I appreciate everyone who has watched this so far. I was just curious about a band I’ve never heard before and so many of you have shown love and dropped some great insights!! MUCH LOVE
Fort Valley huh? Tell your wife hi from a Warner Robins girl!!! ❤️
And hi to you from another USAF brat. Born in the UK and spent most of my time overseas
AFN (Armed Forces Network)
Former Navy Brat born on a Navy base in 1960 dad was a Seabee chief petty officer served 20 years and I had a blast growing up on or near a Navy base from exploring the caves and fields in Okinawa to combing the beaches on Adak island in the Bering sea
Navy brat here. Dad was career. I served a hitch. We brats know things and have seen things that our more conventionally raised brothers and sisters will will never understand.
@@higgs923 I never really had a "hometown" but considering all the places I got to live it was worth it and in the 60s & 70s we little dependents could get away with a lot more on base
My cousin played drums for Charlie Daniels band and was the original drummer on this song.
Can you confirm if he has a drumset made of gold perchance?
😮 AWESOME!
Incredible musician. That album has one of the most diverse set of musical styles since Queen. He went from progressive to jazz to country to rock and more. Every song on that album cranked.
Did you get meet them?
I like youm. You're real
I believe Charlie Daniels once said " The difference between a violin and a fiddle is that a violin has strings and a fiddle has strangs." It always made me laugh.
The real way to tell the difference is to count the number of teeth of the person playing it.
There's a slight difference, but not a big enough difference to make them to separate instruments.
A fiddle has a slightly flatter bridge to allow for grabbing two strings at once more easily.
It's done with a violin as well it's just a larger reach.
I play a fiddle (and I have all my teeth)!
A fiddle is a violin that has had beer spilled on it.
@@georgesandeehoward5015 I LOVE YOUR COMMENT !!! 🤣🤣🤣
You ought to check out " The Devil Went Down to Jamaica" if you want to have a laugh. New sub here. Great reaction.
I am a member and come back to this occasionally and I dare say this is my favorite reaction of yours.... xoxoxo
I love your raw, visceral honest reaction to a LEGEND IN AMERICAN MUSIC!!! It’s priceless!! Keep creating your music, too, BP!
I just discovered you a couple days ago. I'm a 64 year old white woman and I LOVE your show! Your open-mindedness and common sense attitudes give me reason to hope. You're not judgemental, tolerant of other opinions, not radical, and obviously bright. Keep up the good work!
💯
I am a 60 year old white woman and I enjoy your channel. I love listening to these great classics again and seeing your reaction. Priceless. I realize now that we were spoiled with great music back in the day, not so much anymore.
That my friend is the magic of Charlie Daniel’s! He defeats all genres and borders!
true, in the 80s? one of the Romanian floor gymnasts did her routine to this song
I was gonna say, country, bluegrass? That is Charlie Daniels Band. They are their own thing.
I was blessed to be born and raised where Charlie made his home outside Nashville. He did so much for our town and we loved him. He was so generous and humble. I was at the dr office at our local hospital and when i came outside hundreds of motorcycles were lining up outside the Emergency room. Charlie had passed away and the motorcycles lead his hearse to the funeral home. He was such a genuine man. He used to have rodeos at his home and helped our community so much. Mt Juliet will always remember and cherish Charlie and his family.
Summit?
@@vickiethompson9245 yes
When a song is fire, it doesn't matter what genre it is. Seeing you jump up and dance on hearing this for the first time is a real testimony to the power of fiery music. Fire is fire!
Amen!!
Also, most of the best songs take elements from a variety of genres.
Exactly, I was cheering you on when you got up. It looked like you were doing a hoe down. Lol
@@richardwilliams5821... You are 100% right .. doe-see-doe to your partner ... Grab your partner by the hand Spin them round and round and ... Round we go with a 'doe-see-doe' 😂
Charlie is/was my cousin. Still lots of relatives in the New Hanover County , N.C. area.
I will never NOT get goosebumps hearing this song and watching ol’ Charlie’s bowstrings breaking!
I love seeing folks appreciating other genres and giving respect where it’s due. He would love how blown away you are by this. Thank you for keeping it alive!! 🩷
Charlie was one of the best violin/fiddle players to ever grace the stage. His skill was UNREAL.
He certainly is, but there are other artists now, picking up where he left off and continuing the legacy of being great violin/fiddle players.
Check out Doug Kershaw. And Erik Hokkenen.
He was freaking EPIC to see live.
I say THE best! I got to see them 3 times and the last time was the year before he died and he was still playing like that with ease! It was insane!
Betcha he earned him a Golden Fiddle
I grew up "back then" and I can "spit" those lyrics today. 61 years and still rapping.
Me too!
So Fast! I always sang the chorus wrong. My, not yet, SIL told me, nicely & quietly, It goes "Chicken in the bread pan pickin out dough, granny does your dog bite? No child, no" I appreciated her stealth in the way she corrected me❤ because I didn't really know her yet!
65 yo here.Know every word...still🔥❤️
@@marshawargo7238 🤣 most people don’t get that one! Hilarious! Guess ya gotta be country!
Yep.. well not 61 but 45.
Hank… CCR… the good stuff. 😉
This was one of those songs that crossed genres…almost all radio stations were playing it…rock, country, it didn’t matter. Everyone loved it.
🎯💯
Q95 home of BOB&TOM. They play it all the time on a CLASSIC ROCK STATION with ACDC and so on....
I was in college from 2000-2004, and it was still a karaoke staple even then. Would not be surprised if it still is.
He was the original. I’m 62 and I listen to this song growing up. I love all types of music and this was one of my favourite songs.
This song - this band - is the epitome of "Southern Rock."
And the reason the crowd cheers when he says, "I told you once, you son of a 6itch. . . ."
is because they made him record "Son of a gun" for the radios to play.
Not really,, it's more of a bluegrass rock, than Southern rock...If you want the definition of "southern rock" is Lynyrd skynyrd.
This is NOT "Southern Rock". It's more "Country Pop". If you want to compare ACTUAL Southern Rock, listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, .38 Special and (of course) the progenitors of the genre, Creedence Clearwater Revival (Run Through The Jungle, Green River, Born On The Bayou, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi and Cotton Fields will get you started down that rabbit hole). Funny part is that CCR wasn't from the south, but from California
My grandma was a concert violinist but when Saturday night came, she grabbed her violin and it turned into a fiddle for her. It's all about how you can make it sing.
Sounds like my husband and your Nana would have a great time. My guy plays violin in a large orchestra but his country boy fiddle comes out on the weekends. It's fun watching him switch from a foofy classical musician to a down home fiddle player.
Itzak Perlman refers to his (Stradivadius) violin as his fiddle.
Sounds like a "Louisiana Saturday night", lol
@@baseballjustin5 Yep! My grandma was from Louisiana! She married a Canadian and moved up to Alberta, Canada in the 1930s but thank God she brought her love of music with her and gave it to all of us!!
@@baseballjustin5Bet this guy would love that one too 😺
Even though I have heard this song 100,000 times. Your reaction made it like the first time again :) Thanks BP
I second this. I'm glad he lived under a rock for the last 40 years!!!! 😁
Totally agree It was such a pleasure watching his reaction to this song
100%. I love this song but this felt fresh again! Love it!!
From Cincy, lived in Atlanta for 45 yrs.
This is like the 20th time I've watched this reaction. It cracks me up everytime. Thank you.
Charlie is smiling down from heaven watching you dancing to his song. He still gives me goose bumps
Actually According To Jesus he is dead like worm food in sheol. Do your research Annie. I studied science religion in history and sadly religions have lead millions and billions of people astray based on tradition. Not the Bible. Obviously atheism and agnosticism not the answer cuz there's no hope or future for that. So that gives us the Bible, God's word. So how can we trust it Annie? Should we just go by what other people say or tell us what we think we should know or live by or should we do a proper study of it ourselves? There is many false religions that teach many Falls things the Bible says that are like wolves in sheep's clothing ,what religion are you? Most religions teach immortality of the Soul and if you're bad you burn forever in hell. 1st John 4: 8 says:God is love. So if God is love do you really think he'd burn someone alive forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever. If you ever had a child and they made the greatest of mistakes would you hold their hand on the burner of the stove forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and burn your little child's hand over and over and over and over and over again. The thought is Ludacris and ridiculous. Hellfire is not a Bible teaching. It's not. It started in the Middle Ages for priests to make a crap pile of money from people who would lost loved ones who wanted to keep their souls out of this so-called hell so they pay crab Palace of money was called the "sale of indulgences" priest made a ton of money off of it during the Middle Ages and then it continued down to our day and now people think that this is real that people burn in hell the word hell in the Bible has two meanings Sheol and Gehenna. Sheol means that you will get a resurrection post Armageddon and gehenna or the wicked that will not and they are cut off forever doesn't mean they're going to burn in hell forever just means that they will cease to exist forever. I'm tired it's late I don't have time to explain all this s*** to you do your own research actually the best place to go is JW org. Type in the search bar whatever you want to know like why does God allow suffering etcetera
I still get goosebumps all these years later.
Ditto!
I agree!!!
Need more video less talk.
There was a crossover brand of music in the 70s and 80s known as Southern Rock. Charlie Daniels, Exile, Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, etc. broke the Country Western mold to be rock stars for a brief moment in history. Music is a great equalizer. Rap, RnB, hip hop, and rock all blended into a medley of inspiration for us children of the time. We listened to Charlie Daniels, Adam Ant, and N.W.A. all at the same beautiful moment. I feel privileged to have been a young soul in the early 80s. It was magical and we believed that anything was possible…even peace and equality on Earth. ❤
I agree!❤
Adam Ant!!
😮❤🎉
Nah, Dolly and Kenny aren’t Southern rock (though I absolutely love both of them). They’re country. Southern rockers besides your list? Little Feat, Wet Willie, ZZTop, Allman Brothers, Marshall Ticker Band, etc. Lots more!!! Being from Georgia, I got to live through it all!
Charlie Daniels and Hank Jr were the line between southern rock and country.
Yeah, and Dolly Parton is now in the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of Fame.
When you paused the video to exclaim "he can rap better than 90% of the rappers I've been hearing on the internet!" my jaw dropped. Because, you're right!
I have listened to this song countless times, and it never occurred to me that it was rap!
Thank you for that insight!
And, may I say, it was a joy watching your utter delight in the song...! ^_^
I have an uncle that's in his 70's and is a lifelong musician and he's always told me that Johnny Cash "A Boy Named Sue" is in his opinion the first "rap song".
Agreed...Felt the same way...all can say is Thank Heaven I got to see The Charlie Daniels Band a a few times in my life...This was 1 Band you knew you were never going to fall asleep on.
It’s cause most rappers hes heard are not musicians, Charlie daniels is a musician
No, THEY ARE SEXUAL PREDATORS!@@TheCrunchbite
Well, that kind of vocal style was initially called "Talking blues", wasn't it?!
So Rap is just modernized Talking blues really.
"Music is the universal language" - I could not have said it better myself - you 💯 right, bruh. ☺ This song is 🔥 🔥 🔥 - and your reactions are great. 😂
Music is my passion and has always been for my whole life. I'm 42 years old, btw. 👍
My wife got to open for him twice. He was the nicest guy and so down to earth. Great man and one hell of a musician. I got to be backstage and 20 feet from him playing this song. It was amazing. Never forget it.
Everything you said, I have heard from other people about Charlie Daniels. I've met a number of celebrities over the years through work, and to be honest, most of them acted horribly. He seems like one of the few I would have enjoyed interviewing.
I’m a black man living in Seattle; born in Winnie, Texas. Growing up, all I heard was gospel and country music. I was blessed to meet and talk to Charlie Daniels
I got to meet both Charlie's, Daniel's and pride
Crystal beach here says hello 👋
I met him in 1999 when I was 9 years old and I got his autograph. One of the things I remember most about him was he wore a lot of cologne and was super nice.
Yo, all my family is from Hampshire and Winnie. We own a lot of property in Chambers county.
Been to Winnie many times as I grew up in Orange. SETX in the House
Charlie Daniels was a LEGEND. I was blessed to see one of his last performances in Vegas. He will forever be missed
he's a great rapper
Yeah I saw him at diamond Jack's casino in Louisiana just before he died. Was lucky to see him live.
Yes, its sad he's gone. They used to play in Phoenix bars all the time, ive seen them at least 15 times.
I saw him when I was a kid. It was a music festival that also hosted Willie Nelson. That was a great show.
A bit over a decade ago a franchise I sold for did really well. That year our meet for reps was in Nashville. The company surprised us by hiring Charlie Daniels to play a private concert. The younger people there who had never heard him before were instantly won over.
Believe it or not, Im a 72 year old retired doctor in Nashville, and the CDB were all patients of mine. The nicest guys you’ve ever met. And so talented….RIP Charlie ❤
"Devil went down to Georgia" became a song that's not just a single genre song, it's a treasure of music.
No kidding! I’m a 55 yo Black dude… and I can recite this song word for word! But when he dares the devil to try again… I use a triplet word that’s a bit more vulgar… fookin LOVED this song!!!❤❤
I grew up with this in the 70's and I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to see you so lit up by this. It's okay that you are seeing it for the first time. Your reaction is wonderful to see.
Agreed! BTW One of the best songs ever created. If anyone ever tells you a violin is a weak instrument show them this!
I love country music and seeing a rapper get so stoked over Charlie Daniels is incredible
This is a STOP. EVERYTHING. masterpiece.
It is exciting to see him so excited! Great Great times!!!❤❤❤
Charlie Daniels was great in concert. He filled stadiums until he died.
Thank you for covering this one and respecting that it was a very different time. Too many today act like the past should conform to today’s standards. Screw that… let it be for what it was and love for what it was. 🥰
Nobody could play a fiddle like Charlie Daniels. I am so happy you enjoyed it!
Roy Clark is as good or better.
Allison Krause
It is my understanding that Johnny might possibly be a better fiddle player. There's no song about Charlie Daniels beating the devil in a fiddle contest.
@@DAK59 - roy clark is also one of the best guitar players dude made everything look easy
@@donoimdono2702 If it had strings, he could play it.
Charlie Daniels had an uncanny ability to not only unite the music world, but to unite us as Americans from all walks of life. I really miss him a lot.
Especially back in the early 80s. The song 'In America' was an anthem.
R.I.P the legend Charlie Daniels and his amazing band!
Violin and fiddle is the same instruments. It's the style of how it's played that determines if you call it a violin or call it a fiddle
Violin has strings fiddle had strangs
@@davidyeo8731 no one cares if you spill your beer on a fiddle 😉
That was always hella confusing to me as a non-native English speaker
The violin sings, but the fiddle dances.
often, the bridge on a violin is taller than on a fiddle - it allows the fiddle player to play multiple strings simultaneously easier
Just wanted to let you know that this reaction video is by far my most favorite of all ive watched!!! I literally watch this every morning to start my day! Your energy and authenticity makes for an awesome start to the day! Thank you!!!!!
This song crossed all genres. A first in the music industry. EVERYONE loved this song.
I went to High School in the 90s, and even the hardcore Thrash Metal kids and Spooky Goths (i.e. some of the most opinionated people you could ever meet when it comes to music) respected this jam. Most of them, anyway.
I was born and raised in East St Louis Illinois and you heard this song on Saturday mornings (in the hood mind you) when people were doing their chores.
The back story on the song that Charlie himself said in an interview, is they were recording a new album. He then realized, he didn't have a fiddle song for the album. He had the lyrics rolling in his head for a while and sat down and wrote them down on a plain piece of paper. They went into the practice studio and started rehearsing. The instrumental solo, was made up by the band as they went along. Now remember, they did not write or practice this before the day they were in the studio, it was all done THAT day. They got the tune they wanted, went into the main studio and recorded the song and put it on the album. And the rest, is history. (Someone can correct me if i'm wrong on any of this, it's from memory of the 45th anniversary interview of the song.) RIP Charlie, and thank you for all the great music you gave us.
Those were the good old days❤
Yep quite accurate to me.
Charlie Daniels was an amazing songwriter and musician. His death was a huge loss to not only country music but the music industry itself. R.I.P. Charlie
Agreed, very difficult piece to play on the violin. And at that tempo! The younger generations have no idea what great music is. Glad I grew up with the great stuff!
A very nice man. Sold him a horse, many moons ago.
Dude, your reaction made me cry! 😢 It was so genuine😊❤ So happy to see the younger generations embracing OUR music!😂 It's heartwarming 😊❤ Thanks for sharing!
The hardest lyrics to spit are " Chicken in a breadpan a pickin' out dough. Granny does your dog bite? No child, no!"🤣😂🤣😆 Please "spit" this for us when you memorize it! PLEASE😅😂
Dominique Monceanu’s floor routine to this in the Olympics had the crowd so loud it messed up other competitors performing at the same time. 🔥
People who hate on Rap/Hip Hop don’t understand the amount of skill it takes to be good at it. I’m not a fan of the majority of rap/hip hop but I do have respect for the artists who do it well. Thanks for giving this a fair shot. I love when people are introduced to amazing music.
This song was written fully in the spirit of the old-school American tall-tale tradition. If you go back and read old American folk tales like the Paul Bunyan stories, this fits right in with them. It will be a classic one day right alongside "Yankee Doodle" and "Camptown Races." They'll set it to sheet music and teach it to kids in music class.
The Jack Tales!
Blues tales of guitar Devil contests at a crossroads...
Ohhh my goodness!!! Yesss you have to move n groove when you hear this song!!! Im 45 and i saw The Charlie Daniels band in his larer year!!! I cherish thst moment. It truly is something epic!!!
The first rap song ever recorded on record was Rapper's Delight. It was released in September 1979, and was the first rap song to make the top 40. This Charlie Daniels Band song was released 3 months earlier than that. Which is funny because Charlie Daniels obviously knew nothing about rap music, most of us didn't at that time. He was just doing what he does.
This is an awesome piece of random knowledge! The next time someone tells me about how white people have no business rappin', I know what my answer will be. Technically the first ever rap song recorded is Devil Went Down to Georgia! That is, unless there's something similar among the old, old blues records (which is still possible).
Charlie probably thought of this song as something more in the vein of "talkin' blues"
The first rap song recorded was actually called Noah by The Jubilaires
@@xheralt As It Was!
@ronnix23 Blondie’s “Rapture” [1980] was the first song with rap in it to make the top ten.
I really enjoy seeing the younger generation taking pride in the older style music 💜💜💜
One of the reasons I stay up late at night, watching reaction videos, from people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, races, genders, etc etc - reacting to all types of music, is because it reminds me we are all the same. Tired of the division. I love this ish and how we can all appreciate great music!!
I feel the same.
Yup.
I used to have a boss that would come in to our district once every two or three months. They kept offering him other offices and places to work. He always refused because he said, "I like hanging out and working in here. Her Playlist is like genre whiplash and I love it." 😂
@melaniewestunfiltered sounds like my playlists lol. Ive had coworkers ask me things like how do you go from Andrés Rieu to Skynyrd to slipknot to Tim McGraw. I said it's easy if you simply love good music.
Well SAID!❤
I really enjoy that you have an open mind. You’re highly intelligent man and are willing to learn other genres. I am from Ireland, and I play guitar. I like to learn other peoples culture and music. Your family is blessed to have you as a father and Husband.
This is one of those undeniable songs. You hear it, you get pumped up. It doesn't matter who you are or what you think you like.
My mother used to blast this song to call me to the house when I was little. I'm fixin to be 53 in a few months and this man is still one of my heroes. The world lost a treasure when he passed 😢.
Your reaction was priceless by the way 😄
Yes He Was & That Reaction Was Incredible! Love When People Learn How Awesome The Masters Were!!
OMG this was such a great reaction. Your dancing and getting so pumped was such a blast to see. This has always been one of my favorite songs. Your comment about Charlie rapping is so right on, but one that never even dawned on me till you said it.
I'm a southern girl, and saw these dudes in person once. The whole freaking concert was FIRE! This is what you call country renegade music. I remember once my black neighbor had a birthday party and asked me to bring some music. This was way before rap. The partygoers were mixed races, but when we put that song on, every single one of them was yee-hawing and do-si-do-ing and having a big old time. I'm so glad you finally got to hear this.
So the answer to the question of genre is Americana
Charlie Daniels was an incredible performer. I saw him in concert in 83 in Atlantic City. He did an encore. That encore, literally, brought the house down. The song? Amazing Grace! The crowd went WILD! Now, where the concert was held---a casino showroom!!! He was an electric performer. May he rest in peace....
One of the all time greats.
He was the best!
Heart and soul!
Charlie Daniels will forever be a LEGEND. And this song made its indelible mark on the music industry. Love ❤️ this song!
Like I said, almost No recognized forn of music where this song isn't known and admired...😂 Plus, nobody played the fiddle like he did!
Forever a legend! Charlie Daniels, Willie Nelson, and so many more.
Charlie Daniel's is my favorite fiddle and violinist. This song goes way back and the best to see in person. God bless y'all! 😊❤
Growing up, my Daddy used to recite this at family gatherings like it was a poem.
Awwwww hahahaha 😂 how precious. Gotta love the older generation
Parts of that song are from a poem/song from the 1800’s popular in the Appalachian region.
I love it! My daddy was good friends with one of the band and would take me when I was a little girl up to his ranch back in the 70’s and I’d literally sit at Charlie Daniel’s knee while they were picking and I’d try to sing along. I can actually remember them working on this song. I loved it because I could actually sing the line SOB and thought I was getting away something. Lol I was their little darling. Definitely simpler days. Good memories.
this is an underrated comment I feel like!
Awesome sounds like you had some awesome memories. That was the origianal version too. They later changed it to son of a gun for radio.
An. He actually broke alot of strings while playing the fiddle
You are a very lucky woman! Thank for sharing that. I always wondered what it would be like to know him ❤
Your reaction to this song was as epic as the song itself. Love it! Charlie Daniels was one of the greats, and he outdid himself when he wrote this song. RIP Charlie!
I loved your reaction to this. I grew up in the military too but my experience was in Cuba and Okinawa. I was lucky that I was exposed to all kinds of music. My father retired in South Texas. I actually got to see them perform in Gilly’s. I love all types of music. I just turned 60 so I’ve been exposed to so much. Music is life!!!
Charlie Daniels Band was very popular in the 1970's - 1980's. They did a lot of field parties, carnivals and concerts all over the US. They frequently played in concerts with Hank Williams Jr, David Allen Coe, Walen Jennings, Stevie Ray Vahan and Lynyard Skynard, etc... They all pretty much introduced America to rockabilly.
i saw them live in 96 at the santa clara county fairgrounds.
They used to come to Charleston SC every year for our fair. It was awesome!
This is a pre-rap era song. The rap like part used to just be called "the spoken word" part of a song.
They were just as big in the nineties, some into 2000s. Last concert I ever saw with my dad before my dad passed and it was wall to wall people. That was around’96.
You're confusing Southern Rock and Rockabilly
I saw them perform this a few years before he passed. He was in his 70s. He played so hard and fast he kept breaking the bow and they’d throw him another…never missed a beat. Amazing!
This song transcended genres. We never listened to country music on the radio when I was a kid, but I heard this on the radio (rock stations) all the time when it first came out.
Thanks For Sharing The Truth!!
Yes. I was 12 years old when this came out. We had a jukebox in our lunchroom at school in junior high. This song played constantly! Love it.
I come back and watch your reaction every once in a while when I need a smile. Love that you really enjoyed this, that it surprised you and made you happy enough to dance! This is a happy place for me! So, thanks!
The coolest part about this video is that it's one of the first performances right after they released it and now it's an iconic ballad.
There's actually a sequel to this song. "The Devil Came Back to Georgia". Johnny Cash does the narration, Travis Tritt voices the Devil, Marty Stuart voices Johnny, and a session musician named Mark O'Connor joins Charlie for the fiddle parts. But where Charlie played each note, Mark plays that note, plus the ones just above and below Charlie's. He plays three notes for every one Charlie plays. It is mind-boggling.
I was gonna suggest he check this one out too. Glad someone else mentioned this one. Great tune! 👍
The second one is just as good I'm also glad that somebody else has mentioned that there's a part 2 to the song
@@DjangoStock One Of My Favorites Was When He "kicked ole green teeth in the mouth"!!
@@tonyaharmon1383Uneasy Rider
I don't like it quite as much as the original but I was gonna suggest it all the same
I saw a Charlie perform this at the Grand Ol Opry about a year before he passed. The crowd reacted the same as in this video. Absolute legend.
Charlie Daniels is 1 of the greatest and respected and loved by all older country
I'm laughing so hard watching you! I am 63 and I always say how sorry I am for young people now. It is wonderful to see you discover great music and artists!!! Keep going back man, your awesome 😊
It's a testament to how Good our music was back then, that so Many of these other music genre & young people, are putting out "First time I've ever listened to..." videos! & it's Mostly the 70's some 60's! But I've noticed there are a Lot of this type of channels! ❤ (class of 75, OMG my 50th is next year😅!!!
I am DEF NOT a country music fan, but this song is AMAZING! Loved it since childhood. 🤘
Same here. I never liked country music. But I was a screaming fan at one of their concerts when I was in high school.
Consider this: it's one of the only country songs that still gets daily air play on classic rock stations. That speaks volumes.
Its not really country it more Southern Rock
If you’re not a country fan you just haven’t heard the right country, mainly outlaw country is the best.
@@johnnyappleseed5590, liking outlaw country doesn't mean you like country music... it means you like real music. Mainstream, modern country is performed by soy-boys and wannabes, and I will NEVER be a fan of that brand of country.
As someone who grew up with this song blasting at every family cookout this makes me so happy watching you. My Mom and Uncle did an amazing 2 step to this. Brought back so many memories.
And this is why music is the equalizer...i heard this almost 50 years ago, you just now....both made me equally as joyful. Music should make you (insert verb here...smile, think, cry, laugh...) and it just did. Thank you, sweetheart, you made me, and im sure a lot of us, very happy.
When this song came out it seems like we all learned the lyrics just by listening to the story of the song. My mom was raised on classical music, but, although the lyrics weren't her style, she tolerated us singing along every time, haha. She played the violin and truly understood how impressive that was.
I love the look on your face when your just listening to Charlie sing his story, The look of excitement and wonder is just telling of how powerful a song can be.
.. This was sweet 😂 ..
I saw the Charlie Daniel's Band in concert in the 80s and I'll never forget when they played this song he completely SHREDDED at least 3 bows during that song!!
Also I believe the only difference between a violin and fiddle is just the way its played and that right there is some of the most amazing fiddle playing you'll ever see.
I saw them in the early 80's as well. The crowd was on its feet for the whole song!🤠
EXACTLY
This is an amazing song...no matter how old it is, or what you like, this song speaks to EVERYONE!
I knew Charlie for my entire life and cherish the small bits of time I got to spend with him over the years. A truly wonderful man. Rest in Peace Charlie
And that is how it's done to get the crowd into a frenzy.
I grew up and danced to the best music EVER in the 70s-80's.
I love that the younger generation is starting to listen and enjoy this music.
Amen!!
Watching someone get so hyped hearing a song I've loved for nearly 50 years is fire man. Loved your reaction to this.
Loved seeing your reaction to this! I’ve been listening to this for over 40 years and I never realized I liked rap! So glad you enjoyed this
Devil Went Down to Georgia is a classic... it was a genre crossing song that appealed to people all over the place, from all walks of life...
and that's what it's all about....
There is no best genre. There are good songs and bad songs across all genres.
Loved your opening, mate, kudos
"A rap battle with the Devil" is the perfect reaction to this song today. That's why I watch all your reactions. You nailed it!
My dad saw Charlie play this in person, and it was so intense that the strings (strangs) of his fiddle began to smoke and he threw the bow into the crowd.
Yessir his fiddle playing was on fire!
Your Dad was a smart man 😊
@@susanlawson7605 Had Great Taste!
I saw him close up at a county fair in Troy Missouri. I was sitting on a hay bail. I could see his eyes were closed when he sang
The BEST reaction to any music video EVERY. Thank you!
So, I’m 53. This is a song from my childhood. We WAILED to it when it came on…and your reaction brought tears to my eyes…to see someone else experience the joy this song brought the first time I heard it, on the radio, as a new release.❤️ Thank you for this.
I dig that. Good music transcends generations.
Yes. I felt the same. Huge smile on my face.
same!!!
I’m 57 and I had the same reaction!! I haven’t heard this song for a few years and I don’t understand why I’m crying so much!!
Right there with ya! 😊
This has got to be my favorite reaction video. Its so fun to just always have heard a song and take it for granted. Then have someone remind you how amazing it is.
This is also why many people like old country and bluegrass music because many of the songs told stories. It wasn’t just dance and country sounding pop like today’s “country”. Some people think it’s all sad and heartache, but if you listen to the stories, many of them tell of walking through tough times and coming out better.
The more I listen (hated it when I was young) the more I think it's white man's blues. I mean po' white & po' black don't have much difference in lifestyle except there won't be 🎶 "Strange Fruit" 🎶 coming from the po' white neighbourhood (& everything associated with that) and great-grandma wouldn't have been born a slave. Probably.
If you haven't already, look up Billy Strings. He's the CD but with guitar instead of fiddle
I turned 48 in August. I saw Charlie perform in Sunrise FL when I was 5 years old and got to meet him in the back of the music theater by his bus. My aunts husband at the time was about 6 foot 3 had me on his shoulders when Charlie came out. He took me off my uncle’s shoulders I had a Charlie Daniels Band hat on he then autographed the hat and gave me a big hillbilly hug. He was a great entertainer and is a legend. I will never forget him for taking the time to do what he did that night. RIP Charlie Daniels
That's some nostalgia right there. He was one of my Dad's favorites. Commonly referred to as outlaw country. He was a beast on the fiddle
Same here my Dad loved his country music
Outlaw Country! Live that!😁
Absolutely outlaw country but it crosses so many genres!
This was my dad's favorite too, then that whole album became my favorite at 4 years old. Made me tear up thinking about my dad.
But This Song Was Southern Rock!!
It doesn't get any better than this. I was raised on this music. It is amazing what an old country boy artist can do with a fiddle. Charlie Daniels could make it talk and I doubt he ever had a music lesson. RIP Charlie and thank you for your music even my grandchildren can enjoy.
I saw him in 2019 and at 83 years old he had AMAZING stage presence and energy!!
I love how this host loved Charlie Daniels' country/fiddle performance, and even gets up and starts dancing. Yes, we all should be more open minded - music is what heals and moves us all. Thanks so much for video. It made my day.
Every once in a while, a song gets made that transcends genre's, is an instant classic. This is one of those songs. Music breaks barriers, be it through music & dance, or powerful lyrics that everybody can relate & identify with.
This song is a treasure, because it's among an exclusive collection in the history of music!🎉 Few songs reach this level..
Facts.
@@Harley46835 Perfectly Said!!
Its hard to believe that this masterpiece is almost 50 yrs old. Sounds just as good now as it did then!!
This is COUNTRY son! Charlie was a Country legend!
First time watcher here. Really liked your reaction. I have loved this song my whole life.
Essentialy with this song, her mama did what she HAD to do so that Fancy could survive. In those days for rural America, people were so poor that they would literally starve to death in their homes. This was her chance to break out and make ANYTHING of herself.
The Charlie Daniels Band was at the height of their popularity when they released this one. As you can see, it was the final song they played in their set that night, which the crowd was waiting for. Loved it then, love it still, and I'm actually a huge fan of Metallica, all the way back to 1984 when I saw them live. Real music transcends all genres because it's something you feel, not just something you hear.
Every show that Charlie Daniels did, was just like that. There will never be another like him. May he Rest In Peace.
His was the first concert I paid my own money to attend: it was a fundraiser for Jimmy Carter held at the Fox theatre in Atlanta. As I recall, Foreigner opened.
It doesn’t matter when you find great music, as long as you find it.
Loving your reaction...Charlie Daniels Band was just awesome, that's it , no other words.
Charlie Daniels was on one of the music shows many years ago and was asked to play Devil Went Down to Georgia. He had broken his right arm and could not play his fiddle. They had to bring in TWO people to play his part. The man is an absolute LEGEND and musical genius. May he rest in peace.
There are people from EVERY genre of music like him and I am in complete awe of them all. The amount of talent it takes for these people to produce such timeless classics is truly amazing. I hope you are as inspired every time you hear something new and from a different genre as you were with this one.
Joy of music is a wonderful gift from God! Enjoy it, and be thankful that He gave it to us.
Amen ❤
I just love that no matter how much music you hear there is always something you have never heard before. All the countries in the world have their own type of music
I love when your mind is blown. This is Southern Rock at it's finest. Charlie Daniels could play anything with strings. Saw him live in 1990 and when they played this Charlie played the devils solo with EVERY stringed instrument on stage. Best concert I've ever seen. At the concert there were four kids that came in with spiked hair, mohawks, leathers, and black everything and they were dancing in the aisle when CDB played this song (much like you did in the video). Made it an epic time.
I’m so glad you enjoyed cousin Charlie’s music. It’s been 3 years since he passed. I wish you’d had a chance to attend one of his concerts. They were epic!
Agreed!
The one time I was blessed to see him, he burned the strings from the bow! Wonderful Christian Man.
I'm from Lebanon TN which is spitting distance from Mt. Juliet where Charlie lived. He did so much for his community in Middle Tennessee. I also worked at a local venue at the time called Starwood. I was there for Volunteer Jams. It was amazing. Rest in peace Mr. Charlie Daniels.
true story that
Country music 🎶 he plays a mean fiddle. RIP Charlie 🙏 i am a 54 year old woman and i love just about every musical talent. grew up listening to country from my dad and my mom was rock and roll.
I just saw you on utube and have watched 2 of your videos so far. The other was Whiskey Lullaby. I have enjoyed both. I love your reaction
