Charlie Daniels Band

BIOGRAPHy

Like Texas, Charlie Daniels is partly western and partly southern. It hasn’t been so much a style of music, but more the values consistently reflected in several styles that has connected Charlie Daniels with millions. His classic, Fire on the Mountain, was propelled to double platinum status with “Long Haired Country Boy” and “The South’s Gonna Do It.” In the summer of 1979, he delivered “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” This became a platinum single, topped both country and pop charts, won a Grammy, became an international phenomenon, earned three Country Music Association trophies, became a cornerstone of the Urban Cowboy movie soundtrack and propelled Daniel’s Million Mile Reflections album to triple platinum sales. Full Moon, issued in 1980, became Charlie Daniels’ third platinum album. Simple Man (1989) is also platinum, while A Decade of Hits (1983) is triple platinum, and Windows (1982), Saddle Tramp (1976) and Midnight Wind (1977) are gold. His By the Light of the Moon: Campfire Songs & Cowboy Tunes (1997), Christmas Time Down South (1990) and Blues Hat (1997) albums added further layers to his multi-faceted style. More recently, in 2015, he released Live at Billy Bob’s Texas. Legendary Charlie Daniels continues to put on a heck of a show.
