses." Buck Owens was a country artist and co-host of Hee-Haw. He has some great tunes, including "Love's Gonna Live Here." Also, it looks like you haven't checked out Glen Campbell yet. Amazing guitarist. There are a couple of performances out there of Roy Clark and Glen Campbell playing one guitar at the same time. Lots of fun.

There's a video of Glen playing the William Tell Overture on a 12-string guitar that is amazing.

Love Jerry Reed singing She got the goldmine. I got the shaft and East Bound and Down

Jerry Reed is amazing guitarist: Jerry's Breakdown (with Chet Atkins) and Jerry solo: Amos Moses, When You're Hot, You're Hot, US Male, and others.

Jerry Reed started as a studio musician doing backup for assorted artists including Elvis and then got going doing what you might call every man songs. I found his variety really cool when I was growing up with songs like Amos Moses, East Bound and Down(from Smokey and The Bandit) to my dads favorite Caffeine, Nicotine, Benzedrine(Wish Me Luck.) He could play a wide variety of instruments and had great story songs.

Pickin and Grinnin was a regular feature on Hee Haw. It always included Buck and Roy (they were the hosts) and often included guest stars, Jerry Reed in this case.

Buck Owens was one of the pioneers of the Bakersfield Sound, which pretty much revolutionized country music. A large portion of modern country is influenced pretty directly by Buck Owens. Jerry Reed was a guitarist, singer, actor, just about everything. His picking style is completely unique and amazing. When Elvis did a cover of Guitar Man, They had to get Jerry to come and play, because none of of the professionals working with Elvis were able to copy it.

As many have already mentioned Jerry Reed the musician, but I'm more familiar with him as an Actor. You may have seen him as the coach of the rival team in Adam Sandler's The Water Boy. In the '70's he was a fixture in most Burt Reynolds' movies. His comedic timing was as flawless as his guitar pickin'.

This is from the show "Hee Haw" which was the bane of my existence as a kid. Grandparents just loved this show and I could not do anything but cringe when it was on, it was so corny. However, I do have great appreciation for the music artists who were on and Roy Clark and Buck Owen's talented playing. I didn't mind the music at all, just the schtick.

I love Buck Owens. He and his band The Buckaroos were known for their "Bakersfield sound", a twangy, electrified version country originating in Bakersfield, CA. 50's guitar rock mixed with 60's honky tonk. Buck was a great guitar player himself; but Don Rich, the leader and lead guitarist of his band, was amazing. Songs: Act Naturally, Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass?, Loves Gonna Live Here, I've Got a Tiger By The Tail, Streets of Bakersfield, Together Again, Waitin In Your Welfare Line

Act Naturally was a collaboration with Buck and Ringo Star 👍

Jerry Reed was one of the best guitar players ever he's known my generation being in movies especially with Burt Reynolds and being a jokester. But he played with Chet Atkins and he was really an outstanding player

Jerry Reed, an accomplished musician and singer, and Buck Owens, also a fantastic musician and singer were regulars on Hee-Haw as well as Roy Clark. This show had a lot of silly comedy as well as really, really good music.

Jerry Reed was a multi talented person. Not only could he play guitar, but he also wrote songs for other singers.Jerry was also a great actor and starred in several well-known films from the 70s and 80s. Jerry teamed up with Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields in Smokey and the Bandit in 1976 that was absolutely a great film. Jerry was one of the greatest artists/actors that I can remember from my childhood. They're all gone now but definitely not forgotten.

Jerry reed was known as the guitarman. After the title of one of his songs I believe. Also check out Amos Moses, when your hot your hot, she got the goldmine….all by jerry. Buck owens started what is known as the Bakersfield sound in country music. Was a good musician in his own right. Had many hits, one was even covered by the Beatles. Act Naturally was sang by Ringo Star on the HELP album owens was one of the mainstays of the show Hee haw for many years.

Jerry was, also, known as the Mississippi Wildman.

Roy Clark is a talented musician and performer! The bluegrass Roy plays on the TV show "Hee Haw" is used mostly to as a setup for backwoods hillbilly jokes in-between the show's country music guests that promote their songs. But bluegrass music is also a serious genre that has musicians that are as skilled as musicians in any other genre that you can think of. For example, the fiddle player in the: Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper "Lee Highway Blues" is super Impressive! 1.5 Million views!

This is from a weekly variety show that came on when I was a kid called Hee Haw. We all sat around the TV each week to catch it. It was good clean family entertainment at it's best. Roy Clark and Buck Owens hosted a cas t of characters from Minnie Pearl and Grandpa to Jr. Samples. THis brings back so many memories.

Jerry reed was such a good artist and especially a guitar picker. When your hot your hot and east bound and down and my personal favorite she got the goldmine are some that i think you’d like especially for an introduction

Jerry Reed was another guitar legend. His know world wide for his music in the movie Smoky and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds.

Buck Owens is famous for the Bakersfield sound. While Jerry Reed was a frequent collaborator of Burt Reynolds.

@@IllumeEltanin jerry reed had 3 number 1 songs. And dozens of songs that charted. Had numerous collaborations with Chet Atkins (considered by many to be one of best guitarist ever) and had a fairly successful movie career sharing several films with Burt Reynolds’s. Very underrated guitar player. Not taking anything away from your comment….just adding to it. Jerry is one of my all time favorites.

Jerry Reed was a damn National Treasure. Man, he was amazing. He's also known for his role of Truck Driver Cledus aka "The Snowman" from Smokey and The Bandit starring Burt Reynolds. And he was brilliant.

Pickin' and Grinnin' was a regular feature of the show Hee-Haw. Roy Clark and Buck Owens were the regular headliners (both tremendous musicians). My dad LOVED this show and we watched it every week. Lots of good-natured silly humor and fantastic music!

Jerry is a phenomenal guitarist and one of the funniest, most entertaining people ever!

Jerry Reed has a great catalog. great guitarist and singer.

One of the greatest shows ever ,, so much talent

Jerry 'The Claw" Reed fingerpicking is the best in the world. Also, Roy Clark, Buck Owens and Chet Akins are great Guitarists. I would put all of them on the same level as Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix.

Jerry Reed was one of the most technically proficient guitarist to ever live. Watch his informal performance with BB King. Jerry was also a great actor, acting in many movies with Burt Reynolds. He played (Snowman) in the massive 70’s hit (Smokey and the Bandit).

Came here to mention his acting chops. Jerry Reid was just an all around talent at the time.

Justice everybody else has stated Jerry Reed is a monster on guitar and absolute monster and yes he is on par with Roy Clark

Buck Owens was one of the pioneers of the "Bakersfield Sound" in country music. That's the country music that came out of Southern California in the 1960s. As many others have said, Jerry Reed was an amazing guitarist. Just outstanding. This program was "HeeHaw," which was produced during the 70s. It was a variety show -- much more common then -- and featured skits, large amounts of cornball humor, pretty girls (the HeeHaw Honeys), and some outstanding country music. Jerry Reed also had a career as an actor. He was Cletus "Snowman" Snow in "Smokey and the Bandit," among other films. Thanks for reviewing this! Enjoyed it. :)

Jerry Reed- She got the gold mine, I got the shaft!

As a black man growing up in VA I remember watching Hee Haw at my grandparents house, and pickn and grinning was my favorite segment, man I miss the wholesome days of TV, plus I miss my grandparents..all of them were alive during that time..eyes getting misty

Hee Haw was a comedy/music variety show that aired for 26yrs from 1969- 1993. Every episode had 2 or 3 well known country artists that performed hit songs and would do the skits. They would do entire season recordings (aprox 25 episode a season) in just a 2 wk period to allow for tour season of the Stars that appeared.

Very much a kin to todays SNL.

Jerry Reed was also a country singer. He was also an actor, he played in all the Smokey and the Bandit movies with Burt Reynolds

“HEE HAW” - loved watching that show! Funny and lots of great & talented artists.

3 of the all time greatest guitarists ever...

Jerry Reed - Both Barrels is one of my all time favourite albums !

Heeee Haaaa!!! I lovec tht show as a little kid 😁

The best pickers are Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. They are in a league of their own. You should react to their Foggy Mountain Breakdown (1949). kzread.info/dash/bejne/rJONlc-nmpCenKQ.html

This is a segment from a show called HEE Haw that was very popular from the 60's all the way through the 80's I still look episodes up on KZread to watch with my Saturday morning breakfast.

The 70’s were the best! No matter what the genre!!💜💜💜

Buck Owens is a fantastic singer and songwriter.

Buck Owens and Roy Clark were the musical duo from the comedy variety show "Hee Haw" , they had special guest stars like Jerry Reed

You must do some buck Owens songs like “together again” and jerry reed like “jerrys breakdown”

Jerry Reed was a singer and actor. He was Burt Reynold's friend, the truck driver in Smokey and the Bandit.

Jerry Reed and Buck Owens were both famous! Jerry for his great picking and singing, both funny and serious songs, Buck Owens was also known to sing funny songs, but mostly he was a serious singer and he could play too! You should check out some of their music. Jerry reed, start with "Amos Moses" the studio version. Buck Owens start with anything by him or better yet watch him and Swight Yoakam doing "Streets of Bakersfield" official video! Great hanging with you again today!

Jerry Reed also play the Snowman in the movie Smokey and the Bandit and wrote the song Eastbound & Down in a matter of a couple hours

Jerry Reed was also a comedic actor best known for his roles in the 'Smokey and the Bandit' movies with Burt Reynolds.

This was one of the regular routines for the “Hee Haw” tv show. On for 20 years… started in black and white. Usually Buck Owens and Roy Clark and sometimes either another cast member or a guest star sang this toon while the rest of the cast gathered around clapping and singing along. Jerry Reed was the guest star in this show. It was a music/comedy show from the central US and was a huge hit.

Thank you for this. Zany fun. 🤣🤣 laughter best medicine. Wish you all well. 😉💞💞💞🇨🇦

Now here we have three big time country singers. Mr. L Boyd if you review any of Buck Owens, Jerry Reed, and more of Roy Clark's classic song I can tell you what some of their biggest hits were. With Buck Owens who is one of my personal favorites two of his biggest songs were called, I've Got A Tiger By The Tail. And, Act Naturally. And Jerry Reed, kind of a small town bad boy hoodlums, his three best songs were, When You're Hot You're Hot. And Framed. And Amos Moses. And one of Roy Clark's biggest hits that you have not reviewed yet is called, Thank God And Greyhound.

Lol, takes me back to the 70s! Peace, Love!

Roy Clark was the highest paid musician in the world a one time. He can play just about any instrument

Mr.LBoyd, being a former Radioman... What an incredible voice you have!

Buck Owens was one of the pioneers of the California sound of country also just as talented in the California sound what is his partner in crime Merle Haggard these two are legends in their own right . And Jerry Reed is a hall of fame legend they all deserve a independent review all with their own unique sounds

Jerry Reed was also big in film. His big films were "Smokey & the Bandit" and "Scooby-Doo"

Jerry Reed was an actor among other talents he had that will be mentioned below. He was in many movies with Burt Reynolds. When Elvis recorded Reed's song Guitar Man in the studio Elvis wanted the Jerry Reed guitar sound. They called Reed off of a fishing trip he was on and Jerry went to help Elvis out.

Jerry Reed, fantastic guitarist. Hee Haw definitely a unique show. My parents always watched it, with my dad and uncles always wishing to get on it one day. My favorite regular sketch was when they'd pop up in a stage corn field and tell jokes... but they filmed it live so they'd keep in all the times they were cracking up unable to complete to joke and such. There are some great videos around of those bits. Another classic is the "Hee Haw Pfft You Was Gone, Where oh Where" song. There is 10th Anniversery Hee Haw Pfft You Was Gone, Where oh Where vidoe on youtube. Or the "Gloom, Despair & Agony..." regular bit.

Jerry Reed also did several movies, he was in the Burt Reynolds classics Smokey & The Bandit I, II, & III

Jerry Reed was a great guitarist. He would have been a guest on this episode of Hee Haw. Buck Owens was co-host of Hee Haw with Roy Clark. Trivial fact: They'd film an entire season of Hee Haw over a 2 week period of the summer. This particular segment--Pickin' and Grinnin' would normally have been Clark and Owens, playing and telling jokes with Reed joining in as a guest. After this, Reed left the set and they most likely filmed several more for other episodes.

Jerry Reed was a great guitarist, songwriter and singer. If you've seen Smokey and the Bandit or Waterboy, then you've seen him in movies. He also had a TV show of County music and there is a video of him picking and singing with B B King.

those old shows were a staple in my house when they aired brand new. all of those guys are very talented musicians. Jerry Reed was an amazing guitarist.

All singers. Buck Owens last sang with Dwight Yoakem "Streets of Bakersville". Jerry Reed was also an actor who played the truck driver in "Smokey and the Bandit" the movie with Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields.

Buck Owens was a huge country music singer, and he had such hit records as Act Naturally, Tiger by the Tail, Together Again, Love's Gonna Live Here, Under Your Spell Again, and Before You Go. Band mate Don Rich played the guitar and sang backup for Buck. On July 17, 1974, they had finished a recording session and Don was going to ride his motorcycle to a family reunion. For some reason, Buck begged him not to ride the bike that day, but Don did it anyway. His bike hit the center divider of the highway causing him to wreck. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. After the death of Rich, Buck Owens seemed to lose some of his zest for performing though after some time he started recording the occasional song with Dwight Yoakam. To see an example of the magical blend of Buck and Don's voices, check out "Before You Go" or "Together Again". For an example of Buck and Dwight singing together look at "Under Your Spell Again" or "Streets of Bakersfield".

Jerry Reed also played The Snowman in the Smokey and the Bandit movies alongside Burt Reynolds.

She got the Goldmine, I got the Shaft - Jerry Reed

This scene was redone with different jokes on a weekly variety show called He-Haw. Growing up in the late 70's , this was a regular part of my childhood. (Dad insisted we watch whether I wanted to or not. :) )

Even in Toronto, this show, 'Hee Haw', was appointment viewing back in the day. Buck Owens was an established country artist and along with Clark, a series regular. Jerry Reed was a top-tier session musician who, through appearances like this, and his sparkling personality, I suppose, ended up with a parallel career in Hollywood, such as a number of Burt Reynolds films. 'Cannonball Run' and 'Convoy' come to mind. If I'm mistaken, shoot me. ;

Jerry Reed is probably my second favorite country artist, my number one being Waylon Jennings. (I would love to see you react to him too!) Jerry also played one of the most beloved good ol' boys, the "Snowman", in the much loved and cherished Smokey and the Bandit movies (possible reaction also? 😃) as well as performing much of the music for them. An accomplished country artist and possibly one of the greatest pickers to ever play a guitar. Yet another wonderful reaction Mr. Boyd, thank you for brightening my day yet again. God Bless and much love from Toppenish, WA State, USA. 😃🇺🇸🌲

This was a regulars set on the Saturday night show The Grand old Opry which was a country music and comedy entertainment show

Buck Owens and Roy Clark were the hosts of Hee Haw. Jerry Reed was the primary guest on this particular show. This was 1960s and early 1970s country themed variety show. For Buck Owens, I suggest Tiger By The Tail and Act Naturally as a beginning. For Roy Clark, in addition to what you've already done, Yesterday When I Was Young and Thank God And Greyhound. For Jerry Reed, East Bound And Down (from Smokey And The Bandit) Amos Moses, Ko Ko Joe and She Got The Goldmine. Enjoy

omg...jerry reed will blow you away

BTW, Buck Owens was a country star in the 60s and 70s and stayed well known into the early 80s from starring in this show.

that's entertainment !!! 👏👏💃❤️❤️

This was a fairly regular skit from the “Hee Haw” tv show…. Roy Clark and Buck Qwens were the front men of this music/comedy tv variety show that was a huge hit for 20 years. One of the longest running shows of all time. Jerry Reed was a country singer, guitar player, and actor that was that week’s guest star. They had big name country stars as guests every week. They did lots of comedy skits that included regular cast and guest stars and usually the guest stars performed a couple of songs as well.

Buck Owens wrote a song that Ringo Starr made a hit, Act Naturally. There is a video of Buck and Ringo doing it as a duet. Jerry Reed wrote and sang East Bound and Down from Smokey and the Bandit, starring Burt Reynolds.

Jerry Reed was a country singer also an actor from Smokey and the Bandit, Buck Owens is also a country singer has well

Buck Owens was the founder of the Bakersfield sound in country music. Checkout sine of his songs: Tiger by the tail, act naturally and loves gonna live here to name just a few.

Jerry Reed was a guitarist a singer and an actor. Check out his instrumental The Claw and his love song A Thing Called Love For acting see Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds There is so much more!

The one with the red, white & blue guitar is Buck Owens. You should check out Tiger by the tail by Buck Owens. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qmZ7tJRxqa3QetI.html

Jerry Reed was a great country singer as well as an actor. I recommend watching smokey and the bandit.

Jerry Reed, singer, actor, comedian. Check out the movie Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds and the theme song from that "East Bound and Down". Buck Owens had a long list of recordings. He with Jonny Cash, George Jones, and Patsy Cline were Mom's favorite Country nd Western singers.

Masterful musicians who have a really really serious funny bone. Jerry Reed eastbound & down, Amos Moses, Buck Owens Buck Owens was an extraordinary guitarist another great guitarist of that era was Glen Campbell you have not lived until you have seen Glen Campbell perform the William Tell over at your. Great reaction.

I'd suggest you consider Jerry Reed's "The Claw" shows off his guitar skills, or "Sugar Foot Rag". As others has said, Jerry Reed was a guitarist, singer, and actor. He also had several duets with Chet Atkins that are worth checking out. Buck Owens was co-host on Hee Haw with Roy Clark. I've heard that Buck was considered the bigger star when the show started. For him, I'd suggest "Act Naturally" or "Streets of Bakersfield" with Dwight Yoakim.

To get a feel for Jerry Reed, check out his songs “the Claw”, and “She Got The Gold Mine, I Got The Shaft”. Buck Owens is a Hall of Fame Country star who was one of the innovators of what is now called “The Bakersfield Sound” in country music.

Reed is the truck driver from the movie the Bandit, with Burt Reynolds, he played in Cannonball run as the truck driver also and the bandits buddy.

Roy Clark is possibly the best all around guitar player ever.

I grew up watching Hee-Haw. This takes me back to my childhood.

One of my favorite Em's club bangers

Buck Owens started the Bakersfield sound. Him and jerry both talented and popular.

Ken Burns documentary on country music is well worth the time it takes to watch.

Jerry Reed great singer loved his song “She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft),” and was also the Snowman, in the greatest car chase movie of all times Smokey and the Bandit . . and Buck Owens was a co host with Roy and was every bit an equal to him and had another funny comedian Minnie Pearl, I think she was active comedian for 50 years..

You really should do a deep dive into Jerry Reed. His style of playing so confounded Colonel Parker {Elvis} that Jerry was able to get a sweet deal to play on an Elvis cover of a Jerry Reed Song

This is humor! ❤️

Lol I'm 54 and I watched it every Saturday evening as a kid

jerry Reed is a great guitar player too

Jerry Reed was a guitarist equal to Roy Clark, in my opinion. He played by request on Elvis Presley’s song, “Guitar Man”, as well as being an artist in his own right. He also starred in the movie “Smokey and the Bandit” and recorded the theme song, “Eastbound and Down”. Buck Owens (with his band, the Buckaroos) was a star recording artist in the 1960’s, with hits like “Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy” and “Cryin’ Time”.

Jerry Reed was the Snowman in Smokey and the Bandit

Clean fun

Hee Haw was a Saturday night staple in our house when I was a kid.

Jerry Reed musician songwriter/ actor in Smoky and the Bandit movie wrote Eastbound & Down and other such as Amos Moses, you should check him out county 1970's country music but he has passed away

Jerry is the king of creating a style of picking to this day guitarist are trying to figure out. Chet Atkins was his idol and guitar partners. Jerry eventually had to teach Chet his way… Jerry’s favorite artist was Ray Charles…. He played guitar like piano player. Oh, he brought Elvis back in 68’ and played on the record no one else could haha!
