Customer Reviews Full Moon is (nearly) empty Apart from The Legend of Wooley Swamp, which is a CDB classic, it's hardly representative of his best work. This is not one of Charlie's best efforts. South Sea Song has to be about the worst song he's ever recorded. It sounds like a warmed-over Jimmy Buffett track, although I doubt Jimmy would touch it. Lonesome Boy From Dixie isn't bad, but kind of cliched, as is the inferior El Toreador. No Potion For the Pain is kind of bland, and Dance Gypsy Dance is ruined by female backing harmonies that sound like Olivia Newton John. Carolina is a heartfelt track, and Money isn't bad, but In America is an example of one of Charlie's worst traits - his penchant for jingoism. Goodness in retrospect It fit the bill very well sliding right in with Lynyrd Skynrd, Molly Hatchet and the rest. Looking back this album came out during the heyday of southern rock. "Lonesome Boy From Dixie" is a very good poster child song of the era. It's a good song but also describes the times. "In America" was written in response to President Carter's ineptitude but it is still a good song. "Legend Of Wooley Swamp" is the hit on this album and it's good and worth th price if you're wondering. one of charlies best It was hard to find on disc but was glad that I could get it through . This is one of the Charlie Daniels Bands best cd's. . . . From the opening fiddle to the last guitar cries this is an outstanding mix of country and southern fried rock. Charlie blends it all together and makes this a pure listening experience. Charlie playing like only Charlie can. .
