A violin has four strings. A fiddle has four strangs. This record was released in 1979.

When I was a kid in the early 70's my family was camping at a place called Cade's Cove in the Smokey Mountains. while we were there The Charlie Daniel's Band came in a van and camped and we could here them playing at night. Was pretty cool.

[@cmillivol98]

Cade’s Cove is gorgeous. I live in Knoxville and my family and I drive through there probably once a month. It’s awesome that you saw Charlie and his boys there!

Not only was Charlie Daniels a great musician he was a great person. He did much for his community and the Middle Tennessee area in general.

[@garyevans3421]

Charlie just recently passed away. He was up in his eighties, but before he got ill, he was regularly pleasing crowds with this and some of his other hits, but this was his monster hit that was popular with so many that weren’t fans of country music.

[@kila4]

He was also very active and politically so on twitter. A great American.

[@KMI0588]

He is by far the fiddle GOAT.

[@brnoamik]

That smug bastard behind Bill Monroe was decent too. :) Cheers

Charlie Daniels wrote so many great songs and his concerts were always sold out. The man was unbelievable! He was also extremely humble.

[@Joe-tv3wt]

Yeah saw him when I was 12 in Germany as he did a uso tour! He was amazin

[@GeraldWalls]

I saw him in Terre Haute, Indiana when I attended ISU. I remember that Juice Newton was the opening act. I just checked play dates for CD at Terre Haute and I was surprised that it must have been August 31, 1981. I would have only been at ISU for a week or two at that point. I recalled that it was later in the fall. Funny how your memory can play tricks on you like that. I mean, it was only 40 years ago.

[@sherryarflin726]

Wow I would have loved to see Juice Newton. I never had the chance.

The really amazing thing is Charlie Daniels was perfect enough to play in any symphony in the world.

[@operator0]

Charlie Daniels bought my buddy a beer once. My buddy and his friend went golfing at a local Nashville golf course one Saturday. As they were rounding the 9th hole, my buddy looked over and thought he recognized Charlie Daniels golfing with a young kid, but couldn't really tell. They began to play the next hole and my buddy got a closer look and it was Charlie. Anyway, my buddy and his friend finish up their round and go into the club house and have a few beers. Well, in walks Charlie and his grandson 20 minutes later. My buddy casually asks Charlie how his round went and they strike a up short convo about golf. No autographs were exchanged as that sort of thing is frowned on here in Nashville when celebrities are out doing normal people stuff. So, Charlie and his grandson go up to the bar and Charlie orders a Coke for his grandson and then points at my buddy and his friend and tells the bartender that those two guys look thirsty and to get them one of whatever they're having. He pays the tab with a $100 bill. says bye to everyone and leaves. My buddy asks the bartender if Charlie paid a $100 for a bar bill of $15 and she says; "Yes, he does that kind of thing all the time." Anyway, my buddy gets to tell people that Charlie Daniels bought him a beer once.

[@TexasRose50]

Its a variation of the American Crossroads legend of Robert Johnson an America blues guitarist from the early to mid 20th century. Legend has it that Robert Johnson was a gifted guitarist but unhappy with his own playing thought to make a deal with the devil in exchange for his soul the devil would give him the gift of perfect guitar mastery. So the myth goes that there was this magical crossroads where if you went at a certain time you could meet Satan and make your deal. Many musicians over the years have composed songs about the Crossroads. Starting with Robert himself and the song describes his deal with Satan and how it was such a mistake to do what he had done. Even decades later Eric Clapton covered Johnson song. There was even a decent movie around 1986 with Ralph Macchio(Yes, the Karate Kid) elaborating even more on the Crossroads by including an ending battle with Satan and his henchmen Jack Butler(played by Steve Vai) over the fate of a man who sold his soul many years before. If you get the chance check out the movie, it inspired me to take up the guitar.

[@xraysteve]

I caught the tail end of that movie not long ago. Right before the battle. Ralph had a look on his face similar to the final fight in karate kid. Like, ‘oh shit, I’m fucked’. I’d much rather fight a black belt that battle Steve Vai.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

The story about the crossroads originated with Tommy Johnson, who told it about himself. I think the myth shifted over to Robert Johnson because he's more famous.

[@kfgrip]

@@Jeff_Lichtman That would make sense, forgot about Tommy maybe thats why he made his deal,LOL!

[@sopdox]

It’s been joked about that Ralph Macchio should have gotten an Oscar for pretending he knew how to play guitar and Steve Vai should have gotten one for pretending he was bad at it.

[@CassandrashadowcassMorrison]

@@Jeff_Lichtman And because Robert wrote the song HELLHOUND ON MY TRAIL.

[@jamesbelshan8839]

How can you not like some country kid telling the Devil to come back whenever he wants to get beat again?

[@StfuFFS]

No, Tenacious D didn't rip off the concept, they literally wrote a tribute to the greatest song ever written. They never mention what that greatest song was but this is that song.

[@mumuspain2086]

My mind is blown! I've been familiar with TDWDTG for most of my life, and with Tribute since my teens, and I never pieced that together!

[@StfuFFS]

@@mumuspain2086 i spent years trying to piece that together. I cannot take credit. It was only when these guys said that that it clicked into place. It makes ABSOLUTE SENSE because it truly is the greatest song ever written.

[@flyflorida2001]

If you watch the Tenacious D Tribute video from the old hbo series, they never say it officially but heavily infer that the greatest song they refer to is Stairway to Heaven.

I've heard many country music fans say that the difference between a violin & a fiddle is that a violin has strings, but a fiddle has STRANGS! Mr. Daniels doing a little bit of Southern rapping before the word "rap" was barely known to mainstream media. This is one of those fun upbeat songs that crosses genres that makes everybody clap their hands & tap their feet. :-) Charlie passed away on July 6th 2020 at age 83... RIP

[@neolithiumproduction]

Love this song so much. Also, props to the Pianist playing with only one arm for the concert. That is talent and profession.

if you didn't know it, the charlie daniels band also did a sequel to this song called the Devil Went Back Down to Georgia. Devil wants a rematch with Johnny when he's older with kids. i'm sure you know how it goes based on this one.

[@maxvives3820]

"But then the duo revealed that the biggest influence for the song was The Devil Went Down To Georgia which was originally performed by the Charlie Daniels Band." So yes you are correct. Tenacious D on Tribute

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Hey guys, Happy New Year. If ever there was a year for "out with the old and in with the new" this was it. Charlie was a legend. He was an accomplished musician. He played fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin and bass. He primarily played guitar for a number of years. He was working on his ranch back in the early 80s (I believe), digging holes for new fence posts. His shirt sleeve got caught up in the power auger and broke 2 of his fingers and his arm in 3 places. He was out of action for several months. When he was ready to go back to work, he was still having some trouble with the guitar due to his hand, so he started playing more fiddle. The rest as they say is history. He has been a sought after studio musician for many years as well as his performing. He played guitar and bass on a couple of Bob Dylan's albums back in the day and also played on a Leonard Cohen album. Years after that he played fiddle on a Hank Williams Jr. album and several others as well. He is in several Halls of Fame as a musician and as a performer. He sadly passed this past year at 83 years old. There are so many great songs from The Charlie Daniels Band. Some fun and some serious. Some with strong political statements as well. His song "Still in Saigon" is a shout out to all the Vets who suffered PTSD and other problems after their time in Viet Nam and a wakeup call to governments to provide more help for those guys. Hell of a guy and a great entertainer. Stay safe and well. Hope to see one or two of the recommendations I have sent you links to one of these days. I will keep watching either way though.

[@RoGueNavy]

There's a sequel to this song, called "The Devil Came Back to Georgia". It's set ten years after the events in this song, and the Devil wants a rematch. Johnny Cash is the narrator, Travis Tritt is the Devil and Marty Stuart is Johnny. A session musician named Mark O'Connor joins Charlie, and plays his own fiddle so fast and frantic, it's surprising the fiddle didn't catch on fire.

[@melrest3453]

It’s so funny when y’all start bobbing your heads to the music at the same time.

[@shadowfire_08]

oddly enough, my dad was really good friends with him for 45 years. I've been to a bunch of his shows growing up, RIP to a legend

[@mumuspain2086]

I recommend a band called Dropkick Murphys! They are massively underrated, and everyone knows one song of theirs because of a movie and it's far from their best song. Try Worker's Song, Kiss Me I'm ****faced, or The Rocky Road to Dublin

[@jacktupp4358]

This is also an American anthem. Come at me devil, not only will I not back down but I'll stand up to you until you cower away. Steadfast determination against the impossible odds. You're not going to kill me unless you kill me before I kill you. And if you kill me, you have my neighbor to contend with, and his neighbor beyond him. That's American grit.

Clearly, one of the best songs ever! Way back in the day I was invited to a wedding of a coworker of mine. She and I would hang out. We weren’t best friends or anything but we hung out and we had fun together anyway she was 19 she married her high school history teacher they were in love during high school, but didn’t do anything because I mean you know! Anyway, when she graduated, he asked her to marry him and this was their wedding song. This was the song they dance to and let me tell you it was fun as shit! I’ve been to a lot of weddings, and this was by far the best winning I’ve ever been to. We had a lot of fun. This is Americana!

I saw Charlie Daniels and Travis Tritt in concert (for my first time) in Oklahoma in December of 2019. Charlie was so dope and could still shred on his fiddle. He expressed his love for the USA, it’s citizens, and especially its men and women in uniform protecting our freedom and there was not one dry eye in the theater. He also saw a young boy in the front row who was dancing to the music and Charlie walked right over to him in the middle of the song and gave his bow to the boy. Pretty awesome souvenir and memory for that youngster. Now that he has suddenly passed I’m deeply saddened but also thankful that I decided to buy that ticket and drive from Texas to Oklahoma to see him perform. As I sat there just a few rows back I was amazed at how spry he was for being in his 80s. It just goes to show you that live is precious, health is paramount, and every day is a gift. RIP Charlie!

I saw him at the Santa Clara County Fair - in the summer of 1986. He was white haired by then. We were probably the second or third row of people in front of the stage, but off to the side. Sounded just as good as this recording. My first impression was - wow, he is shredding his bow - hairs were coming loose all over the place. Second - he spits when he sings - a lot. I was glad that I wasn't right in front of him. But, it was a great show! We saw the Gatlin Bros at the same show. A good time was had by all.

Rip Charlie Daniels who we lost July 6, 2020. He was a great entertainer, humanitarian & legend of southern rock music with a little bluegrass thrown in. CDB headlined the 1975 homecoming concert at Tennessee Tech where I attended university.. What a show!! I saw him several times after that. Forr those who might not know, the call outs that he does, chicken in a bread pan picking out dough, etc are old square dance call-outs. Yes, Office Bloke Dave, there is a lot of Scottish and Irish influence in the South, particularly in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. The country square dance is straight up a cousin of the highland fling and the country form of dancing called Buck dancing (and you can look both up on KZbin) is descendant of Irish line or step dancing. Tere must have been a lot of Scots that settled in and around Fairview, Tennessee. I have worked in many states & taught in a dozen schools. I've never worked with as many redheads in one place as there LOL My dad who was a musician for fun, swears that the banjo, an instrument that is used a lot in bluegrass & country music is a string version of the bagpipes and iis tuned exactly like a bagpipe including with a drone string.

Guys! You’ve got to look at Jerry Reed! He played a song called Lord, Mr. Ford. He was also gave an award by Chet Atkins (regarded as the best by many in the industry). The award was basically a recognition of his fantastic abilities on the guitar. He uses a method called the claw. He played backup on Guitar Man for Elvis. No studio musicians were able to reproduce the sounds Jerry could make. And he’s a character!
