Charlie was a sweet, talented soul. This song is from 1979. I saw the band many times and have many fond memories. Thanks for playing this! RIP Charlie.
I don't listen to a lot of country, but I love this song, and always have. It's fun and energetic. It tells a great story. And, Charlie Daniels could sure light up that fiddle!
I saw Charlie Daniels in 2017 right before he died, we went just to see a legend, figured he was elderly so we weren't expecting much....let me tell you something, he came out twirling that bow jumping around all lit up it was amazing ❤
@ronileigh9336 it was very cool, I'm so grateful I got to see that 💜 it was at the Seminole Casino in Fort Myers, FL. He was so impressive it was such a good show
I've seen Charlie Daniels starting in 1977 until late in the 80s at least once a year. Open with The Tennessee Waltz and closes with The Orange Special or he did every time I saw him
You guys.... you "Loud Guys"... put a huge smile on my face! =8-D Great reaction! It's amazing how you hear a song a million times but when your with someone who's never heard and you see the amazement and wonder in their eyes and facial expressions... priceless! =;-) Loud Guys, Thank You!
Your video made me very happy. The greatest cheer came from Johnny telling the devil he has lost. The cheer went out and it brought a smile to my face.
Yes! I saw another reaction to this, and he summed it up very well, pointing out that so many songs today are filled with so much swearing that it just becomes background noise. While in a song like this something as mild as “son of a bitch” has so much more impact.
I love how he literally asked "why did the devil go down there?" He was looking for a soul to steal of course😋 this is one of those songs where i think EVERYONE in the US knows it somehow lol
I'm always amazed at how little people even in their 30s don't know about our music from the 60s and 70s. Someone sure dropped the ball on their education
yep, this song was so good the FM rock stations played it lots, too..probably one of the biggest-selling records of the year. I bet that ol Devil's still sore from that whippin' Johnny gave him! I imagine he's playing for his grandchildren on that same hickory stump, with the kids asking him to tell the story of how he got the golden fiddle-again. NO way can anyone anywhere in the world resist such a great song..I knew you'd love it big time!
The sound he gets out of that fiddle is absolutely nuts. It's so good when he hits those evil sounding notes. It's incredible. I don't even like bluegrass but this is one of the best songs ever put to wax. 1000%
Im from Georgia. Georgia is the heart of "The South". "The South" (Florida, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and the western half of Virginia) is known for rough neck people who like to try stupid things to see what happens. This song showcases the "hey bubba, hold my beer for a minute" attitude here. Betting with the devil for gold fiddle(violin) vs your soul is definitely a Southern thing to do! Not the smartest idea. LOL
The Charlie Daniels Band specialized in giving their audience a window into a specific part of the South. "The Legend of Wooley Swamp" is as expressive but in a totally different direction. That one would be a nice follow up to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia".
This is an American anthem!!!!! I have not met one person who does not love this song. Back in the 90's I had a friend who got married and this was their wedding song!
in the hands of a southerner or a Irish person a violin is a fiddle. i like the saying the diffrence between a violin and a fiddle is a violin has strings a fiddle has strangs.
1979 Saratoga, New York, far from the south and the land of country music. Remember, the fiddle was a military enlisted man's instrument, a poor man's instrument. In 1979 he had to reedit the line to make it "Son of a gun" to get the song played.
Note that learning the "fiddle" or violin, was not uncommon in the south during the 18-1900s . Often this was used in bluegrass music. Worth looking into.
Man I love this song… I listen to everything from oldies gold, to heavy metal, to skip knot and kottonmouth kings but country is my roots and will always be number one in my heart.
One of the best violinists in the world is in your own backyard, his name is Lakshminarayana Shankar (He's known in the biz as L) he played with the late great Frank Zappa and L's album Touch Me There was produced and released by Frank on his Zappa Records label, Van Morrison Did lead Vocals on the track Dead Girls Of London which L. co-wrote with Zappa.
Y'know, I fully believe you folks are genuine and open people. But your enthusiasm is so deep and your smiles are so wide, and the feeling is so infectious, it still makes you hard to believe! LOL Keep it up guys, you're fun to follow.
Charlie Daniel's has a lot of great songs that tell stories that makes you feel good at the end and he's one of the best if not the best fiddle players his music is considered country but a lot of rock n roll people love it as well👍
It’s crazy, I used to Joke that the only band I have seen love was the Charlie Daniels band like 15 or so years ago but now I’m proud I got to see them. Only band I’ve watched live since was Twenty One Pilots like last year
I have no idea where that stereotype comes from. I only own one straw, one leather, and one crush cap. And I bought custom fitted hats for my relatives for my for Christmas. They had hats but I felt two of them needed nicer hats for fun. 😅 Not joking though, most people around here just wear baseball hats, except for weirdos like me who wear "cabbie caps" or whatever else I feel like.
This came out in 1979....& to me is the First Real Rap Song! Its considered Country / Rock though....I believe it was the first song to cross over from Country to Rock! It was a huge hit! Radio stations of all music genres played this song a lot! Lol.
I saw Charlie Daniels in concert about 2003 in Tupelo, MS ya'll need to do a reaction on Simple Man & The Legend of the Woiley Swamp I really enjoyed your reaction.
The dare isn’t that Johnny will instantly die if he loses the bet, but at the time of Johnny’s impending death (as us all) his soul has already been “promised” to the devil. Great reaction 😂 It’s a really fun song of defying the perils of temptation. 😜
A fiddle starts outas a violin , but if a city boy picks it up a violin will sing. But when a country boy picks out up he makes it talk and then you have a fiddle
Hey She's one Smart Cookie! When she comments on the first cerse and compares the story to our lives of choosing the evils of this world (illuminatti Money and power she said) against your best something. LOL.
They were cheering for a curtain call usually the band will come back and play 1 more Song usually the most popular.. After resting 5-10 minutes and doing other things the band will come back and play 1 more at least... If it's a good crowd
Ancient Atlantean music reincarnated with equal surprise. There are so many others! The message in it is....we ALL are the same in one. You will feel it. No one ever mentions the musicians who spoke in music for the Atlantean world. We see some of them are still here now like us. Don't let the devil in the house with the rising sun ever win. Sun represents Son. Both as one.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
get this man his crown 👑👑👑
Charlie was a sweet, talented soul. This song is from 1979. I saw the band many times and have many fond memories. Thanks for playing this! RIP Charlie.
I was lucky enough to see him play before he died, he was 81 years old at the time I saw him and he was every bit as good as he was in this video
I'm from Georgia USA, and this our state's anthem lol! ✌️ and ❤️ Ya'll 🫂🤪🫂🇺🇸🐍
We absolutely, still wear cowboy hats and boots. Arizona here ❤
Florida here and we do too. Either barefoot or cowboy boots.
I don't listen to a lot of country, but I love this song, and always have. It's fun and energetic. It tells a great story. And, Charlie Daniels could sure light up that fiddle!
yeah RIP charlie but hank and johnny cash is good too

That is so cool it makes me smile

I saw em the year before in Arkansaw. Great Show. He never let up
I've seen Charlie Daniels starting in 1977 until late in the 80s at least once a year. Open with The Tennessee Waltz and closes with The Orange Special or he did every time I saw him
Charlie Daniels died on July 6, 2020.

Yes, it's one of those songs that just energizes you. Don't hear too many really upbeat songs with violin/fiddle.
irish music and bluegrass beg to differ.....
Gogol Bordello
If you spill expensive champagne on your instrument, it's a violin.
If you spill cheap beer on it, it's a fiddle.
A violin has "strings". A fiddle has "strangs". That's about it.
The crowds continue to cheer wanting an encore, if lucky the band will come out and play one more song.
Your video made me very happy. The greatest cheer came from Johnny telling the devil he has lost. The cheer went out and it brought a smile to my face.

It's the best line in the song. Loved the reaction!

well, these reactors get a pass.
She has such a beautiful smile.
What a great reaction!! You guys were really vibing with the song. Watching you enjoy it and get into it made me smile so hard!
That's such a fun song! I love seeing your subscribers growing so fast.

NO way can anyone anywhere in the world resist such a great song..I knew you'd love it big time!
Every time I hear it I am compelled to sing along.
If it's the censored version I still sing it uncensored.
Excellent choice man. The old rocker digs and approves of your choice. Keep rockin ya'll. Charlie was and is a true legend in all ways!👍👍🤟🤟
The sound he gets out of that fiddle is absolutely nuts. It's so good when he hits those evil sounding notes. It's incredible. I don't even like bluegrass but this is one of the best songs ever put to wax. 1000%

Gotta love Charlie Daniels Band - great pick!!!!
Dealing with the devil! 🙂
The first time I heard this song, I knew the Devil had to win, but I couldn’t believe he *lost.* In this song, the Devil ROCKS! 😈
Great reaction and love from Georgia USA 😊
This was such an amazingly fun reaction to watch!! You both are so great. New subscriber!

Charlie Daniels also joined with singer Johnny Lee for one of my favorite songs, "Cherokee Fiddle."
The greatest fiddle player to ever play the instrument.
Charlie Daniels was the best fiddle player ever. A great talent.
Loved your reaction to this song by Charlie! God Bless!!!!!
Note that learning the "fiddle" or violin, was not uncommon in the south during the 18-1900s . Often this was used in bluegrass music. Worth looking into.
That was a fun reaction. Nothing beats good story telling...
You guys make me smile that you like the music in the US.
GREAT REACTION, THANK YOU😄
Man I love this song… I listen to everything from oldies gold, to heavy metal, to skip knot and kottonmouth kings but country is my roots and will always be number one in my heart.
So how cute is this!🥰!..🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
Love your videos you two. Keep up the good videos. Appreciate you entertaining us all!
Yalls enthusiasm just tickles me ❤ Tennessee
Remember, country music will always tell a story.
My dad is a musician and he and his friends used to get together in our backyard to play music and this was one of the songs they played
Amazing reaction!!! You guys are incredible!
My two favorite CDB songs are
Long Haired Country Boy. and. The South Is Gonna Do It Again
Enjoyed watching!!! Thank you!😊
It is always good to see the devil defeated. Peace, Love!!
You two are so much fun too watch 😊😊😊😊😊😊 awesome job!

Another great song with blazing guitars, fiddles and banjo is the live version of Country Boy by Ricky Skaggs.
Phenomenal song!!!!! 🎵❤️🎶
Y'know, I fully believe you folks are genuine and open people. But your enthusiasm is so deep and your smiles are so wide, and the feeling is so infectious, it still makes you hard to believe! LOL
Keep it up guys, you're fun to follow.
Great song from my childhood. I know before i watch its good.
Charlie Daniel's has a lot of great songs that tell stories that makes you feel good at the end and he's one of the best if not the best fiddle players his music is considered country but a lot of rock n roll people love it as well👍
Hello from Cody Wyoming USA ...you're awesome keep it up
😁
GREAT REACTION!!!! Thankyou!
It’s crazy, I used to Joke that the only band I have seen love was the Charlie Daniels band like 15 or so years ago but now I’m proud I got to see them. Only band I’ve watched live since was Twenty One Pilots like last year
My husband went to India and brought me back a Punjabi that looks very similar to what you are wearing.
There are some truly great fiddle and violin players around the world BUT Charlie Daniels stands head and shoulders above them all
I love this song and enjoyed your reactions ❤️
As someone who lives in Alabama, deep in the South, Charlie Daniels looking people would be kinda rare.
All americans are in cowboy hats 😆😆 fun reaction guys, thank you.
I have no idea where that stereotype comes from. I only own one straw, one leather, and one crush cap. And I bought custom fitted hats for my relatives for my for Christmas. They had hats but I felt two of them needed nicer hats for fun. 😅
Not joking though, most people around here just wear baseball hats, except for weirdos like me who wear "cabbie caps" or whatever else I feel like.
One of the greatest fiddlers of all time.
i love the trope of the devil being a funky ass rocker lol it's the best depiction of the devil in popculture in my opinion lol
😅😅 great reaction guys ❤❤
Great reactions.
Another great live song is “Jackson Browne - The Load Out/Stay Live 1978”
I saw him around 1993 at a big bar called cowboys in Shreveport Louisiana.
I have seen them live and absolutely incredible
Great reaction!
Thank you.Really.Thank you.
Sat Sri Akal! Glad you liked this song. Try Charlie Daniels "Long Haired Country Boy" as well!
This came out in 1979....& to me is the First Real Rap Song! Its considered Country / Rock though....I believe it was the first song to cross over from Country to Rock! It was a huge hit! Radio stations of all music genres played this song a lot! Lol.
I saw Charlie Daniels in concert about 2003 in Tupelo, MS ya'll need to do a reaction on Simple Man & The Legend of the Woiley Swamp I really enjoyed your reaction.
great song
The dare isn’t that Johnny will instantly die if he loses the bet, but at the time of Johnny’s impending death (as us all) his soul has already been “promised” to the devil. Great reaction 😂 It’s a really fun song of defying the perils of temptation. 😜
Saw them in Erie Pennsylvania in the 70s at the ice house.
A fiddle starts outas a violin , but if a city boy picks it up a violin will sing. But when a country boy picks out up he makes it talk and then you have a fiddle
Hey She's one Smart Cookie! When she comments on the first cerse and compares the story to our lives of choosing the evils of this world (illuminatti Money and power she said) against your best something. LOL.
For another “high energy” story, “PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT” by MEATLOAF. Thank You both for your insights, and stay blessed!
I loi your reactions and comments ❤❤
Charlie Daniels "The Legend of Wooley Swamp "
She REALLY looks like she wants to say, “would you please just shut up”. 😆
Somebody needs to get this lady some noise suppression software. 😅
In my top 5 of "story songs".
Big hat tip to Charlie, but re-make by Primus animation is quite awesome 🤠😎❤🤙🎻🎵
This is country music leaning more toward country rock but there are several subgenres of country music.
Awesome! Next you need to react to robert plant singing sixes and sevens ❤
you should watch charlie daniels perform orange blossom special
enjoyed ur apreaciation n enthuisiusm, sry bout v world cup!, cheers frm au
Violins have strings. Fiddles have strangs . ;)
Charlie could play a fiddle.. wow so sad we lost another amazing country Icon
They were cheering for a curtain call usually the band will come back and play 1 more Song usually the most popular.. After resting 5-10 minutes and doing other things the band will come back and play 1 more at least... If it's a good crowd
You 2 picked a good 1
You should watch ' Fluffy goes to India'
Ancient Atlantean music reincarnated with equal surprise. There are so many others! The message in it is....we ALL are the same in one. You will feel it.

If that don’t get you pumped, nothing will!
I loved that you loved it❤❤
