An icon of several music styles. Rest easy Brother C,
Charlie Daniels dead
I'm certainly not a fan of country music (though some bluegrass suits my tastes) I noted with regret that:
"Charlie Daniels, the country music icon famous for performing the ubiquitous song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” died at 83 years old on July 6, according to a statement from the Country Music Association. The Tennessean reported the cause of death as a hemorrhagic stroke. He began his career in the late ’60s as a session musician in Nashville, playing guitar and bass on records by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, among others. As Daniels began releasing his own music, he also played fiddle for the Marshall Tucker Band and Hank Williams Jr. He found his biggest hit, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” in 1979, on the Charlie Daniels Band’s album Million Mile Reflections."
