Barefoot Jerry from Wikipedia :

Barefoot Jerry is an American Southern rock and country rock band, based in Nashville, Tennessee, most active from 1971 to 1977.
It was composed of area studio musicians under the tutelage of Wayne Moss, lead guitarist of Area Code 615, and other 615 alumni.
This name is also used to refer to Moss and his sidemen in current reunions and other projects.
Moss founded Cinderella Recording Studios and has operated it since 1960.

Moss had previously played in many sessions, including Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde and played the guitar riff on Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman".
In addition to Moss, band members included: Terry Dearmore, Kenny Buttrey, Jim Colvard, Dave Doran, Si Edwards, Mac Gayden, John Harris,
Warren Hartman, Russ Hicks, Kenny Malone, Charlie McCoy, and Fred Newell.

Barefoot Jerry's first line up consisted of:

* Wayne Moss guitar/keyboards/vocals,
* Mac Gayden - guitar/keyboards/vocals,
* Kenneth A. Buttrey - drums,
* John Harris - keyboards.

Moss, Buttrey and Gayden (who wrote the number one UK hit single by the Love Affair, "Everlasting Love") had all been in Area Code 615.
They originally played together on many of Mike Nesmith's Nashville sessions. They enjoyed the experience and decided to form Area Code 615.

This line up of Barefoot Jerry recorded Southern Delight, before Gayden left in 1972 to form his own band, Skyboat; Buttrey joined Neil Young's band.
Wayne Moss and John Harris were soon joined by Russ Hicks - guitar/steel guitar/horn/vocals and Kenny Malone, the drummer on Barefoot Jerry album
released on Warner Bros. Records in 1972. This line up later expanded to include: Buddy Skipper - keyboards, Fred Newell - banjo/harmonica/vocals,
Dave Doran - guitar/bass/vocals, Si Edwards - percussion, and (Area Code's) Bobby Thompson - bass/guitar/vocals for Barefoot Jerry and the 1974
follow-up Watchin' TV.

The line up of Moss, Hicks, Doran, Edwards, Skipper and Newell from this period were captured live on the 2007 Barefoot Jerry Live release.
Wayne Moss became the last original member of the band. Retaining Hicks and Edwards, they added Terry Dearmore - vocals, guitar/bass,
Jim Colvard - guitar/bass and Warren Hartman - keyboards. In 1975 they recorded You Can't Get Off With Your Shoes On. Colvard took his own life in 1976.

With the departure of Hartman, guitarist Barry Chance and Steve Davis - keyboards/guitar/vocals, joined the band for Keys to the Country in 1976.
Davis and Dearmore departed, and Charlie McCoy - keyboards/harmonica/flutes/Jew's harp and Mike McBride - bass/guitar/percussion/mandolin,
joined for 1977's, Barefootin'. In 1977, the band split up.

Wayne Moss appears as "Barefoot Jerry" along with Charlie Daniels, Guy Clark and David Allen Coe in the 1981 music documentary, Heartworn Highways.

Barefoot Jerry were mentioned in Charlie Daniel's (CDB) tune "The South is Gonna Do It Again."
