Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1977, Country, Country Pop, Atlanta
Matrix #: APL1-2516
Condition: EX, sounds great, looks good, some light marks (CC)
Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle Reed spent years stuck between being taken seriously as a guitarist and being sold as a funny good-ol'-boy character.
-
Media Narrative The title track got welded to Smokey and the Bandit and became bigger than the album, turning Reed into a national pop-culture figure.
-
Scene Ecology This record sits right in the late-70s CB-radio and trucker boom, when Nashville and Hollywood were feeding off the same Southern outlaw image.
