Jerry Reed Album: “Super Hits”

Jerry Reed, known to many as the hillbilly in the semi in "Smokey and the Bandit", had a pile of forgotten hits, which are masterfully laid out on this album. "East Bound..." is great, and "She Got the Goldmine" is a classic, but check out "Amos Moses", about an amputee beating up alligators, or "The Bird" (somebody get me a BB gun!). Laugh your butt off, and just for giggles, notice how many songs contain the phrase "contempt of court"..... "Super Hits" series are generally awfully good compilations, and I also recommend those by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Geroge Jones. Moo.

I was working as a janitor at a high school in 76'. a concert was being held there that headlined loretta lynn , conway twitty and jerry reed , the other two performers came into the gymnasium by the back door , but jerry oh no ..the side door of the school. as jerry came in he walked over put his arm on my shoulder and asked ..do you hink it's gonna rain..SON.was pouring rain. so i replied no sir this is the devils way of getting even with us for wanting to have fun. i had only gotten out of the army a few weeks before that , jerry made feel at ease , i've been a fan from that day..i will miss the snowman , jerry treated everyone the same ..my favorite song has always been amos moses..thank you all for reading my review.

This is a very good album. It features one of my favorite songs East Bound and Down.

Count me among those mentioned in an earlier post that are just discovering Jerry Reed. Not that I have't seen him before, mind you. I knew him from the Smokey and the Bandit movies, and purchased this cd because of the song, "East Bound and Down." Let me say, "Wow". This guy's work is amazing, and I DEFINITELY will be buying more of his stuff in the future. The song's are comedic, full of beat and talent, and downright hard to beat. The man can fly on a guitar, and his vocals put you in the mood of the song. Get this one as soon as you can. You won't be sorry.

Great CD, Funny and catchy, I like Lord, Mr. Ford and she got the goldmine, but my personal favorite is Eastbound and Down(Smokey and The Bandit).

Good Singer.
