First Time Hearing The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia (REACTION)

[@ememnicholas565]

We lost Charlie Daniels a few years back. He was a storyteller, a fiddle player, a patriot and a national treasure.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Sorry to hear that. Definitely will explore more of his music.

[@tjhorne82]

He's from not far from where I live in NC

[@johnathanstruble1064]

National Treasure. Damn Skippy! ✌️♥️

[@Pr3ttyVac4nt]

The 4 lines "Fire on the Mountain, run boys run The devil's in the house of the rising sun Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough Granny does your dog bite, no child no" are all lines from separate folk/country/bluegrass songs from the American South. "Fire on the Mountain" was a 19th century fiddle tune, "The House of the Rising Sun" was a traditional Southern folk song, "Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough" was a line from a song called "Ida Red" by Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, and "Granny Does Your Dog Bite" was from a fiddle tune called "Soldier's Joy."

[@maryhuhnke4706]

I did not know any of that. Thank You! ❤

[@chrisholland6052]

Charlie didn't simply play the fiddle, he would make it stand up and dance.

[@SaeedReacts.]

This was awesome! Definitely checking out more!

Check out the Geico commercial where he takes the violin from the guy at the fancy restaurant and plays it as a fiddle.

This live version gives me goosebumps. This song is a classic!

I was lucky enough to see Charlie Daniels Band in concert years ago. He was an amazing storyteller and fiddler.

[@HocusPocusFocus69]

Charlie's band was unbelievably tight!

[@ashleydixon4613]

Who else remembers gymnast Dominique Moceanu doing her floor routine to this song in 1996 at the Olympics in Atlanta? Perfect idea-as soon as they heard the first few notes, the crowd erupted! Of course she nailed it, and was part of the Magnificent Seven, the first US gymnastics team to win team gold. ❤

This song is incredible! Great storytelling.

[@bjspeck4337]

This is probably my favorite Southern song and nobody does that better than Charlie Daniels. He did this one in 1979 when I was 28. When Charlie Daniels died, Vince Gill sang "Go Rest High on that Mountain" for him. I was tickled when I saw you doing this one and knew you'd love it. Look up some of Jim Croce's work - Photographs and Memories, Operator, my favorite of his, Time in a Bottle, I'll Have to Say I Love You In a Song.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I loved this! So good. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@Rob-eo5ql]

The last verse is so great. It’s like, Yeah! LET’S GO!!!

[@SaeedReacts.]

100% ! So good!

[@thewindle]

Welcome to 1979. Charlie Daniels is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, this tells you why. Still played on both classic country and classic rock radio stations today. Great reaction. Charlie Daniels passed away in 2020.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Amazing song! Looking forward to explore more.

[@vladyvhv9579]

Still played on regular Country stations as well.

[@Acoustic_strings]

They did make him record a version with Son of a Gun because some radio stations wouldnt play it

[@vladyvhv9579]

We saw the band live in concert. He paused a moment to gague the crowd before saying the "sonnova bitch" version, and the whole place cheered.

[@heidifruchtl354]

If you don't know the difference between a violin and a fiddle, a violin has strings, and a fiddle has strangs. Rip Charlie. He is a true genius. This was released before the first official rap song. Charlie wasn't truly country, he was able to cross into several different genres. Same as Dolly. Check out her collaboration with PTX on Jolene.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I knew the name fiddle, but never really knew what it was and how it sounded. Thanks so much for sharing this info! I checked out that collaboration. Should be in the Pentatonix reactions playlist.

[@heidifruchtl354]

@SaeedReacts. Dolly is an absolute gem. My dad, who played violin as a child, and his 2 younger grandchildren also played. He told me about a late night show where the host had Charlie and some famous violisnist who made some comment that Charlie couldn't play "real" music, so Charlie picked up his fiddle and played a famous classic piece, no music sheets around. I have spent hours trying to find it. Dad couldn't remember which show, and he passed away, so I can't ask. Charlie doesn't really fit into any specific genre. But his storytelling ability. He passed away in 2020. He was a great entertainmer. There is a sequel to this song, with several other artists. It's called the devil went back to Georgia. Enjoy!

[@vladyvhv9579]

Fiddle and violin are the same instrument, physically. It's just tuned differently and fiddle music tends to be much more energetic and fast-paced, while violin is more slow and somber. My grandpa played fiddle and gave his to my uncle's wife when they married. For many years, she played it as violin in her church's orchestra.

[@tjhorne82]

Getting to see them live is definitely one thing in my life I did right.

[@ericgaudet5488]

There will never be anyone that can back a viddle sound like metal and country like Mr Charlie Daniels he was one of a kind and his type of music will never die & never be copy .

[@staciemoisa4884]

I grew up listening to The Charlie Daniels Band. I was lucky enough to see him live, shredding his bow, many times.He was a great story teller, and one of my favorites was The Legend of Woolly Swamp. As a writer, I think you'll love that one.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Awesome you saw him live! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@JeanetteFaith]

@@SaeedReacts.@SaeedReacts. I saw him live as well. He's such a good storyteller because he's from the South. I'm from Georgia, and we are great storytellers because we can't read or write. LOL.

[@MD14k]

I was lucky to see them as a 17yr old in a very small show. It was years after this one, and it was still straight fire.

[@brendasorenson6186]

I remember when this was first played on the radio. We always listened closely, just in case the DJ played the "real" instead of the sanitized version. (SOB instead of son of a gun. It was the late 1970s, when bad words were a rarity on the radio.)

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing! Love that! I probably would have done the same 😄

[@karenwalsh1143]

I remember that too!!! Thanks for the memory ❤

[@chrisashley5206]

I remember playing this song repeatedly the first day I heard it. We had it on an 8 track tape.

[@blindeyedog01]

Ole Charlie made most his living doing gospel music. I met the keyboard player one cold night in Wisconsin, he was a really nice guy. ❤❤

[@pjb3583]

I learned the lyrics to this when it first came out - and I can still sing along! You’ll find some of the best storytellers in country music, and also some absolutely fabulous musicians. What comes to mind is Harper Valley PTA, Sunday Morning Coming Down and He Stopped Loving Her Today as far as story songs. I’m sure others, who know country music much better than I do, will have other examples. Love this song and loved your reaction to it. Peace …

[@SaeedReacts.]

Its amazing how lyrics stay with us throughout the years. Thanks for watching and the recommendations!

[@legionaireb]

One I've always loved is 'She's In Love with the Boy.' The last verse always gets to me. Then on the other end of the emotional scale there's 'Third Rock from the Sun.'

[@Dandee268]

I've always loved this song growing up. I miss having fiddles and steel guitars in a lot of today's country music.

[@vladyvhv9579]

Check and see if the local stations have means of weighing in on what they play. Cause there's still a lot of country that's got that. Particularly in the Red Dirt sub-genera, which is getting back more to the 70s-early 90s feel.

The late Charlie Daniels is legendary and this is one of his most famous songs. Robert Johnson's legend holds that he met the devil 'at a crossroads' and sold his soul for mastery of the guitar. Thanks for playing this & your comments.

[@ahwhite2022]

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing these guys play live about 22 years ago. They were all a bit older, but still had that energy. It was an outdoor concert, like in the recording, and had some of the best sound I have ever heard.

This was such an amazing reaction! This was also my first time watching your channel and you’re wonderful. As a writer myself, I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it at 6 years old, sitting in the backseat of an old car on my way to grandmas house. I hung on every word, I was wrapt within the story like I was right there watching it - but I was super worried for Johnny because I kinda thought the Devil wiped the floor with him at the time 😂 it’s a moment I’ll never forget - and watching you have a very similar experience not only made my day, but it made me feel all warm and nice inside. Thank you so so much for sharing this with all of us and for making my day way better. Absolutely subscribing, of course 😊

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much for this comment. It brought a smile to my face 😃 I can relate to the feeling of falling in love with a great story and being inspired by it. This song is a masterclass in storytelling. Great concept and amazing execution. Thanks so much for subscribing!

[@chadatwell5643]

As a writer myself, I also love the story telling. There is an interesting fact about the chorus; it perfectly describes what Johnny played...ie... "fire on the mountain" run boys run...etc are all names of Bluegrass songs that are standards. It must've been an epic battle those songs are not easy.

Hello, Saeed. I don't know how I missed this reaction. It didn't show up on my notifications. I just ran across it today on my home page of KZbin, lol. I'm so glad I did. Charley Daniel's was a great storyteller, and this song will get you shaking your head and dancing in your chair. Charley once said "The difference between a Fiddle and a Violin is a Violin has strings..a Fiddle has strangs" just a different accent for the same instrument that he could play the heck out of. So glad you reacted to it and enjoyed a legend. May he rest in peace. Thank you and enjoy your day. ❤😊

#CharlieDanielsBand #DevilGoesDownToGeorgia #SaeedReacts Oh my..an oldie but goodie...yee-haa 👍😁... my family came from Georgia..both sides... I was raised in North Florida and Southern Georgia at different times and a short stay in Louisiana..so fiddles were used in a lot of music..in fact in 5th grade my teacher asked if I could join the music group after hearing me tickle the ivories during a reccess break...well pianos were out of our financial budget so dad got me a violin 😮...as we were in a home with multiple family relatives..my learning violin wasn't their cup of tea..the next year dad let music class slip 😄...then the following year he got me a second (or third) hand piano after we moved to our own private home... Since my short stint with a stringed instrument.. I can well appreciate Charlie's gift with the bow...good on you for adding this legend to your catalog... If you're looking for stories try this fella..Sir Tom Jones..yes knighted by Queen Elizabeth..and if you do listen I would recommend them in this order to hear the trifecta unfold... 💥... I'll Never Fall In Love Again 💥...I Who Have Nothing 💥... Delilah Basically I would call him a crooner in his most powerful songs but the number of writers that brought their works to him created a large and complex catalog so beyond these 3 you'll hear a wide variety..and he even had a Variety Show in his name..This Is Tom Jones... So please consider adding him to your list if you haven't heard him..the first live from the Ed Sullivan Show and the next 2 from his show if I remember correctly...I didn't see him in your playlist..and DO these 3 in order 🙏..lol... Have a wonderful morning Saeed... 🌿🌿🌿

My second favorite story from The Charlie Daniel's Band is The Legend of Wooley Swamp. Great story. This was Saratoga Springs, New York back in 1979. They were all iconic fiddle songs because switching between songs like that on a fiddle takes a lot of stamina and talent. The Sound of Silence by Disturbed, Silent Lucidity by Queensryche, and Billy Joel's The Piano Man are all good story songs I think.

I reacted to Uneasy Rider since then. I also heard about a sequel, but havent checked that one out yet.

Hi Saeed! If you like story songs, you really should listen to Harry Chapin, an American singer-songwriter who tragically died in a car accident in 1981 at the age of 38. His most famous song is "Cat's In The Cradle," but some of his other great story songs are "Mr. Tanner," "Flowers Are Red," "The Rock," "Taxi," a funny one called "Dance Band On The Titanic," and my all-time favorite song of his, "Corey's Coming." So beautiful! Hope you like them! 😁

Thanks so much for the recommendations! Will add those to my list.

Ahhh. This the one I missed. Not the sequel 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@SaeedReacts.]

This was my first reaction and then i found out about the sequel. Good stuff!

The sequel to this, "The Devil Comes Back to Georgia" by Mark O'Connor, with Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash, and Travis Tritt, is also worth a listen.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I reacted to it!

@@SaeedReacts. Whoops! Looked through and didn't see it.

The songs and lyrics he mentions in the chorus that Johnny played are all traditional folk music played/sang accompanied by fiddle. Johnny beat the Devil by drawing on his cultural heritage.

Classic.
