Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
In 1979 redneck rock reached an apex with 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia,' a monster hit that reached No. 1 on the country charts and crossed over to No. 3 on the pop charts. But as this 1983 overview suggests, the Charlie Daniels Band was more than a one-hit wonder, even if the fiddle duel on 'Devil' remains their definitive moment. Only Lynyrd Skynyrd could equal the energy of their rocking mix of Southern boogie, honky-tonk, and electric blues. At 10 tracks, this set may seem a bit skimpy, and while there's no dross, some listeners will find the nascent jingoism of 'In America' and 'The South's Gonna Do It Again' hard to swallow. --Roy Kasten

- Surpassed by the "Essential" Collection
Since the CDB had hits for more than a decade, and may have even more to come, this CD leaves out too much for a fussy completist like me. The "Essential" Charlie Daniels (what happened to the "Band"?) has a couple more hits from the decade in question ("Texas" from 1976 and "Mississippi" from 1979) plus later hits "Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye", "Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues", and "Simple Man".

On the other hand, this disc is four dollars cheaper than "Essential" as of this writing. Though it's the same price, I can never recommend any of the tacky "Super Hits" CDs. All three rightly include "In America" which, while not Daniels' best song by a long shot, was a big hit absurdly left off the pricey 2-disc set also available. 3 stars for including all the best-known hits at a low price.

Based on a true story, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" remains an amazing song. 1979 suffers from ... Read More

- Charlie Danials Country ROCKS
I origonally bought the album back in 1980. I have loved it ever since. Southern Rock comes alive with Charlie Danials Rocking Tunes. A really good compliation of their work. Well worth the price to hear these Super Group Blow your Socks off !!

- Buddy Bregman on Charlie Daniels
Having been associated with Ella, Bing, Sammy Davis on many many recordings - I can't tell you how thrilled Charle Daniels makes me feel - there is something so infectious about his music - it sends chills down my spine - this album is a total winner - and I play it all the time - I don't even do that with my own recordings or any other artists material - IT IS SUCH A "FEEL-GOOD" GROUP OF SONGS AND OVER-ALL MUSIC - I can't wait to get into my car and play it again. Especially Devil Comes Down To Georgia!!!

Yeah, Charlie,

Buddy Bregman
