Jerry Reed Gives Us The Bird

So the other day I discovered that my wife Jane, the country music fan in the family, had nevertheless never heard Jerry Reed’s song “The Bird”; and it occurred to me that you might not have either. While sitting in a bar, a fellow meets a guy with a bird that sings like Willie Nelson…and it goes on from there. Here it is, with Reed’s trademark guitar fireworks and goofy lyrics. Even if you’re not a country fan, you ought to give it a listen.
