Guide Review - Charlie Daniels Band - Tailgate Party
Included on this very southern rock flavored collection are live versions of "The Legend of Wooley Swamp" and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." With both songs being so well known and played a gazillion times, it was refreshing to hear them live and just slightly different from what we are normally accustomed to."The South's Gonna Do It Again" had an added bonus to it by having a very early on in his career performance by Keith Urban, showing us some very impressive guitar solo's. Remakes of ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" were very captivating and showed off some incredible fiddle playing by Charlie. Probably one of my most favorites was CDB's remake of the song made famous by Hootie and the Blowfish, "Let Her Cry." Charlie has always been well known for his playing but under rated for his vocals. This song shows off just how well he can deliver some very heartfelt emotions and I really enjoyed listening to this new version.
If you have ever appreciated CDB, you will really like this release. If for nothing else, the diversity of the genre's and CDB being able to add the country sound without destroying the memory of the song.
