Fiddlin' Philosopher: Charlie Daniels on country music, Jesus and Hootie
Bob Ruggiero, Creative Loafing, 28 September 1996
IN A CAREER spanning over 30 years, musician Charlie Daniels has seen and done a lot. You hesitate to peg him as "country", because his musical past has included equally strong doses of rock, R&B, jazz, Southern boogie, and even gospel (the genre of his latest CD, Steel Witness [Sparrow]).
