ROCKIN U S MALE/INCLUS CD ET CARTE POSTALE/LIVRET 8 PAGES

Description

Jerry Reed had multiple talents and was very original. He is still remembered for his charming role as Cledus Snow in the 'Smokey and the Bandit' films with his friend Burt Reynolds. However, others continue to cherish Reed as the exceptional songwriter and innovative guitarist that he was as well. If you don't know Jerry Reed, you have certainly heard his songs: Guitar Man and U.S. Male by Elvis Presley, Crazy Legs by Gene Vincent and his Blue Caps, Lord Mr. Ford by Matchbox, That's All You Got to Do by Brenda Lee, When I Found You by Big Sandy and his Fly-Right-Boys, and - last but not least - his remarkable East Bound and Down from the first 'Smokey and the Bandit' movie.
Jerry Reed Hubbard was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 20, 1937. He began his exceptional career in show business with the help of legendary producer Bill Lowery, who secured him a three-year contract with Capitol in 1955.
On 'The Rockin' U.S. Male', several of Reed's favorite tracks are gathered for the first time. The compilation, which spans several years, features Reed's favorites, such as U.S. Male, When I Found You, and You Make It, They Take It, as well as rarer titles like Twist-a-Roo and the anachronistic exotic classic Rockin' in Bagdad.
For the first time - and for the first time on vinyl - Reed's rockin' ravers from Capitol, NRC, Columbia, and RCA are presented on a combined platter. It's hot - and it's going to go fast!
As a special gift, Bear Family Records® offers an additional CD with all the vinyl tracks, augmented by thirteen additional Reed speeders - including Jerry Reed's collaboration with Ric Cartey and his exceptional picking for The Rockateers.
