Still tear up missing Jerry and Burt 😢.... Nice remake but nothing will ever be as good as the original. Ive met Jerry and Burt both, nobody will ever show off like they did.❤.

Long live Jerry Reeds music!! Nice job!!

Smoky and The Bandit was one of my favorites back then. Kids today missed the best of Hollywood. Today, I don't even turn on a TV, Hollywood is dead..

You can't beat classic music whether it's country,pop,rock or hip hop. Thanks Jake for this honorable cover.

Cool! Bandit!

Yeehaw!! Jerry and Burt are smiling down!!😁🤘

How can you not drive a little faster when listening to that song! Great cover!

Good music will never die when there are such great artists carrying the torch forward.

There's a lot of people who still know what country is in Nashville. They unfortunately have to play crap it get a gig. It's heartbreaking.

Repping the Larry Fleet hat!! One of the best guys to listen to in concert

I love quoting "We got a long way to go and a short time to get there" ever since I was a kid. Jake did an amazing job here!

That is one beautiful car. Brings back so many memories of watching Smokey and the Bandit. My parents had a Trans Am that was black with gold just like the one in the movie. The car was in a shop when it caught fire, so we lost the car.
