Charlie Daniels is all Southern good-ol’-boy. His signature tall cowboy hat and belt buckle, his lifestyle on the Twin Pines, his love of horses, cowboy lore and the heroes of championship rodeo, Western movies, and Louis L'Amour novels, identify him as a Westerner. He’s the real son of a lumberjack and a Southerner by birth, his music- rock, country, bluegrass, blues, gospel - is quintessentially Southern. In fact, even his bent for all things Western is Southern. His attire, his lifestyle and his interests are historically emblematic of Southern working class. And he has survived- three decades in country music to be exact.
It hasn't been so much a style of music, but more the values reflected in several styles that has connected Charlie Daniels with millions of fans. For my family and I, we got to see first-hand the celebrated showmanship of Charlie and his long-standing team of band-mates in Virginia. It was a treat beyond expectations. Between rain, thunderstorms, wind and a whole lotta' great tunes- it was... as my ten-year old said... "the coolest concert I've ever been too!" Here are some TNS exclusive photos of his great concert.
