DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... RIP Charlie Daniels

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away

I just saw that

I always liked the CDB.


Rest in Peace, Charlie. One of a kind.

RIP Charlie.

RIP Charlie, you will be missed.

RIP

Still have the "Full Moon" album on vinyl.

"El Toreador" was my favorite then.

RIP Charlie...... the devil isn’t going to take him.

RIP Charlie.

I'm not a country fan, but "The devil went down to Georgia" is a pretty great song.

I still have Million Mile Reflections on vinyl. Great tunes on that, not just Devil Went Down to Georgia.

I saw him in concert many, many years ago. I was a kid and unhappy I was being forced to watch a country show. They put on one of the better concerts I've ever seen. It was a high energy show from start to finish. I think he changed his bow 3 times.

Always liked his stuff ... RIP Charlie

He died of a stroke. He had a stroke in 2010, and recovered.

You live and learn. The CDB could hammer down.

I liked Charlie Daniels. When I had my Harley, I used to ride w/a guy who absolutely loved Charlie Daniels. When I went to his house to party, he would blast some of Charlie's songs on this elaborate reel-to-real system that he had w/humongous speakers. Old Charlie could get your foot a-tappin.

I was mostly unhappy because we saw him at kings dominion. I would have rather been on rides. In hindsight, I'm really happy I saw him.

I don't know about kings dominion...maybe a amusement park? Anyway, hindsight usually brings clarity. Glad you look back and are happy. Charlie was a talented guy. He may not have played the music you liked, but it is hard to deny the talent.

Here is one many folks never heard

Cool my friend. Johnny Cash, Marty Stewart, Travis Tritt. Seen all three live. Cash and Stewart multiple times. Not sure who was the fiddle player.

Thanks for sharing. Anything with Johnny Cash is important.

Johnny and Elvis were running buddies in the early days of rock. As their careers skyrocketed, Elvis leaned a bit more towards rock, but stayed true to country and gospel. Johnny veered more towards country, but stayed true to gospel and rock.

It's why both are in all three hall of fames. Johnny was more the songwriter, thus he is in that as well.

In another vid you posted, Marty Stewarts band the Superlatives....Cousin Kenny...as good as it gets, man. If you get a chance to see Marty, go! I have seen him twice, and look forward to the 3rd.

My personal favorite.

I saw Travis and Marty together I believe it was during their no hats tour in the early 90's

The Charlie Daniels Band was the post-ceremony entertainment when I graduated boot camp or perhaps it was part of a 9/11 remembrance ceremony that just happened to coincide ( link ). The memory is a little hazy. They played this song. I thought it was a somewhat strange choice.

Prayers for His Family ...

Think Kings Island. I believe there was one in Ohio. Same rides, different names.

Saw CDB live in a college concert with ZZ Top of all people. Thanks for all the fine sing along fiddling'. Could not ignore it when he caught fire. RIP, big fella.

Apparently Alexa wanted to tribute Charlie Daniels, and woke me up to Devil Went Down To Georgia this morning. 4 snare hits and a fiddle is a heck of a wake up.

That would have been a great concert. Charlie was a country guy mostly, but he charted on the rock charts all the time. I don't know that ZZ hit the country charts, but they have that Texas Blues things going on. I don't know many country fans who don't like ZZ.

Good music is good music. You may not like everything, but if songs have a hook, they can catch a lot of fish.

I saw Charlie Daniels once. Did a cover of Free Bird, and preached before the Devil Went Down to Georgia. Good show, but those are the two things I remember most from it...
