Down Here on the Ground is an album by the jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery, released in 1968.

The song "Down Here on the Ground" is Montgomery's version of the theme song from the movie Cool Hand Luke, by Lalo Schifrin.

[2] In his AllMusic review, Anthony Romero-- One of the most brilliantly orchestrated albums ever produced by Don Sebesky full of emotion and timeless beauty.

Wes continues to astound with brilliant performances of contemporary classics like Georgia, Going to Detroit, the Fox, and Say a Little Prayer.

Wes's treatment of popular songs is his true gift.
