Charlie Daniels, the Southern-rock pioneer behind “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” has died at 83
Daniels’ first musical gig was playing mandolin in a bluegrass band called the Misty Mountain Boys in the Fifties, but by the end of the decade, he was gigging around clubs in Washington, D.C., and Maryland. His band at the time, the Rockets, would change their name to the Jaguars after the success of their instrumental hit “Jaguar,” relased as a single on Epic Records, the same label for which Daniels would again record by the mid-Seventies.
In 1970, Daniels released his self-titled solo debut on Capitol Records, a collection that bridged rambling Sixties hippie-centric rock and blues with the more defined country-rock with which he would become most closely associated.
