Editoral Review Soon afterward, he organized the Charlie Daniels Band and found his niche with a durable mixture of blazing Southern rock, country, and plainspoken lyrics that resonated with both pop and country fans. Nashville studio musician Charlie Daniels was 34 when he recorded his first barely noticed solo album in 1970. This 30-song retrospective, a lite version of the box set The Roots Remain, encompasses the band's work for Kama Sutra and Epic from 1973 to the early '90s. It features Daniels's first chart hit, the 1973 hippie vs. redneck novelty "Uneasy Rider," and early CDB favorites "The South's Gonna Do It Again" and "Long-Haired Country Boy. " While covering nearly every high point (his 1980 hit "In America" is one notable omission), the collection also adds obscure singles and album cuts. Daniels's Southern and blue-collar pride struck a powerful chord in people, as numbers like the Vietnam vet anthem "Still in Saigon" and "American Farmer" resonated deeply in the heartland. For those who don't need the box, this is the place to start. --Rich Kienzle .. You can see a complete list of all Charlie Daniels discography, or go back to the Charlie Daniels tabs
