He was one of greatest storytellers in country music history

[@mikeyd6157]

Charlie Daniels live in Tennessee same county i live in but him and his wife was the nicest people you will ever ever meet... He put on a show in Nashville called the Volunteer jam he would invite all different big name country artists there to play and help Raise money for veterans, He also was always helping his community,,,, He also had a very big park he had built called Charlie Daniels park for everybody to use in his community like ball field, playground, walking trail few more things it was very nice.always helping to raise money to help people he was very nice man!!

Charlie Daniels was a GREAT musician and a FANTASTIC story teller! Just wouldn't want some of his stories to be bed time stories. 😆

[@brandonriddle4418]

That man truly was bigger than life itself! He loved God, his country, his family, and music!!!

He was a great Man an one of the best. He loved God an he loved his country. An he wasn't shy about talking both. RIP C. D.

Just watch Aaron Lewis video country boy. Charlie says all he needed to say. God bless America...

The apex of Charlie Daniels’s storytelling.

[@stephanietip]

He lived in Nashville Tennessee.People say he lived in a normal house,nothing fancy.Went to the local diner,walked around like he was just a normal guy,had a hello for everyone he met.One of the nicest people you ever wanted to meet

[@jamespauldelashmit2173]

Charlie Daniels also did a Great song called "This Ain't No Rag, It's A Flag"!!! Very PATRIOTIC!!!

[@nicholasthompson8426]

Hi 👋 from Tennessee. I was honored to be in the group of hundreds of bikers that got to escort Mr.Daniels to his a final resting place. It's an awesome video that I'd love to send you guys if you'd like to see it. He was a great artist but a better man! And it's men like him that this world needs more of. Thx for keeping his music alive.❤️

[@chriskinsley6682]

In my opinion he was one of the best country musicians of all times I was fortunate enough back in about July of last year he came to my hometown for a concert and I was lucky enough to see him.

[@snuffymanson]

I went to one of his concerts once , clear up in Washington state . In the middle of the show , all the lights went down , all instruments fell silent , and he sang Amazing Grace , solo , without any backup at all . When it ended , about 50,000 of us started stomping , and it felt like an earthquake in the Tacoma Dome .

[@cmnslcf]

Charlie was a friend, going back to Volunteer Jam in 1975. We reconnected when I brought him in for autograph sessions at Wal-Mart in Murfreesboro TN in the late 90's. He's missed.

[@FrancisPowers-ks3qg]

So glad you did this song. Charlie Daniels is a national treasure!

[@Yoshidoce2006]

Don't feel bad. Queen, Roxette, AC/DC, Charlie Daniels, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Meatloaf. All of these people have been discovered through reactions and people like you keep their legacies alive. Feel good that you are among the next generation for many of these men and women who have passed on. Freddie Mercury, Marie Fredrikkson, Johnny Cash, Waylon, and many more. Be proud.

[@user-ie2hp9sl2o]

Charlie is a true patriot one of my favorite singers sings about what he believes and how he feels hes a very talented man and can play many instrument's

[@DaveB806]

I love this song, I remember (many years ago) I would play this around the camp fire at night to scare my younger sister and nephews. Thank you so much Gitana you are AWESOME!

[@IronmanLIIII0]

New sub here, I was fortunate enough to see Charlie Daniels in concert twice in the last few years. He truly is a legend and as nice as could be in person. very humble and gracious man.

One of my favorite Charlie Daniels Band song. Kinda scared me a little listening to it as a very young boy.

Mr. Daniels was a MASTER storyteller...👴

[@william_banta_81]

Love The Legend of Wooley Swamp by Charlie Daniels! It's so sad he's gone now but he left us a unbelievable catalog of great music behind for us to enjoy & listen to for generations to come! R.I.P Charlie Daniels!!! 🇺🇸

[@musicluvr70]

OK young lady, you've got to check out Chalie and the boys telling the story of "Uneasy Rider". It's one of my favorites by him.

[@dirtyjack68]

great story song funny too

[@rickwallace8747]

why did he chew gum all the time? It’s pretty simple, to keep his mouth from drying out while he was singing or speaking, giving interviews, etc.
I cut this out of a interview with his son

[@davidphillips4476]

That would be great!!

[@patrickpost494]

Yes please!

[@musicluvr70]

PATRICK POST And after she reacts to that one, she’ll just have to react to “Uneasy Rider 88” 🤣

[@farstarsys]

I was at one of Charlie's Southern Jams in Memphis, Wet Willie had finished their set and Jerry Jeff Walker was onstage, very drunk. He was singing and playing very incoherently, down to three strings left on his guitar when Charlie appeared, the only way I can describe it is like a big friendly bear, put his arms around Jerry and quietly led him off stage. He then came back with his fiddle and finished Jerry's set. He then came back and his entire set. He earned my lifelong respect with his actions that night.
My favorite CDB song is Caballo Diablo, another great story!

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

[@timwicke2836]

Old school country tells us a story. Just close your eyes and watch the movie play out. Charlie Daniels is one. It's a lost from today

[@stephanietip]

The thing about Charlie Daniels is,he sings his songs like they are fact and that he was there when they happened.

[@beccagriffin1769]

Thank You for such a great reaction to such a LEGEND!!

Dad used to tell this as a ghost story around the camp fire. When he would get to "voice as loud as thunder" he would throw a little gas on the fire. Always scared the kids.

[@endoftheroadforge]

My senior year Charlie Daniels did a concert at my school right outside of Nashville. as I was coming from the parking lot I ran across him and said hi and asked for an autograph. He is so down to earth and a gentle soul.

Charlie was one of the original Southern Rock bands. Several Southern Rock bands are now considered country. You really should look up footage of his Volunteer Jam he'd put on every year. Amazing. Proceeds went to charity.
Charlie both speaks and sings in this one.

[@kathyyoung9539]

Wooley Swamp is in North Carolina where he grew up. Awesome Song.

[@steveg5933]

Honored to say I had the privilege to see him perform live more than a dozen times over the years. The last time just 2 years ago. Some artists over time, don't realize that they are far past their prime. I saw another band last year they went from headlining act to opening act. They played 5 songs. FIVE songs. That was 6 songs too many. Charlie Daniels NEVER suffered from that. The last time I saw him (at a free concert no less) he was as GOOD, no BETTER than the first time I saw him. As for the hug, he certainly would have given you a huge one. Something else to point out, after Bob Hope passed only two entertainers came close to the number of USO trips to visit the US troops all over the world, Robin Williams and Mr. Charlie Daniels

[@Budini67]

[@chuckcorum2137]

I have probably seen Charlie sing live more than any other act. He was always self-deprecating about his musical abilities, but I swear, he could pick up any instrument on the stage and play it. He could make you laugh and make you cry in the same song. There will never be another like him.

[@leapatterson2014]

Charlie Daniels was a force to see in concert! He was not very tall but on stage you would think he was 10' tall. We had a long weekend here in America. Labor Day is that final hoorah of summer, now we have that long wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I spent the day with my husband, his brothers and their families. We barbecued ribs, pork butts, and sausages and we had tons of sides and homemade peach cobbler for dessert. We played a hilarious game of Cards Against Humanity, and just shared tons of laughter and smiles. Now today (Tuesday) is my grandson's first day of 1st grade and he is spending the night with us so I will be taking all those 1st day of 1st grade photos because his mom has to work. Anyway, enough talking from me for now. I hope you had an amazing weekend as well. Tell Donovan hello and that I still have his mom in my prayers. I know that c-19 is a beast to recover from, I haven't forgotten your daughter I pray her knee is healing. Finally you are also in my prayers; I hated seeing you so upset regarding all those haters. You are so kind and fun and generous with your time and daily life and for people to make you so upset makes all of us who love you and your channel and what you do equally unhappy. Have a wonderful week and know that you are loved by so many of us around the world. God bless!

[@danieldawg100]

Miss Gitana, Charlie Daniels admitted years ago that he was a blood bought born again Christian, and when Jesus called “Charlie, come forth!”, Charlie was home face to face in Heaven with his Lord and personal Savior for ALL of ETERNITY😊.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Charlie belongs in every hall of fame. People don't realize how much he did in music. He was a sought after studio musician since way back. He played guitar and bass on a couple of Bob Dylan albums back in the day. Also I believe a Leonard Cohen album. He played guitar, bass, banjo and fiddle. Years ago he was building a new fence on his place and was using a post hole digger. Well the power auger got ahold of his shirt sleeve and broke his arm and really did a job on his hand. He couldn't play for several months. When he was ready to get back to work he still had some trouble playing guitar because of his right hand, but he could use a fiddle bow with it. That's when he really became famous for being a fiddle player. The rest as they say is history. Just to show you how messed up things are with what passes for country music today, there are people who sound like everyone else who become Opry members after only a year or two, I believe Charlie got invited to join after being around for 35 years. SMH. Love your reactions, and you of course. You two stay safe and well.

I have a three year old daughter, and I love watching movies like Toy Story with her, it's for the same reason. It makes it new again. I dm'ed you on Instagram by the way. I wasn't sure how you take requests. I really think you will love the video I sent you. It's Travis Tritt preforming at Charlie's funeral service. React to it or just listen to it on your own.
