The original version by Jerry Reed (studio version):
or
Elvis Presley’s cover (studio version):
Now, which one do YOU feel is better? Why?
Chubs: Don’t worry–I already knew that Reed played guitar in Elvis’ cover. I believe Elvis’ guitarist (not sure if it was James Burton at the time or not) couldn’t figure out the guitar parts, so they got Jerry Reed.
