      In the 1970's, The Charlie Daniels Band was considered "Southern Rock". "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" was a crossover hit, that could be heard on just about any radio station that played music. Anything from Rock to Urban, to Gospel to Country, to Adult Contemporary, etc. There was also a version which replaced the phrase, "son of a bitch" with "son of a gun", so it could be played in more sensitive markets.

    I’ve had the privilege in my life to meet more than a few music stars. Charlie Daniels is by far the nicest and most down to earth celebrity I’ve met. His entire band was so welcoming. In this case I was actually working the concert as a local stage hand. His entire group came out and ate lunch with us. He sat and talked with all of us and made us feel so important. I cried the day I heard he passed.

    I played violin for 20 years and I’m not even going to try and touch Charlie Daniels. Not only would my classically-trained self sound embarrassing trying to play fiddle, but he is just that good. Edit: strings are pretty strong; I’ve broken one during a performance, and it happens from time to time, but you’re more likely to tear up the horsehair on your bow than break a string. And then you just get the bow re-haired. :)

    The fiddle was anchored in bluegrass, and if you liked it you should look up a range of bluegrass instrumental music, including both banjo and fiddle. The genre did range outside bluegrass. Most of the devil's stuff went a bit rock/jazzy. The hero Johnny's fiddling was based on actual traditional bluegrass themes--fiddle music, square dance, that sort of thing. The chorus names some of them. "Fire on the Mountain," "Chicken in the Bread Pan," "Devil's in the House of the Risin' Sun." They're all old-timey snatches of dance and fiddle music.

    I have seen CDB in concert 4 times! Interesting fact: charlie was very hard on his fiddle bows, and would break at least one during a concert. He would have a person on stage with extra bows, and when one would break he would immediately throw it into the audience while the other guy would have another bow in the air to him at the same time. Charlie would catch it and keep on playing without hardly missing a beat. A true legend.

    Charlie Daniels is usually considered country, but with heavy southern rock influence. The strings on the fiddle are safe when he plays, but he explained that he always starts the song with a new, freshly-rosined bow, and he had a backup with a roadie, because he sometimes completely destroyed the horse-hair bow while playing Devil Went Down to Georgia.

    For some true southern rock, you've got to listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Freebird, live from Oakland in 1977 is a MUST. After that, go with Simple Man, the lyrics of which will hit you in the gut.

    Side note: It's my all time favorite song - not because of the usual reasons but because it's different. No other song sounds like it aaand it's an awesome FU. A Big Bad who thinks he has everything stacked for him, underestimating an unassuming peasant. (It's always the quiet ones.) I heard it as a young girl and it captured my attention.
