Charlie Daniels' Recorded The Devil Went Down To Georgia Today Back in 1978 - Relive It With Charlie And Zac Brown

Today is a very special day in the history of both country music and music in general. On this day back in 1978, the Charlie Daniels Band recorded The Devil Went Down To Georgia at Nashville's Woodland Sound Studios. This remains one of the BEST country/country rock songs I've ever heard. Here are two fantastic versions of the song. The first is from Charlie himself performing the song live with his band back in the day, and the second is from the Zac Brown Band from this year's CMA Awards. Enjoy!

Charlie Daniels Band - In America (Live) - Veteran's Day Video Marathon

Video number 16 in our Veteran's Day Video Marathon is a live performance of the Charlie Daniels Band's In America.

Well the eagle's been flying slow and the flag's been flying low
And a lot of people are saying that America's fixing to fall
But speaking just for me and some people from Tennessee
We got a thing or two to tell you all
This lady may have stumbled but she ain't never fell
And if the Russians don't believe that they can all go straight to hell
We're gonna put her feet back on the path of righteousness
And then God bless America again

And you never did think that it ever would happen again
In America, did you?
You never did think that we'd ever get together again
Well we damn sure fooled you
We're walking real proud and we're talking real loud again in America
You never did think that it ever would happen again

From the sound up in Long Island out to San Francisco Bay
And ev'ry thing that's in between them is our home
And we may have done a little bit of fighting amongst ourselves
But you outside people best leave us alone
Cause we'll all stick together and you can take that to the bank
That's the cowboys and the hippies and the rebels and the yanks
You just go and lay your head on a Pittsburgh Steeler fan
And I think you're gonna finally understand

And you never did think that it ever would happen again
In America, did you?
You never did think that we'd ever get together again
Well we damn sure fooled you
We're walking real proud and we're talking real loud again in America
You never did think that it ever would happen again

Happy Veteran's Day!
