Me & Jerry is the first duet studio album by Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed, released by RCA Records in 1970. Consisting of pop, country and standards, this collaboration won the 1971 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance.

It was followed by Me & Chet in 1972.

Reception

| rev1 =Allmusic | rev1Score =
In his review for Allmusic, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote of the album; "virtuosity is always more appealing when it doesn't call attention to itself, a trap Atkins and Reed always avoid here. The two simply lay back and play, trading lines and licks with an easy grace, having so much fun that it's impossible to not share in their joy."

Reissues

• In 1998, Me & Jerry and Me & Chet were reissued on CD by One Way Records.
