This was in 1979 spitting bars before the general public knew it was called rap but it goes way back in country and blue grass music. Loved your reaction. The only difference between a violin and a fiddle is the way it is played. Charlie Daniel's was one of the best fiddle players in country music.

[@ruthparker9756]

A violin has strings, and a fiddle has "strangs". 😉

[@kevinsmith4429]

@@ruthparker9756 You beat me to it Ruth.

[@catwhisperer9489]

No, that's not the only difference, Kay---if people, where I'm from, heard you say that, they'd go a little crazy!! LOL. A fiddle is bigger than a violin, has steel strings (or, "strangs"; I like that), flat bridge (so that more than one note can be played at a time), and it is held differently (violin, top of shoulder; fiddle, below collar bone). I used to get a little angry at Charlie for almost always playing a violin---my being from Appalachia, where the fiddle is, maybe, most prominent---but, because he played it, so well, I forgave him.

[@kayweathers4879]

@@catwhisperer9489 I know but I was just giving a basic difference for those that have never been around great fiddle music but both can be played as the other. I went to school with someone who played their instrument as both.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

If Charlie were still with us, I'd be sending this reaction his way. This was epic. The genre is essentially known as southern rock, but Charlie Daniels really had his own style. Country is my least favorite style of music, but I could listen to this all day. Unfortunately, he passed in 2020. Today is yet another sad day with the passing of another icon, Meatloaf. If you don't know who that is, please react to Paradise By the Dashboard Light.

[@noahhyde8769]

And...to the host's point about 'hip-hop going on here' and 'since when did cowboys learn to rap?' ...this was in 1979, I'm guessing before he was born. Some trends were already set, by those you'd never suspect, far earlier than you'd ever guess. Music is an endless well of discovery -- especially (as I've learned) in the past.

@@ABtheKreator then you missed out on good contry songs with a rapish type of feel. Talking while singing is a country music tradition that's as old as the genre itself. You should react to "A Boy Named Sue" next. Slower, but still up tempo, and in the rap type of format. Also the song "One Peice at a Time" about stealing car parts. They're both Johnny Cash. Another great song with this type of format is called "This Cowboys Hat" by Chris Ledoux it is slower but based on the true story of his and the writers friend who once stood up to a biker gang who was bullying him about his cowboy hat. These are all over 50 years old and technically in the sub genre of "Outlaw Country".

The lines in "Johnny's" verse that were hard to understand are actually the names of old time fiddle tunes. Bluegrass and oldtime country/western has a decades- (if not century) -long tradition of story songs. There's even a whole genre of "cowboy poetry."

[@catwhisperer9489]

Yeah, Red Steagall, the gentleman who discovered Reba McEntire, is a cowboy poet---and some, he set to music; like, the one about "Dodge City" (like the town in "Gunsmoke" - it even mentions Miss Kitty, and the "Long Branch" saloon)!!

[@gigih.hammer306]

I'm strictly a country western fan. I'm German and never heard C/W music in Germany. My American military husband introduced me to this kind of music. First country song I heard over here was by the king of country music, George Jones. I didn't understand the words, but his voice touched me deeply. I actually cried hearing his voice. The song I heard was He stopped loving her today. After I understood English and I understood the words of that song, I cry every time I hear it. Don't matter how often I heard that song, it will bring me to tears. He was my favorite singer. I now listen to George Strait and Alan Jackson. To me those two are the new kings. Those two stick to their roots. Have a large playlist by both of them. Of course George Jones is on there too. But there are still many good classic country music singers out there. It's a shame that Nashville don't record their music anymore. I totally don't like the new style of country music. What was Beyonce doing at the CWAW music show. I only watched part of that award show. Alan .Jackson walked out when she performed with the Dixi chicks. Made me feel proud of him. Nashville bared him for that. I don't think he really cares. He is already a big enough Star; his fans won't care either. I know I don't care. My English writing is still quite bad. Guess the way I think and write, I get so many underlined words in blue.

LOUDEST CONCERT EVER!!! Charlie Daniel’s 1976 Wichita KS

[@mikedineen7857]

No the WHO was the loudest live band ever

[@barbaracampbell7127]

Charlie wrote "Devil went down to Georgia". Mr. Daniels was incredible, highly educated, well spoken and strong as an ox. He was 20 miles from nowhere on a snow mobile when he had a stroke. Took himself to the hospital. The other songwriters involved in this tune were Tom Crain "Taz" DiGregorio Fred Edwards Charles Hayward James W Marshall. Again your reactions are priceless. Stay warm.

[@tomwalker779]

Story telling takes many forms, be it folk, country, blues, blue grass, rap. All come from the same place, the common human need to share our stories.

[@kevinswinyer3176]

@ Barbara Campbell, actually, Charlie was not the one who wrote "The Devil Went Down To Georgia", Charlie had commented that they forgot to record a Fiddle Song for the Album that they were recording at the time, which was the "Million Mile Reflections" Album, released in 1979. His Keyboardist, Taz Digregorio actually wrote "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" for Charlie to adapt into a Fiddle Tune for the Album, and it became a huge hit. Charlie himself told me how the song came about, and how Taz not only wrote the Lyrics for it, but he also wrote the opening riff of the Music for the Song as well.

[@barbaracampbell7127]

@@kevinswinyer3176 The song is written in the key of D minor. Vassar Clements originally wrote the basic melody an octave lower, in a tune called "Lonesome Fiddle Blues" released on Clements' self-titled 1975 album on which Charlie Daniels played guitar. Charlie Daniels said in 2007, ""I don't know where it came from, but it just did," Daniels reflected. "Well, I think I might know where it came from, it may have come from an old poem called 'The Mountain Whippoorwill' that Stephen Vincent Benet wrote many, many years ago, that I had in high school. He didn't use that line, but I started playing, and the band started playing, and first thing you know we had it down."

Charlie was a once in a generation talent and he is missed.

[@dianemiller7705]

A bit of trivia. In 1980, Charlie broke his right arm in 5 places. No one thought that he would ever be able to play again. He did.

[@kevinswinyer3176]

@ Diane Miller, I believe he nearly completely lost his arm after getting it caught in a piece of farm equipment of some sort, and they were not sure at first if they were even going to be able to save it, or if they would have to amputate it, but as we know, they were able to not only save it, but make it useable again, even though it left him with permanent nerve damage in the fingers of his right hand. He refused to give up, and started picking up the guitar, and just playing the scales, and when he got more strength built back up, he picked up the mandolin, and Fiddle, and started working with them as well.

[@eclconsulting]

"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is a song written and performed by the Charlie Daniels Band and released on their 1979 album Million Mile Reflections. Rap first came to national prominence in the United States with the release of the Sugarhill Gang's song “Rapper's Delight” (1979) on the independent African American-owned label Sugar Hill. Within weeks of its release, it had become a chart-topping phenomenon and given its name to a new genre of pop music.

This legend of a man gave my platoon the most amazing showing of how to play the guitar and perform. let me give some context I was stationed at Habbaniyah Iraq with the Archangel QRF in 05-06. That camp was not the safest camp at the time. So The band did not come and he could not bring his fiddle‎. It was hot and miserable but he came anyways. No amp, No equipment Just Charlie Daniels and a guitar. We got a Q&A and the chance to just talk to him. lol, he apologize because he broke his fingernails and had to use picks. He felt he could not play to his best. It still was a master class in classic guitar playing. He is the goat when it comes to fiddle‎ and ‎guitar. up there with Jimi and Clapton. He did a lot for soldiers. The platoon and I were just setting on the floor at his feet while he picked away on the guitar. It was one of my best memory of Iraq.

Yay!!! You did Charlie! I met him when I worked as a concert usher. True grit sweetheart.

This is the first rap song I ever loved! It came out the same year .....1979.... as Rappers Delight....the song considered the start of rap. Great that you reacted to this! Keep it interesting! 🔥😁 The look on your face...priceless! lol. Didnt expect that did you?! lol. Usually the difference between a violin and a fiddle is what type of music is being played! lol. But Charlie Daniels could play classical or this! RIP Charlie Daniels! 🙏

Just discovered your channel yesterday! You've brought me so many laughs! I can't believe that you had never heard this song before, but then, I grew up with it and remember hearing The Charlie Daniel's Band over 40 years ago singing this song on an outdoor grandstand stage at one of our local fairgrounds. I was about ten then.

I saw him in concert at my local fair about 7 times. Any time he came, i was sure to catch his show. Always Electricfying

Yes, these cowboys could rap. In fact, I seen them him concert back in the 90’s and got to see this old white cowboy sing “Woomp there is it” by Tag Team. My sister, her friend and I were singing right along with him, so needless to say, we had a lot of cowboys in the audience watching us with a lot of confusion. It was great!! So much fun!!😂

My husband and I did security for this wonderful band. Awesome and great people all around.

"Since when did cowboys learn to rap?" Haha! This is by FAR the best reaction I have ever seen! I love that you react to genres outside of what might be one's "considered norm" or old school. Its rad.

I'm a48 year old Goth Chick, grew up on this song. I LOOOOOOVE watching hip hop artists react to my stuff lol!!

I've been so depressed and crying at 1:35am....I stumbled on this and I love Charlie Daniel's, but u made me laugh out loud...thank u

[@jennifercaldwell9416]

I have seen them in concert more times than I can count, more often than not, for free! They used to play a lot of festivals in my area.

[@GrayZiazanne]

I knew this one was going to blow you away. Knew it was worth watching. Thank you for sharing!

[@sandicooley1611]

I seen him 3 times. His grandson is just like him. Working the fiddle like him. Awesome band.

[@denisecarpenter2981]

I saw them in concert in college. Between 1976 and 1980. Can’t remember the exact date. But I was sooooo tired I actually fell asleep during a drum solo. Awwww, college. The good old days. 😂😂😂

[@Triggerhippie70]

I love your reaction. I’m not a country music fan but I listen to everything else. I can rap during this time and this fucking song is amazing! Clearly one of the best songs ever written

[@dinapopecaten2454]

They owned that shit!!! They walked right off stage!!!
