Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Charlie Daniels

CHARLIE DANIELS, 83

Died 6 July 2020

Born in Wilmington, North Carolina, and noted for his fiddle playing.  Had a huge hit with "The devil Went Down to Georgia" (#3-1979) plus that humorous "Uneasy Rider"  (#9-1973).  Other big hits:


The Souths Gonna Do It"

"Long Haired Country Boy"

"In America"

"The Legend of Wooly Swamp" 

"Still in Saigon"

One of my favorites.  Loved that hat pulled low over his face and that furious fiddle playing.  Loved it when he kicked Old Green Teeth in the knee in "Uneasy Rider."
