A country-fiddle hoedown from a modern master.

  • We Say...

    Alcohol is a depressant, and country music won't let you forget that for long. That's why country records rarely throw a full-on party from start to stop — sooner or later, the whiskey-slurred ravers must slow down into a sodden sulk. But Charlie Daniels rips through even repentant boozers like "Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye," and on the rare occasion when he does shift into low gear, as on "High Lonesome," he keeps the beat steady enough for a good slow dance. Usually, though, speeds and spirits are high here, so you can keep dancing whether Charlie's spouting about regional pride ("Texas," "The South's Gonna Do It), showing off his fiddle skills ("Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues," "Talk to Me Fiddle") or, well, covering "Layla."

  • They Say...

    Charlie Daniels displays his exceptional fiddle playing in this compilation of his best fiddle songs. From the obvious inclusions like "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and "The South's Gonna Do It Again," to lesser-known romps like "Texas" and "Talk to Me Fiddle," there isn't a bad track on the disc. Daniels delivers perhaps the definitive version of the country-bluegrass "Orange Blossom Special," and downright rocks the log cabin with "Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye." An excellent collection of Tennessee mountain-inspired fiddle-sawing.
