It did take a very long time for Jerry Reed to receive the Hall of Fame honor.
This is an early bad *ss promo by Jerry from 1965, written by Jerry and produced by "Mr. Guitar" (Chet Atkins).
In '65, Jerry had not yet released his first album and was busy working as a studio musician on other artists' records (to name a few: Bobby Bare, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Elvis Presley).
He cut this promo with A- and B-sides before his solo career took off in early 1967.
Credits posted on the George Jones Albums & More YouTube channel where you'll find this audio:
Recorded 11/8/1965, produced by Bob Ferguson.
Vocals, guitar: Jerry R. Hubbard (Jerry's real name. He later used "Jerry Reed" professionally.)
