Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Musician extraordinaire Charlie Daniels is best known for his foot stomping fiddle-fest, 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia,' but those who want to see the true progression of his work should check out his earlier work, particularly Fire on the Mountain. Alternately opinionated and tender, a balladeer as well as a hoe-down ring leader, Daniels effortlessly merged a variety of genres into his sound, and at the center of it all was his fiddle. His bad-ass anthem, 'The South's Gonna Do It Again,' was a live favorite, and in it Daniels's pride in his homeland stops just short of waving the Confederate flag. Its studio counterpart loses none of its energy. 'Long Haired Country Boy' also displays Daniels's storytelling finesse and his 'don't tread on me' attitude, and neither 'Trudy' nor 'King Size Rosewood Bed' have lost any of their appeal over time. --Steve Gdula

- Smokin'
This album is an insane blend of seventies country and the blues jams of the Allman Brothers Band. Even the cheesy Trudy is a gem. From the first wailing notes of Caballo Diablo to the last licks of Orange Blossom, this album is on fire! Charlie knows how to jam on the guitar and fiddle!

Rating:

- Essential Southern Rock
In this writer's opinion, CDB carried the live southern rock flag when the Allman Bros. went on a slide in the mid-70s. Sure, there were Skynyrd and MTB, and they had their own nice little grooves. But for double-drummers/ dual guitar leads/swirling B3/gritty vocals and hard rockin boogies, nothing in this era tops CDB. No Place Left to Go is one of the best southern rock anthems ever. Charlie has taken some different paths since (haven't we all?), but those were some good times.

- Daniels' break through album
CHARLIE DANIELS BEST ALBUMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON CD.

Released in 1974, this is the fourth album from the Charlie Daniels Band, and the fifth from Charlie Daniels overall. It is also the first (oldest) Daniels album that is available on CD. It is 42 minutes long and the sound quality is fairly good, but not perfect.

This was the major break through for Charlie Daniels. His previous albums hardly got any airplay, until his third album, Honey In The Rock, with Uneasy Rider. Also, the FM radio stations would play No Place To Go. I remember the first few times I heard it, and tried to figure out who the band was (Allman Brothers? Marshall Tucker? Quicksilver?).

With Fire on the Mountain, Daniels hit it big with The South's Going To Do it Again. Sort of Daniels' and southern rock's answer to Peter, Paul and Mary's, I Dig Rock and Roll Music.

- Highly Recommended
In the world of Southern Rock, this album tops the charts. Charlie Daniels does a great job blending blues, country, rock, and the wonders of the south on this album. The re-release of "Trudy" and "Georgia" are by far perfected compared to their original release on the album "Charlie Daniels". For those just getting into The Charlie Daniels Band, this album is a great place to start. A definite must for fans of Southern Rock and Country Rock.
