    Charlie Daniels, Country Music Hall of Famer, Dies at 83

    Singer, songwriter and instrumentalist Charlie Daniels, whose fusion of traditional country and Southern rock made him a popular cross-genre artist during the ‘70s and ‘80s, died Monday of a hemorrhagic stroke in Hermitage, Tenn. He was 83.

    After establishing himself on the Nashville studio scene with session and touring work behind such performers as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, Daniels attracted attention as a singer and bandleader in his own right with several singles for Epic Records – “Uneasy Rider,” “The South’s Gonna Do It Again,” “Long Haired Country Boy” – that expressed kinship with the redneck rockers in the country audience.
    Sad, but 83 is not a bad length of run, imho.
    He definitely made his mark and was an extremely talented musician, singer, entertainer. -Tyr

    Saw this article yesterday, and again I mention his patriotism. He was a true American through and through. Loved this man!

    I downloaded/uploaded video to youtube as it wouldn't let me share from this site.

    But great video at the time, and much of it applies just as much today at this very moment. Charlie starts speaking around the 4:45 mark if you wanna FF.

    Rest In Peace, Charlie Daniels, Great American Patriot

    Legendary country musician Charlie Daniels passed away today in Hermitage, Tennessee after suffering a stroke at the age of 83. Many Americans knew him for his rousing country music. But he was also a great patriot, and we published his columns at CNSNews.com.

    At our MRC Gala in 2016, MRC founder and president Brent Bozell presented Charlie with the tenth annual William F. Buckley Jr. Award for Media Excellence for his passionate writing and advocacy. In his great acceptance speech, he decried declining patriotism in the United States and celebrated the beauty and treasures of our nation, heralding: “This is America, the land God blesses with everything....America the free. America the mighty. America the beautiful.
