CDB, TUCKER, ALLMANS, DICKEY, ZZ, OUTLAWS, SKYNRYD,We the people of America thank you!!! and all the other great patriotic Southern Bands out there!!!God Bless the USA!!!
If you think he is talking about politics, when he says the south is going to do it again, you must didn't really listen to the song. He is singing about southern rock. If you listen to the song you will hear, he mentioned all the great southern bands and said you can be loud and be proud.
Greetings...from a Latino immigrant...sorry but I love this music...give me Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd...and Allman Brothers..love it!!!
Charlie Daniels in the 70's was like a must have for listening to at keg parties, right next to Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Marshall Tucker, ZZ top and the like.
He's just lettin' everybody know that things are a little better in the South. The weather,music, food,accents,attitude,our debutants and southern belles. Where your from doesn't indicate how "country" you are. I do know country music evolved from the rodeo dance. If you look to those regions where rodeo began, there you'll find the purest, truest, and best country music.
That would've been something I would paid to see! Charlie and Ronnie's voices almost sound the same. Ronnie was planning to do a country duet and album with his life long favorite singer: Merle Haggard after the tour he was on that so sadly never finished.
Being as how I'm from NY, when I was a younger guy and this song was on the radio I used to ask" what do you mean do it again? The south couldn't do the first time. They lost." Well i'm older now and I've lived all over the country and I've got a lot of friends below the Mason Dixon Line and this song just sounds like a good ole memory.
"kick it in high"....GOT DANM, charlie daniels is the freaking MAN, I could listen to him talk all day long,and then the next day, etc. LOVE ya charlie!!
CDB RULES!!! Oh, Man, I can see him there with Toy Caldwell doing Blue Ridge Mountain Skies. I love you Charlie...Your Band is the tightest in the Land. Love Mr. Murray, and Taz>>>> I would do anything to go back>>>> Phal
JaySinMusicJunkie Exactly. Usually I just watch the videos. Once in a while I read the comments and it's amazing how almost any discussion of a video deteriorates into insults and profanity!
Buddy, I'm happy you appreciate CDB, but you give yourself away when you use smutty language to describe how much! I agree he is kickass but you have Southern women enjoying this. Just reminder!
I can remember the women in my mom's family swishing their dresses around and dancing to this song when the DJ played it at my aunt's wedding reception. They also did the thing where they were in a broad circle, then closed in and then backed out again.
I love Charlie Daniels music! I can't even tell you how many times I've played and sang this song! Both solo and with different bands that I've played with over the years! Uneasy Rider is another one I've played a lot! My daughter would always say "hey Dad, play old green teeth!" LOL
Growing up as a kid my living room had a live band in it I remember having to step over drunk that passed out from the night before on way to school in the morning I miss it
I think my favorite Charlie Daniels song... such a shame slavery and racism gets wrapped up in southern pride so often. Southern Pride is so much more than that!
This is from “The Ralph EmeryShow” about 1976. The show was filmed locally in Nashville and aired on our NBC affiliate. They had a lot of good guests like Waylon Jennings and others from the Outlaw Country movement from that era.
A better place in a better time. Before they tried telling us to be ashamed of who we are and our heritage. They never bothered to understand that we are proud of who we are and where we came from And that being a proud southerner means we believe in heritage not hate!
@GrandCaravanSE its about when the southern bands were emerging it was like the southern states secceeding, like its not like there saying there gonna win. but like how southern bands were coming about and getting big its like the states secceeding, the song is just be proud of who you are and dont let people keep you down because you are from the south.
The house band on "Pop Goes The Country" tried hard but they just didn't have that great fell Charlie & the CDB have when they play this. Saw them about 3 yrs ago at a local fair and still kickin ass as good as when I first saw them in 1979.
