Charlie Daniels is known for his contributions to country and southern rock music. He is perhaps best known for his number-one country hit “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” Daniels has been active as a singer since the early 1950s and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on January 24, 2008. Daniels is a singer, guitarist and fiddler who began writing and performing in the 1950s. In 1964, Daniels co-wrote "It Hurts Me" (a song which Elvis Presley recorded) with Joy Byers. He worked as a Nashville session musician, often for producer Bob Johnston, including playing electric bass on three Bob Dylan albums during 1969 and 1970, and on recordings by Leonard Cohen. Daniels recorded his first solo album, Charlie Daniels, in 1971. He produced the 1969 album by The Youngbloods, Elephant Mountain, and played the violin on "Darkness, Darkness." His first hit, the novelty song "Uneasy Rider," was from his 1973 second album, Honey in the Rock, and reached No.9 on the Billboard Hot 100. During this period, Daniels played fiddle on many of The Marshall Tucker Band's early albums: "A New Life," "Where We All Belong," "Searchin' for a Rainbow," "Long Hard Ride" and "Carolina Dreams." Daniels can be heard on the live portion of the "Where We All Belong" album, recorded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 11, 1974. Daniels won the Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance in 1979 for "The Devil Went down to Georgia," which reached #3 on the Hot 100 in September 1979. The following year, "Devil" became a major crossover success on rock radio stations after its inclusion on the soundtrack for the hit movie Urban Cowboy. Subsequent Daniels pop hits included "In America" (#11 in 1980), "The Legend of Wolley Swamp" (#31 in 1980) and "Still in Saigon" (#22 in 1982). In 1980, Daniels participated in the country music concept album "The Legend of Jesse James." For more information, visit www.charliedaniels.com. |
