Charlie Daniels Band Album: “Saddle Tramp”

If you are going to have only one CDB recording in your collection, this is the one to buy. The title cut is a soulful ballad, morphing into a classic southern rock jam, featuring the jazz influences of Taz on the keyboards, along with Tommy Crain's incredible six-string abilities. "It's My Life" shows off Charlie's unique blues vocal talent. "Dixie On My Mind" is a definitive fiddle rocker that showcases the CDB sound that was a result of the cross-breeding of early 70's rock and country. A style that swept the nation in the mid to late 70's and introduced a whole new genre of music to the mainstream. If you love southern rock, don't miss this one.

SADDLE TRAMP is another great Charlie Daniels album. It contains several great songs, including the hard-jamming title track. If you love A DECADE OF HITS, FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN, HIGH LONESOME, MILLION MILE REFLECTIONS, FULL MOON, THE LIVE RECORD, or SUPER HITS, then you'll love SADDLE TRAMP.

I bought this years ago in album form. Why? Because at that time I had people pressuring me on how to dress, who to have for friends and a host of other things to make me over into a sophisticated California girl---had just moved from a small town back east.

I heard this on the radio in my car, drove straight to the record store and bought the album. Went right home and made my well meaning "roomies" sit down and LISTEN to the words to "It's MY LIFE". Best advice that anyone could give you-------and it didn't hurt that I LOVE the Blues and this is a great little blues number.

Good music and I love that song so much I bought the CD too.

If you lived in Evergreen Colorado in the 70's I think you were required to own this album. It was one of those albums that everyone owned, everyone listened to. I purchased this album through Amazon on cd after having owned it on record, cassette, 8-track. When it arrived, I put it on and was in a time warp back to high school. Pickup trucks, warm beer, good times. There isn't a bad tune on this album. Start to finish, Charlie has the ability to paint a portrait of life in America through his songs that few artists can match. A very nice slice of Americana!

I love Charlie Daniels and his music. This is a great CD. These tunes and Charlie are as American as apple pie. I will continue to support Charlie and his true believe in the USA.
