Jerry Reed was one of those people who just had to be. As the old saying goes, if he hadn't been there you'd have had to invent him. Country Music needed Jerry as much as he needed to pick and tell endlessly bad jokes and tales.

Karen and I were just talking about him Sunday..............There was a certain style, sound, and even type of song, that was a Jerry Reed song or style or sound.................
