“I’ve never heard a fiddle played like that.” Since that was the devil’s part, that means he got it right in my opinion.👏

In case some don't know, a violin has strings. A fiddle has strangs. Charlie was sawing those strangs almost hard enough to make them smoke. What a talented guy. RIP.

Charlie worked well into his later years and I had the great fortune of watching him live in syracuse new york right before he passed, old dude was full of energy and had the huge crowd on our feet and clapping and cheering, he busted the fiddle strings a few times, he just reached for backups, rip Charlie ill never forget that show

[texknight]

Charlie's been gone three years now. There witll never be another like him. He was an icon.

What's so great about this is, it hits on every aspect. Great story, great melodies and several different genres perfectly blended together. The vocals are spot on, the musicianship is amazing and it's real music that somehow connected with a mass audience. There's some songs that stand the test of time and this is one of them.

[Canine]

As a southern boy, my high school years consisted of Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Pure Prairie League as southern rock staples. All are well worth your consideration.

[Macdelaven]

This song highlights the difference between playing a violin and playing a fiddle. I remember when this song was out and it had regular airplay not only on country radio but on all the rock stations in Detroit. Nice reaction.

Worked security for CDB back in the day...wild times..everyone born between 1970 and 1980 knows every word to this song...Primus does an excellent cover, but you have to watch the video, classic Claypool...

[jeffc]

I've always enjoyed this one, and yes, I can remember when it used to play on the radio.

[pyroman]

The harmonys got that good, because the Charlie Daniels Band is an old school blue collar band- they rehearsed relentlessly, and played wherever whenever, and to whomever. They were 110% committed- it was swim or drown. That's just how most of those southern bands were. I had the pleasure of seeing them live, and they were on FIRE. That was most definitely a bucket list item checked off!

Having seen a LOT of country artists live, I can tell you, country crowds absolutely do get that excited and roar like that. For example, when I saw Martina McBride, the crowd was so into it and so enthusiastic we made HER cry! Which is only fair- she had us all in the palm of her hand, and had the whole crowd in tears several times with the sheer power and beauty of her singing, and the lyrics of her songs. At more than one point, we were cheering so loud I was actually concerned we might bring the roof down on our heads, lol. For an example of what she can do, look up "Broken Wing" "Valentine" or "Concrete Angel" You won't be sorry!

When Alan Jackson came on stage next, he got much the same reaction.

The things they sing about hit close to home, ALL of them sing just as good live as in the studio, and the bands come to PLAY. We're all there to have a great time, and paint the town red, sooo.

I had the opportunity to see him live twice. At an outdoor concert a train was sounding it’s horn in the distance and he started dueling with the train horn. He was an icon of southern rock/country music. An amazing story teller and musician. The world is a darker place without him.

[davidloughridge]

A true American Icon. R.I.P. Charlie, you were one of the good ones. If you like country try Randy Travis - Three Wooden Crosses. No other voice like his.

[chrisholland]

While this one really doesn't have a lot of singing, more spoken, but the fiddle feast is something to genuinely behold. And please note that the keyboards player has a broken hand, but is still banging it out. Charlie was one of a kind. It will be many years before we will see his caliber on the fiddle again.

[yarrrrmebucko]

Charlie Danials was an American Treasure...and like Roy Clark, he was a master of his chosen instrument. And yes, Tenacious D owe's an enormous debt to Charlie Danials' music.

[davidcreager]

Beth, absolutely loved your reaction to Charlie Daniels ! You should check out some of his other songs, such as, long haired country boy, still in siagon, lengend of wolley swamp. Hope you do more of him soon ❤️!

[techman]

It surprises me that you have never heard of The Charlie Daniels Band or the story of how a boy named Johnny won a golden fiddle off of the devil himself. Then again I remember that I live in the southern US and that song is required listening by the time you are five.

[RushFanatic]

This is CDB’s most popular song, but my favorite will always be “Still in Saigon.” It showcases Charlie Daniel’s’ true singing ability and is a chilling, emotional song about his PTSD from serving in Vietnam.

[proehm]

If you appreciate truly great musicianship, check out the late, great Roy Clark.

[WhiteTiger]

"I've never heard anyone play the fiddle like that". Well, it was the devil, after all - lol! Wasn't he great? Perfect enunciation in that rapid-fire delivery. The reason Charlie got that delighted crowd chuckle at the line "you son of a bitch" is because it was changed to "you son of a gun" for radio play.

[brucecronin]

Charlie played the fiddle so fast and hard he often went through 3-4 Bows in a LIVE set. Many videos show him playing with most of the horsehair broken and just flying around off the bow till the song ended and he quickly pull out another bow, from a tube full of spare bows, located near him onstage, and ready for the next song.
