I had the honor of spending a day talking, singing, and playing music together at his home outside Nashville a couple years back for a Rock & Roll Road Trip. Charlie Daniels was the real deal – a great musician, singer-songwriter, and outlaw. He only played the kind of music he wanted to play, went country before country was cool. Legend, innovator, and good person. RIP.
