During his 50 plus years of creating his own new definitions of music, he has scored hits on rock, country, pop and Christian charts. 'He inspired musicians to knock down the restrictive, bubble gum, three minute a side, Tin Pan Alley world that set the parameters of popular music and turn their creative minds loose in a thousand new directions.'Ĭharlie Daniels has managed to do just that. 'Whatever it was Bob Dylan meant by his lyrics, they grabbed the attention of the world and changed the face of music forever,' notes Charlie. He amply repays the debt of gratitude on this new project. 'My ambitions were to provoke some thought, to color the imagery of my songs, to think outside the box of conformity-in other words to be myself.'Ĭharlie feels the Dylan sessions not only did a lot for his confidence, but helped legitimize him in Nashville circles and beyond as a serious musician. 'It was about 50 years ago when I first became aware of Bob Dylan-and no, I was not naïve enough to think I could swim in the same stream, try to emulate what he had done, or cop his licks. His first new album project release since 2007, Off The Grid is Dylan the Daniels way and the result is sheer musical genius.

Little could Charlie Daniels have imagined in the late '60's as a young studio musician answering a call from producer Bob Johnston to add his creativity on guitar to three of Dylan's Nashville produced projects (Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait, and New Morning,) that he was on the first steps of the journey to his own destination as a musical icon. The CDB's current release is Off the Grid-Doin' It Dylan, a tribute to Bob Dylan. His signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” topped both country and pop charts, bringing him international acclaim.

Born in Wilmington, NC, he was raised on a musical diet that included Pentecostal gospel, local bluegrass bands, rhythm & blues, and country music from the radio, including Nashville’s 650 WSM. During Charlie Daniels 60 plus-year career, he has scored hits on the rock, country, pop and Christian charts and counts his awards from the Country Music Association (CMA), Academy of Country Music (ACM), TNN/Music City News Awards, and the Gospel Music Association (GMA) and among his many accolades, and in 2016, he became a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
