East Bound and Down, Jerry Reed's 1977 album for RCA Victor, came along with a big-screen ride attached. The title track was the theme song for Smokey and the Bandit, in which Reed also co-starred, and it is a foot-to-the-floor showcase for his hot-wired picking and good-ol'-boy growl.
Chet Atkins produced it. Reed, a singer, guitarist and songwriter who turned up in more than a dozen films, counted the song among his signatures alongside "Amos Moses" and "When You're Hot, You're Hot", and the Country Music Hall of Fame inducted him in 2017.
