These include Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris, The Wreckers, Legendary Shack Shakers, KD Lang, WPA (Works Progress Administration) and Gretchen Wilson. As the grandson of singer, songwriter and actor Jerry Reed as well as son of Nashville bassist Dave Roe, it's no surprise to learn that Jerry began playing drums at 1 1/2 years old.
