Charlie Daniels Band Album: “Tailgate Party”

This is Charlie Daniels covering some of the songs that were made famous by other bands, but he's put his own spin on it and it's very good. I've heard all ten of the tracks recorded in the studio. This album has a pretty heavy sound, but that's Charlie's trademark. This album is a rarity in the sense that CDB usually covers songs they've written themselves. There are an additional 3 live cuts that are guaranteed to be good.

This is great Southern Rock, and I saw CDB in concert and he can really play guitar besides the fiddle, and this CD he really proves that. These are not Charlie's songs (well some are)he puts his own spin on everything.

Good service and fast delivery. The four stars is because of a skip in the first song. The rest of the CD is great.

I saw the video for this cd for devil went down to georgia, and just had to buy the cd for that. I found that the rest of the cd is excelent as well. If your a Charlies Daniels fan you have to pick up this cd.

Charlie Daniels, before he became a Country Music legend, was known as a Southern Rock artist, along the lines of many of the artists he covers on this album. So the credibility is there from the start. Aside from that, the album is just meant to be a party album...nothing more, nothing less. This isn't meant to slight the idea at all. If anything, it's refreshing to see someone cut loose at a time when too many Country artists take themselves too seriously. As a student of Southern Rock, I tried not to compare CDB's versions of "Homesick", "Pride & Joy", and "Free Bird" to the originals, though many will. But that's not what it's about. It's just a jam...so have fun, turn it up, and sing along...'cause the South's Doin' It Again!
