Quick story about Charlie, years ago a friend and I went fishing in a small pond off an old back road in Mount Juliet, saw a guy coming toward us, figured this was his land and would run us off, it was Charlie Daniels, he was very nice and hospitable and ask us " if the fish were bitin?" He said, let me run get my fishing pole and I'll join you, he did, it was a cool experience, but that was Charlie, just a down to earth dude. They brought Charlie Daniels through Mount Juliet to the funeral home Monday 07/06, the streets were lined with his neighbors and fans, he was the pride and heart of Mount Juliet, Tennessee and icon there, and had been for many years! Godspeed Charlie, not only your music is your legacy, but your testimony and faith!

[@paultruskowski9147]

Nice memory I never got to meet him but I always thought he was a true gentleman. RIP Charlie

[@andyford8359]

Charlie's gone to a place where the fish always bite and the party never ends!

My husband & I drove truck for the CDB for 5 years, most wonderful man, best band on the planet! I love you Charlie! me & Frank! oxoxox

[@mikewysocki6179]

You probably blew my door off a time or 2!

[@christopherhitson136]

Goodbye to one hell of a singer. So many of my wilder days was spent listening to CDB, you will always be remembered by this ole country boy.

[@travishendrix7026]

Jamey Johnson just released " Trudy " Had to come here to hear CDB get it done. This song released the year I was born. Jamey kills it. Charlie would be tickled about it.

[@jeffreycrews155]

Charlie was so great. Rest well Charlie.

[@darrellhudson1693]

My 1st CDB album was Fire on the Mountain and Trudy is his best song ever. I was 16 that was 44 yrs ago.

[@tydodge]

I blown up 2 sets of speakers to this song.

[@MT-mi4zz]

I played this song so loud my neighbors threw a brick through my window so they could hear it better.

[@billfreise7260]

Me too

[@martinphillips6752]

Hell yes. Lyrics are badass

[@darrellhudson1693]

I was 16 when this song came out. It made me 10 foot tall and bulletproof what memories this song brings back.

[@saddletramp6935]

Met Charlie a couple of times a long time ago. One of the nicest men ever. He was a big Steeler fan till Tennessee got a team. Miss you Charlie, RIP.

[@darrellhudson1693]

I was 16 when this song came out that was 45 yrs ago . It still makes me 10 ft tall and bulletproof lol. Lot of the kids now days don't appreciate good music.

[@JaySlansky]

And a lot do. Just enjoy great music

[@uslady100]

Another Charlie story: got to see him performing at the Grainger County Tomato Festival 2016 or 2017. So I get there, crowd is huge & full of MAGA red hats except for me.. I was the only one wearing a Stetson cowboy hat... When he comes on stage he looks right at me and tipped his Stetson to this Lady!! Always say it must have been the cowboy hat! LOL love him!!

[@jeffvandagrif]

👏👏👏 thanks, Charlie !!! We'll all see you soon !

[@TheScottMasters16969]

He puts on one of the best live shows you will ever see!

[@tomburns41]

Scott Masters absolutely. Been to many of his shows. Each unique but always extremely good.

[@davidfranks3141]

I've been to 5, CDB nails it dead center each time

[@coreyfellows9420]

Seen him 3 times

[@arthurdoner5957]

Played the downtown hoedown in Detroit for, I believe, over 30 years in a row. Definitely saw him every time I went! The highlight of the show most times!

[@thomastarwater2989]

I saw the Charlie Daniels Band live in concert at the Pensacola Civic Center, and that was back in 1980. Opening for them were Johnny Lee and Mickey Gilley. They were great, but I wanted them to hurry up and get off the stage so the CDB could do their show. I was in the company of several friends, and we were in country music heaven. Saw the CBD live two more times, in 1997 and in early 2000s. He was terrific!

[@vetrawhittington7841]

Saw him in concert---what a true AMERICAN he was!!!! Saw how much respect he got when the hearse came through his home town........here's a trivia pursuit for you.......saw him in an interview several years ago.....when he was starting out he was broke----Lynryd Skynrd loaned him 1,000.00 to help him out.......he was talking about how upset he was when the Free Bird went down........I hope they are all jamming in heaven.......R.I.P. to all of those lost!!!!!

[@jasonjohnson7445]

I was fortunate enough to talk to Charlie Daniels backstage before a concert at Isleta Casino in Albuquerque (2003). He was a patriot and a Southern gentleman.

[@jerrywitaj]

No one could tell a colorful story like Charlie. One of a kind.

[@johnmoreno7664]

I heard that!! I only saw him 1-tme, but he was a "Good ole Boy!" His memory 😊🤠💓 will forever be etched in my mind..."The C.D.B..."

[@johnmoreno7664]

...I did...see 🙈 my app...

[@johnmoreno7664]

Yup, good ole boy his-self... "The C.D.B..."

This song could easily be about our friend Buck from Luling. Miss you Buck. God bless you.

Have seen Charlie and the CDB several times...My all time favorite was at the Mule Palace on Evaro hill...just north of Missoula Mt...we had our arms on the stage right in front of Charlie. He winked at me and flipped me his banjo pick!! Thank you Charlie...you are the best !! RIP sir !!

A big part of my Southern Rock life. God bless Charlie Daniels.

[@rockytopkg]

If I had to pick ONE CDB song to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be this one...followed closely by The Legend of Wooly Swamp, In America, and his tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@trudydeblois9913]

I love Charlie & he loves me...My first concert i seen was Charlie Daniels & Marshall Tucker in St Louis...Great memories, call me Charlie..

[@JackG79]

Man, I really REALLY love this song!!! I'm not particularly fond of the way they are doing it here... It's like he is rushing through it, and just talking.. it's almost like he isn't "singing" it. ... I'm sure a lot of it has to do with age.. I just have hard time accepting that one of my hero's has gotten old. Been listening to CDB for 35years!! Makes for AWESOME camping/shooting/drinking/bar hopping/boating/ATV'ing music.

[@davidfranks3141]

Best show I ever saw was in memephis in about 82, outdoor,perfect may afternoon and they started with this one,later gary Rossington came out for assistance in devil went down to mgeorgia to close the show.

[@LesBarber]

[@royhoco5748]

a lot of people can't walk and chew gum at the same time, but Charlie chews gum, plays a guitar and sings all in one.

[@garrettmb181]

I once saw Charlie Daniels moon walk while keeping a baseline on guitar, tuning his fiddle, smoking a doob, chewing gum, singing and drinking whiskey- all with a smile on his face

[@davidfranks3141]

and don't forget the fiddle

[@royhoco5748]

@@davidfranks3141 I did not forget the fiddle, it is difficult to sing while a fiddle is under your chin.

[@tigg777]

A shame that charlie daniels is not in the rrhof yet. Hopefully they will wake up and realize he deserves to be there,. a great influence to a generation of rock musicians. One of the greatest sounding live bands ever. Deservedly he has a great exhibit in the cmhof.

[@LowCountryMack]

'Trudy' never got a lot of air play but it's one of my favs for sure. We miss you Charlie but you left us with one great library. 🎻

[@slackmeister77]

Got to see him live when I was a young kid, my pop took me to a free show he was giving in Canada, blew me away. After that I got to see Willie Nelson when I was still young. Have loved these guys ever since..... today's "country music" is a bunch of crap.

There was a camera on a dolly right in front of the stage. My job at that show was to push/pull it back and forth at various speeds as directed. I remember dancing my ass off while driving that camera operator during Trudy! Is the whole show commercially available?
