There's a video on YouTube of Jerry Reed unleashing the first verse of this song during an early appearance on "The Porter Wagoner Show" in 1969.

Here's the studio version of this Ray Charles standard, recorded on January 8th, 1968, at RCA Victor Studio in Nashville.

Produced by Chet Atkins, this song appeared on Jerry's second album "Nashville Underground," distributed in March 1968 and achieving Top 40 C&W status at No. 31.

The song was also the B-side of "A Thing Called Love" released in September 1969. Neither side charted. Luckily, "Amos Moses" hit the following year, setting Reed on the road to stardom.

Real Gone Music finally released "Nashville Underground" with "The Unbelievable Voice and Guitar of Jerry Reed" on CD in May 2012.

[An Unrivaled Jerry Reed Songwriting List]

Above I've corralled 323 Reed compositions in chronological order along with A / B-side status and accompanying album [I've done the same for Rick Nelson and Glen Campbell, but they were nowhere near as prolific as the Alabama Wild Man]. Most of the songs contain YouTube links. For the first time, all of Reed's self-written tunes from his 1955 debut on Capitol until 2008's "The Gallant Few" are in one place.

To read about the time Elvis Presley personally requested Reed to play lead guitar at his "Guitar Man" sessions in September 1967, click on my story link below. Reed's eldest daughter Seidina also has some insightful anecdotes about what her dad was doing that fateful afternoon. Did you know Reed supplied guitar on Ringo Starr's second official studio album ["Beaucoups of Blues"] as well as an uncredited solo on Elvis's Stax cover of "Talk About the Good Times?" Other tantalizing, in-depth Reed conversations with Thompson Station Congregation drummer Ric McClure, Exile keyboardist Marlon Hargis, and 1988-1989 bassist John Harris are available, too.
