No one picked a guitar or spun a country yarn quite like the 'Snowman' himself. Ko-Ko Joe finds Jerry Reed at the peak of his swamp-rock-meets-Nashville powers. His incredibly complex, syncopated 'claw' picking style is all over this record, driving funky, laid-back tracks with an effortless, grinning swagger. Reed had a unique ability to blend serious musical virtuosity with a relaxed, humorous delivery. Spinning this original RCA Victor pressing, with its warm, rounded bass and crisp acoustic transients, is a pure delight for any fan of Southern guitar music.
