Charlie Daniels passed today, R.I.P. Charlie. May he win his violin tussle with the devil
(Topic ID: 272442)
If you know more than one Charlie Daniels song...you might be a redneck!
I only know one but it’s enough. One of the great novelty hits of all time! Probably sold a lot of fiddles too.
Quoted from yancy:Who else came here for Ennio Morricone?
Holy shit really?
That sucks.
Also...he was still alive?!

In 1974, he launched the first “Volunteer Jam,” a regular all-star concert that has continued for nearly 50 years. Daniels joined the Grand Ole Opry in 2008, and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016."

You don't know "Uneasy Rider" (either version but the '88 version is very politically-incorrect today, original still better anyway) or "Long Haired Country Boy"?? Other favs of mine include Drinking my Baby Goodbye and Legend of Wooley Swamp.

Looked them up and def never heard them. Little too country to play on classic rock stations would be my guess
About twenty years ago we went to go see Hank Williams JR in concert. Opening act was Charlie Daniels who proceeded to tear the roof off the place, I mean that man was NONSTOP for 2+ hours, WOW!! Hank Jr. gets up on stage and that was the worst thing I'd ever heard. I kept hoping they would take Jr. back off stage and bring Charlie back out but no such luck. RIP in Mr. Daniels.

Long Haired Country Boy used get the occasionally play on the main rock stations around here back in the mid / late 70s / early 80s. Uneasy Rider is just funny, "steppin and fetchin like their heads were on fire and their asses were catching"
We saw him at a smaller Country Fair a couple years ago when he was 80 years old and he was still fantastic in concert. Put on a great show and we were just totally amazed at the energy he had on stage. Glad we got to see him live one last time! A concert we will never forget in a great little venue so you felt up close & personal.
Quoted from TheLaw:once Upon a Time in the West.
The best, Western hands down! 
Quoted from whthrs166:The best, Western hands down!
I like it but it just can’t compete with the sprawling epic that is Good Bad and Ugly.
A few years back i started listening more to Johnny Cash on Pandora.. which led me into some Charlie Daniels' stuff.
Really enjoy his music.
RIP.
I was living in Texas when "country rock" was getting big down there with Jerry Jeff Walker and Ray Wliey Hubbard. Uneasy Rider hit the airwaves and I had to have that vinyl album.
At one time I had all of the words memorized.
I was taking a trip to LA
Tooling along in my Chevrolet
Tokin' on a number
And diggin' on the radio.
I remember reading years go that Charlie had changed his ways and sort of dis-owned Long Hair Country Boy.
RIP Charlie
One of my favorite commercials of all time.
Hard to pic a favorite from all of Charlie's greats, but Legend of Wooley Swamp is right up the with The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Both are excellent written tales to go along with great fiddle playing.
RIP CD
RIP Ennio Morricone.
When I was 14 years old in 1966 I was an usher at the old Crestwood Theater in Crestwood, Missouri. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly played there for over three months. One showing a night because the movie was so long. Sold out the theater almost every night.
I worked there every night 6 days a week. I know the soundtrack to this movie by heart. And I never got tired of listening to it. Still my favorite movie and soundtrack to this day.
