Free Music Review: An Unusual Body of Work
Hit: 4 Stars
Who exactly is Charlie Daniels? That's a question that can reasonable by posed whn you listen to his greatest hits package. Is he the "long-haired, hippie-type pinko..." of the hilariously funny story song "Uneasy Rider"? Or is he the conformist jingoist of "South's Gonna Do It Again" and "In America"? I suspect the truth lies somehere in the middle.In his prime, Daniels was a decent talent capable of occasional greatness, as he shows on "Rider" and his biggest hit, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Also, his far more empathetic "Still in Saigon," puts Billy Joel's overblown "Goodnight Saigon" of the same early 80s time period to shame.
Overall, an up-and-down collection with some soaring highlights.

I heard Devil went down to Georgia the other day and ran out and bought this album, It doesn't disappoint.Free Music Review: Not a True Fan's Greatest Hits
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a fine compilation, but like many other "greatest hits" albums, it has some marginal songs thrown in there that had not been previously released at the time. Songs such as Stroker's Theme and Let It Roll are "average" at best for the CDB. This album should contain classics such as Trudy and Texas instead of those. Thanks Charlie and CDB for your music.Free Music Review: Rebel Rock at its very best
Hit: 5 Stars
Almost everyone will agree that the Charlie Daniels Band is a country group, but they've had more than their share of success on the rock charts. This album will make fans of either musical genre smile and tap their toes, or maybe stomp their feet.Charlie's agressive fiddle work is the driving force behind the group's biggest hit, "The Devil Went Down to Georia." Right behind that one come's the rebellious, amusing tale of "Uneasy Rider."
The group's unabashed patriotism is featured in "In America", and their southern heritage brought forth in "The South's Gonna Do It Again." There are several other solid cuts included in the collection.
The Charlie Daniels Band - A Decade of Hits is hard-driving music that will make you want to get up and dance, or at least stand up and holler. Either way, this disc is a party waiting to happen.

My husband and I are salmon fishers in Alaska, and this selection ALWAYS revs us up and keep us going during days that are 20 hours long (actual daylight hours). We have been known to wake up the rest of the fleet by playing this selection LOUD on our CD player. IT IS A MUST FOR CHARLIE DANIEL FANS!
