Today would have been Jerry Clower's Birthday! He was a hilarious stand-up comedian who, focusing on stories of the rural South, was known as the "The Mouth of Mississippi". He was a good friend of Ray's and even appeared in his 1995 feature film "Get Serious", playing the character of the Colonel. Here's two of the scenes in which Jerry appeared. #HappyHeavenlyBirthday Jerry!!! #raystevens #jerryclower #getserious #moviescene #movieclip #happybirthday #happybday #itsyourbirthday | Ray Stevens

A tribute to the late great Jerry Clower #comedy #JerryClower #Mississippi #storytelling | Jerry Wayne Longmire

By the late ’80s, Jerry Clower was a bona fide Southern celebrity—part comic, part folk hero. With his booming voice and tales of Marcel Ledbetter and the Mississippi woods, Clower packed out venues, sold millions of records, and was a fixture on the Grand Ole Opry. He was more than a joke slinger - he was preserving a way of life. For more good times check out @buscadero_motorcycles #southernculture #American | Truck Stop Chic
