[HEADING=2]Charlie Daniels Band[/HEADING]

The Charlie Daniels Band was an American country and southern rock band led by Charlie Daniels.

 

The Charlie Daniels Band was formed in 1970, with Charlie Daniels joined by Barry Barnes (guitar),

Mark Fitzgerald (bass), Fred Edwards and Gary Allen (drums), and Taz DiGregorio (keyboards).

 

They started recording southern rock-styled albums for Kama Sutra. Although a multi-instrumentalist,

Daniels was a limited vocalist, but his voice was well suited to the talking-style "Uneasy Rider", which

reached the US Top 10 in 1973. He followed it with his anthem for southern rock, "The South's Gonna Do It".
