I believe Charlie Daniels once said " The difference between a violin and a fiddle is that a violin has strings and a fiddle has strangs." It always made me laugh.

[@alanjones4358]

The real way to tell the difference is to count the number of teeth of the person playing it.

[@deannacrownover3]

There's a slight difference, but not a big enough difference to make them to separate instruments. A fiddle has a slightly flatter bridge to allow for grabbing two strings at once more easily. It's done with a violin as well it's just a larger reach. I play a fiddle (and I have all my teeth)!

I was blessed to be born and raised where Charlie made his home outside Nashville. He did so much for our town and we loved him. He was so generous and humble. I was at the dr office at our local hospital and when i came outside hundreds of motorcycles were lining up outside the Emergency room. Charlie had passed away and the motorcycles lead his hearse to the funeral home. He was such a genuine man. He used to have rodeos at his home and helped our community so much. Mt Juliet will always remember and cherish Charlie and his family.

I remember once my black neighbor had a birthday party and asked me to bring some music. This was way before rap. The partygoers were mixed races, but when we put that song on, every single one of them was yee-hawing and do-si-do-ing and having a big old time. I'm so glad you finally got to hear this.

[@natev1956]

Actually According To Jesus he is dead like worm food in sheol. Do your research Annie. I studied science religion in history and sadly religions have lead millions and billions of people astray based on tradition. Not the Bible. Obviously atheism and agnosticism not the answer cuz there's no hope or future for that. So that gives us the Bible, God's word. So how can we trust it Annie? Should we just go by what other people say or tell us what we think we should know or live by or should we do a proper study of it ourselves? There is many false religions that teach many Falls things the Bible says that are like wolves in sheep's clothing ,what religion are you? Most religions teach immortality of the Soul and if you're bad you burn forever in hell. 1st John 4: 8 says:God is love. So if God is love do you really think he'd burn someone alive forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever. If you ever had a child and they made the greatest of mistakes would you hold their hand on the burner of the stove forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and burn your little child's hand over and over and over and over and over again. The thought is Ludacris and ridiculous. Hellfire is not a Bible teaching. It's not. It started in the Middle Ages for priests to make a crap pile of money from people who would lost loved ones who wanted to keep their souls out of this so-called hell so they pay crab Palace of money was called the "sale of indulgences" priest made a ton of money off of it during the Middle Ages and then it continued down to our day and now people think that this is real that people burn in hell the word hell in the Bible has two meanings Sheol and Gehenna. Sheol means that you will get a resurrection post Armageddon and gehenna or the wicked that will not and they are cut off forever doesn't mean they're going to burn in hell forever just means that they will cease to exist forever. I'm tired it's late I don't have time to explain all this s*** to you do your own research actually the best place to go is JW org. Type in the search bar whatever you want to know like why does God allow suffering etcetera

This song - this band - is the epitome of "Southern Rock." And the reason the crowd cheers when he says, "I told you once, you son of a 6itch. . . ." is because they made him record "Son of a gun" for the radios to play.

[@danshotguns4226]

Not really,, it's more of a bluegrass rock, than Southern rock...If you want the definition of "southern rock" is Lynyrd skynyrd.

[@TonyM1961]

This is NOT "Southern Rock". It's more "Country Pop". If you want to compare ACTUAL Southern Rock, listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, .38 Special and (of course) the progenitors of the genre, Creedence Clearwater Revival (Run Through The Jungle, Green River, Born On The Bayou, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi and Cotton Fields will get you started down that rabbit hole). Funny part is that CCR wasn't from the south, but from California

At the concert there were four kids that came in with spiked hair, mohawks, leathers, and black everything and they were dancing in the aisle when CDB played this song (much like you did in the video).

There was a crossover brand of music in the 70s and 80s known as Southern Rock. Charlie Daniels, Exile, Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, etc. broke the Country Western mold to be rock stars for a brief moment in history. Music is a great equalizer. Rap, RnB, hip hop, and rock all blended into a medley of inspiration for us children of the time. We listened to Charlie Daniels, Adam Ant, and N.W.A. all at the same beautiful moment. I feel privileged to have been a young soul in the early 80s. It was magical and we believed that anything was possible…even peace and equality on Earth. ❤

[@tomswoodwork]

The back story on the song that Charlie himself said in an interview, is they were recording a new album. He then realized, he didn't have a fiddle song for the album. He had the lyrics rolling in his head for a while and sat down and wrote them down on a plain piece of paper. They went into the practice studio and started rehearsing. The instrumental solo, was made up by the band as they went along. Now remember, they did not write or practice this before the day they were in the studio, it was all done THAT day. They got the tune they wanted, went into the main studio and recorded the song and put it on the album. And the rest, is history. (Someone can correct me if i'm wrong on any of this, it's from memory of the 45th anniversary interview of the song.) RIP Charlie, and thank you for all the great music you gave us.

I saw them play this in 1976 (I think or there about) They opened for Eric Clapton. This was their finality for the evening. The jam was twice as long as this version, The entire Inglewood Forum was bouncing up & down It felt like an almost 6.7 on the Richter Scale earthquake. I was there to see the other band that night, I was not a fan. Until I saw them do this show, this was back when they were up & coming. Just getting air time and getting their names out there. This is an example for every musician, it doesn't matter if you are new or old, You get up there and play like it is the first & the last time you play. Then you will play the audience like a master conductor & you can Change people's hearts & minds and rock their brains out. CDB is an example of a band that did that for me & thousands of others. I love that the younger folks are discovering music, 'They' say, if you are around long enough you can see the new become old & the old become new again. Once in a while, I think maybe, 'They" are correct. Peace Music gives the soul exactly what the heart gives it's body, a beat & rhythm & script to live its fullest.

The first rap song ever recorded on record was Rapper's Delight. It was released in September 1979, and was the first rap song to make the top 40. This Charlie Daniels Band song was released 3 months earlier than that. Which is funny because Charlie Daniels obviously knew nothing about rap music, most of us didn't at that time. He was just doing what he does.

Technically the first ever rap song recorded is Devil Went Down to Georgia! That is, unless there's something similar among the old, old blues records (which is still possible).

[@xheralt]

Charlie probably thought of this song as something more in the vein of "talkin' blues"

[@Bleeglesplotch]

The first rap song recorded was actually called Noah by The Jubilaires

Hello, love your commentary! I was at that Charlie Daniels Band concert in Saratoga Performing Arts Center all those years ago. When he played this song, we were ON OUR FEET! It was fantastic!

[@DeliaDevlin-eu6oj]

I truly enjoyed your reaction to this. I grew up in south Georgia and I swear this is one of those bands that is a requirement to listen to

[@kenangerstein3561]

Charlie Daniels was an incredible performer. I saw him in concert in 83 in Atlantic City. He did an encore. That encore, literally, brought the house down. The song? Amazing Grace! The crowd went WILD! Now, where the concert was held---a casino showroom!!! He was an electric performer. May he rest in peace....

When this song came out it seems like we all learned the lyrics just by listening to the story of the song. My mom was raised on classical music, but, although the lyrics weren't her style, she tolerated us singing along every time, haha. She played the violin and truly understood how impressive that was.

[@vickiturner8396]

I saw them perform this a few years before he passed. He was in his 70s. He played so hard and fast he kept breaking the bow and they’d throw him another…never missed a beat. Amazing!

Your reaction to this song was as epic as the song itself. Love it! Charlie Daniels was one of the greats, and he outdid himself when he wrote this song. RIP Charlie!

[@aydenquincy1847]

I remember when this song came out on the radio. NO ONE had heard anything like this before. This song topped the chart at our ROCK station. The tempo, the rifts on the fiddle and the fact that the lyrics were spoken. All of it was new to us. It caused a little "conflict" because the phrase, "...you son of a bitch" was in it and at that time, no one was even allowed to use the word "ass" on the radio OR TV. Finally, it was decided - at least at our local station - that to censure the phrase would be an infringement of free speech and as some wise church leader said, it wasn't like the children in the community hadn't heard it already. Besides, he went on to explain, it would only last a little while and all would go back to normal, anyway. He was right and it sure was nice to hear the song in its entirety without that weird, "BEEEEEEEP" that the phrase had taken the place of. Still, a great memory. 😁

[@GetToTheFarm]

radio edits often say "son of a gun"

[@RebeccaTaylorTillery]

​@GetToTheFarm that's the way I heard it too. I didn't know that there was an original with the b word in it. Gun sounds better anyway because it rhymes better

Rifts? Don't you mean " riffs" ? Or do you know the difference?

Yes. I was 12 years old when this came out. We had a jukebox in our lunchroom at school in junior high. This song played constantly! Love it.

[@RoGueNavy]

There's actually a sequel to this song. "The Devil Came Back to Georgia". Johnny Cash does the narration, Travis Tritt voices the Devil, Marty Stuart voices Johnny, and a session musician named Mark O'Connor joins Charlie for the fiddle parts. But where Charlie played each note, Mark plays that note, plus the ones just above and below Charlie's. He plays three notes for every one Charlie plays. It is mind-boggling.

[@DjangoStock]

I was gonna suggest he check this one out too. Glad someone else mentioned this one. Great tune! 👍

Loved seeing your reaction to this song/performance! I worked in Nashville in the music industry in the 80s and 90s and Charlie was one of our clients. I had the pleasure of meeting him on many occasions and saw him perform this song live so many times. I never bored of watching it because his performance on this song was always fire! 🔥🔥🔥 Even better? He was an incredible kind and generous person. Even though I've been out of the music industry for over 25 years, I was still saddened to hear when he passed back in 2020 following a stroke.

Same here. I never liked country music. But I was a screaming fan at one of their concerts when I was in high school.

Consider this: it's one of the only country songs that still gets daily air play on classic rock stations. That speaks volumes.

If you’re not a country fan you just haven’t heard the right country, mainly outlaw country is the best.

@@johnnyappleseed5590, liking outlaw country doesn't mean you like country music... it means you like real music. Mainstream, modern country is performed by soy-boys and wannabes, and I will NEVER be a fan of that brand of country.

Charlie Daniels Band was very popular in the 1970's - 1980's. They did a lot of field parties, carnivals and concerts all over the US. They frequently played in concerts with Hank Williams Jr, David Allen Coe, Walen Jennings, Stevie Ray Vahan and Lynyard Skynard, etc... They all pretty much introduced America to rockabilly.
