"This is a superb tribute album to My Favorite Guitar Player of all time, Jerry Reed. Darrell captured every essence of Reed’s style…Congrats on a job well done!"
"Jerry Reed is a fascinating guitarist that changed the guitar world forever! I was one of the privileged few that had the opportunity to work closely with him throughout his amazing career on records, TV, stage and screen. Jerry challenged me to step up to the plate and play at his level, which helped me hone my skills to become a better musician. This project was a blast! My buddy Darrell clawed the strings off that guitar! We had so much fun in the studio recreating that “Reed energy”! So if you’re a Jerry Reed fan, believe me this CD is for you!"
"Like Django, Chet and a few others, Jerry Reed created a unique style of guitar playing, one which will be carried on by admirers for generations to come. Darrell Toney captures the spirit of Jerry’s music…perfectly!"
"Without a doubt, Jerry Reed has influenced the entire global music community with his style and technique. It will forever be something that we use as a benchmark when referencing all types of guitar styles. It was my pleasure to take part in this work. Darrell and Rodney have done a wonderful job on it!"
"Attention Jerry Reed fans:
This CD is a labor of love from my friend, Darrell Toney that puts the spotlight on one of the greatest guitar composers and innovators of modern times. Not too many people could have pulled this off with this high level of artistry and excellence, but Darrell certainly did, and a tribute to the guitar genius of Jerry Reed demands nothing less. Darrell, you did your homework, and brother does it show!"
"I worked for Jerry Reed in 1978 and "believe me" the world will probably never see another musical genius like this, a unique stylist to say the least. To play the guitar like Jerry is no easy task but Darrell has done a great job of it and I am proud to be part of this CD."
"When people speak about Jerry Reed and his discography, so often they only mention the hits like "Amos Moses", “When You're Hot You're Hot" or “Eastbound & Down". I didn't know just how brilliant and ahead of his time Reed really was until I began working with Darrell producing this project. This CD is truly an eclectic joy ride that will immerse you in the widely imitated style of a true guitar master, Jerry Reed. Darrell has done an outstanding job capturing that legendary “Reed sound”. He is truly a student of Reedology! DT, producing this project with you has been an incredible ride!"
"It was a career moment for me, and a real honor to be part of this recording. As a true Jerry Reed fan, I am amazed at the authenticity Darrell Toney was able to bring to this recording. Great job my friend!"
