Charlie Daniels has long been the bread and butter of country music. His solo career has spanned 4 decades, and his musical collaborations go back to the 50s, including such famous names as Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. With songs like his famed “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” Daniels has made himself known as a virtuoso of the fiddle. His sound combines complex accompaniment with classic country melodies and lyrics that range from the politically charged message from “Still in Saigon” to the Mark Twain-esque tale in “The Legend of Wooley Swamp.” The South might as well unofficially name Daniels as their spokesman. Lucky for us locals, he is willing to take his talent North of the Mason-Dixon line.
