Barefoot Jerry is a renowned Southern Rock band with a distinctive blend of country, rock, jazz, and blues that emerged from the vibrant Nashville music scene in the early 1970s. The ever-evolving collective has been known for its skilled musicianship and a roster of first-rate session players. The founder and constant member, Wayne Moss, steered the group through various lineup changes, bringing together the best in the business, including notable figures such as Charlie McCoy, Kenny Buttrey, and Mac Gayden.

The band's name itself, inspired by a character from the "Smoky and the Bandit" movies, is emblematic of their laid-back yet proficient approach to country-inflected rock music. Throughout the 70s, Barefoot Jerry released a succession of albums like "Southern Delight," "Barefoot Jerry," and "Watchin' TV (With the Radio On)," which fused instrumental prowess with humorous and reflective songwriting. Classics such as "You Can't Get Off with Your Shoes On" and "Keys to the Country" are testimony to their musical flexibility and regional influence. Their music continues to be celebrated for its innovative spirit and deep roots in American music traditions.
