This CD set should be mandatory for anyone who considers himself as true CDB aficionado. I came across this CD and bought it. I am glad that I did! I had forgotten just how much I loved Charlie Daniel's music. This set contains the great ones I use to listen to: "Uneasy Rider", "The South's Gonna Do It Again", "Trudy", Long Haired Country Boy", "High Lonesome" just to name a few, and several new ones (for me at least) that I love just as much if not even more: "Carolina (I Remember You)", "Still In Saigon", "American Farmer", "Midnight Train", "Talk To Me Fiddle"... just to name a few of these newer ones.
I was a real fan of CDB, Marshall Tucker Band, Pure Prairie League back in the day. I am defiantly going to show my grown boys what real Southern Rock n' Roll really is... Great music for the American soul!
THIS IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGE DOUBLE DISC CD OF THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND THAT I AM AWARE OF. YOU GET DISC ONE WITH 15 GREAT SONGS, AND DISC TWO WITH 15 MORE GREAT SONGS!!! THE BAND CONSISTS OF 6 MEMBERS.
THIS MUSIC IS OUTSTANDING TENNESSEE "SOUTHERN ROCK" WITH A COUNTRY FLAVOR!!! CHARLIE IS ORIGINALLY FROM NORTH CAROLINA BUT HAS LIVED IN TENNESEE MOST OF HIS CAREER.
DISC ONE HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
"THEN NOW AND UNTIL THE END" (THE ROOTS REMAIN - THIS ONE STARTS OFF WITH DIXIE AND ENDS WITH DIXIE - WHEN THE WINDS OF CHANGE AND FAD ARE GONE THE MUSIC ROOTS REMAIN!!!)
"UNEASY RIDER"
"THE SOUTH'S GONNA DO IT AGAIN"
"TRUDY"
"LONG HAIRED COUNTRY BOY"

"MIDNIGHT TRAIN"
"SIMPLE MAN" (OUTSTANDING)
"WHAT THIS WORLD NEEDS IS A FEW MORE REDNECKS" (NOT THE OLD KINDA REDNECK (WHO WAS INTOLERANT OF OTHERS, BUT THE "NEW" KINDA REDNECK - THE ONE THAT IS AN HONEST, CHRISTIAN, PATRIOTIC, WORKING MAN!!!)
"RENEGADE"
"TALK TO ME FIDDLE"
"LAYLA" (YES, THIS IS OLD DEREK & THE DOMINOS SONG, AND CHARLIE PUTS A FIDDLE FLAVOR TO IT, THIS ONE HAS BECOME A "SOUTHERN ROCK" CLASSIC TO HONOR THE LATE DUANE ALLMAN, WHO PLAYED THE DUELING GUITAR PART ON THE DEREK & DOMINO'S SONG).
"HONKY TONK AVENUE"
"PLAY ME SOME FIDDLE"
"FUNKY JUNKY"
"BOOGIE WOOGIE FIDDLE COUNTRY BLUES"
THIS IS ONE OUTSTANDING DOUBLE DISC CD PACKAGE WITH HIT AFTER HIT!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE AND THE CDB DVD (SEE MY REVEIW OF THE CDB DVD LIVE).
there's an amazing band behind this album they have traditinol fiddle music and i love alot of these songs. i went to a kalan concert and he sang devil went down to georgia and he sang it proudly i love that song. so if anyone doesnt have this album go and buy it like now!!
I think I would have liked it but CD 1 wouldn't work in any of my Cd players. Now CD 2 was great, just wished I could have heard #1. Ol'Charlie can play. It's my own fault I don't go thru all the BS to get it exchanged. Does make me think twice about buying on line. Tag,1 for their team.
