Once having been ask "who was his most favorite?" Sam Phillips , Sun Records stated hands down "Charlie Rich" ! often noted by Charlie that Jerry was one of his Favorite guitar players of all times. Though playing slide peddle steel thru the stage shows, after He an Jerry would traverse down to the local bars and lay in the blues together.. Jerry on guitar and charlie on the piano.. mega awsome !!!
Jerry Hails from Northwest of Missouri yet is no stranger to the Nashville scene having called it his "other home" since back in the mid 70's.. later moving over to the Austin scene and making himself known with many there.
Owner of Flying Coyote Records and a BMI registered artist/writer/producer Jerry has marched this "Unique" label into a well known label as well as self made artist to many in the Indie arena of music. Jerry's "signature sound" Now in its 30th year this label and artist comes home to any listener with "smooth & melodic" tones that has notably pleased.. Show class material and showmanship is always present with this artist as he won't settle for half a show anytime...Ask any musician that has worked with man,the most noted thing said when ask is Jerry won't hesitate to "lay into you" when your playing is off!" yet won't bat an eye in saying so when he feels his own is not at peek. Jerry notes any artist is as only as good as his next gig, in thinking less your talent and ability will suffer tremendous. Any fan/patron/venue paid for a performance and its his responsibility to see they get what they paid for! thru the years its proven his success many times as this Man and his fellow musicians along with him have settled into long stints and repeat performances thru out the region.
If your fan of music, be it Blues to rock n roll or country blues even crossed with americana then Jerry is a "must hear & see" artist.
If your a venue your never wrong is trusting this artist can hold a crowd and build a "faithful" following among your patrons..
A rally or festival be there no mistake this act can and will bring a showmanship act to the event that brings "swaying & Toe tapping" and keep the crowd smiling and welcoming...

Of all his albums Jerry had, one that he performed some Harry Fox cover tunes, never again said Jerry! this isn't me, it has to be me or I am a nobody.. If I am ever famous for anything I want it to be me and what I done, not someone else.
When asked "why after all these years your not a famous star?" He smiled and replied " I never sold out like a lot to the corporate store" Your only in the limelight as long as someone is pushing you along with Big money... without it your on a long road to build your own success as many of the truly greats have done. In thinking this out I rationalized that its true that the many "Greats" I could think of are best known by there name first, not some label... Fans think most of many things such as sound and soul in blues.. and its the 'heart' of what will truly make you the best of the best and a known name in the hearts of those..

Jerry has five albums to his credit and more in the works present time. I have and love listening to any blues artist, yet in my heart I hold "Fat dog blues" & Ice & steel" as classics of blues anyone can appreciate and should own!
Texas/oklahoma style blues that "simmer" the mind and engulf the heart..If your ok with an album of some covers reincarnated with true vocals and supurb quality with honors to those original artist who first performed them along with some of his own originals then Poor boy blues reaches into star class as well.
Jerry's most recent album "Hard to catch" is a "unique" album as well as a testimonial as to how this artist can and does achieve genre crossovers with flawless efforts.. touch of blues,americana,pop and country in the soul blues to ballads.. This early 2007 release is still "coming home" with rave reviews from fans to venues.. and to think there is more in the coming?

Jerry, when is the next album coming? he looked out the window and replies when its "time" just in thinking myself I would be in a hurry to get it out.. I realized his meaning and his character holds him to his moto.. It has to be right without exceptions. anyless is a "demoralizing" reflection to himself" he let down his followers.
I have learned over time of this artist that thru his years his abilities are never "stiffled" with a desire to be a "show off" as much as just himself and make true to his heart what he always strives to bring to the hearts of others.
Jerry has cut heads with such greats as Magic slim to Bugsy Mauh ( bass player,Paul Butterfield band
