    The genre might be Blue Grass, country, Appalachia folk, etc. It epitomizes the blended sound of mountain music, which takes its inspirations from Irish, Scottish, and American folk and blends them all to make… this.

    • @Code9
      @Code9 Рік тому +13

      You nailed it. It's all of what you said, mixed together in the story-telling tradition of all those genres. The story itself is a takeoff on the old folk tales of the Devil making a bet with someone and if that someone fails to win the bet then the Devil gets to take the loser's soul. It's also reminiscent of the self-penned tale of blues/ragtime guitarist, Robert Johnson, who went down to the "Crossroads" to make a deal with the Devil whereby the Devil promised to make Robert into the best blues guitar player around in exchange for Robert's soul. The deal was sealed, the Devil got Robert's soul and Robert walked off into the realm of legend. Robert wrote the song back in the 1930s. It's now a classic story brought into the public consciousness by several artists, including Eric Clapton, and was made into a great little movie starring Ralph Macchio (from the "Karate Kid" films) and featuring a burning hot guitar duel between the Macchio character and the Devil (played by the fabulous Steve Vai. That explosive, dynamic, iconic scene can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/tXfZtlAPUNc/v-deo.html

    @crashstitches79 5 місяців тому +2

    This is basically an evolution of Celtic/Scots-Irish folk music from the Appalachian mountains (where the term "hillbilly" originated). It was hillbilly folk that became country eventually, which led to its mixing with the blues and r&b that spawned the original rocknroll music. This is Charlie takin it to the next level in the 70's (before hip hop, modern rock, and modern country). The Celtic boys brought the fiddle, banjo, and guitar in as an element of Americana/folk (and eventually Kentucky bluegrass) music in the 1800's, and it became iconic in the 1940's and 50's when dudes like Hank Williams brought it into the American mainstream during the first true wave of country music (called "hillbilly music" at the time).

    Charlie Daniels (RIP) was a legend. I remember when this came out. Charlie had to have a version suitable for radio play (it was the late 70s), so he said "son of a gun" instead of "son of a b----". We'd all listen closely to see if the radio station would play the sanitized version or the original. Of course we preferred the original!

    LOVED YOUR REACTION!!!❤❤ I first heard this in the late 1970's when it came out and was an instant hit! I met Charlie, and he was just a true gentleman and absolutely LOVED HIS FANS AND LOVED TO PERFORM!! He would go offstage after the last set and wait until the crowd thought he was surely gone, then rush back out on stage and do a 45 minute set!! The crowd always went NUTS OVER THAT!! Charlie's violin teacher told his parents he had no talent, so he should quit...wonder where that dude's been hidin' out...(YIKES!!!😂) Sadly Charlie has been gone for a few years now. The piano player - SO TALENTED - Taz DiGregorio was his name, sadly passed away in a terrible car accident while he was on his way to meet the band early one morning to begin a long road tour. It was raining and slippery and he lost control of his car. That was at least 15 or more years ago.
    Charlie was a storyteller, and you will find that in his music. What a talent!! WHAT A SHOWMAN!! The band wrote all of their songs, and they started out in the sixties, I believe, playing anywhere they could, and living in a van.

This song came out when I was 10 or 11 years old and it was 20 years at least from the time I first heard it on radio until I heard the uncensored version without the 'son of a gun' line he did for radio and the first singles they put out in the stores. I still remember pedaling my bicycle to the local record store just to buy the single on 45. It's country but some also categorize it as southern rock. I never cared what slot it filled it was all just good music to me. The world lost a great man and fantastic story teller and musician in 2020.

    The chorus verses are a combination of lines from two traditional bluegrass songs dating back to the 1800’s:
    1. Fire on the Mountain (Run Boys Run):
    “Fire on the mountain, run boys run;
    Sal, let me chaw your rosin some
    Fire on the mountain, run, boys, run;
    Fire on the mountain till the day is done.”
    and
    2. Chicken in the Bread Pan:
    “Chicken in the bread pan
    Picking out dough,
    "Granny, will your dog bite?"
    "No, child, no."
    "Granny, will your hen peck?"
    "No, child, no.
    Pappy cut her bill off
    A long time ago."
    The line about the Devil being in the House of the Rising Sun may have been a reference to the song of the same name. If so, it most likely is there to indicate that the Devil was about to be beaten. (The song references a brothel that was shut down in the 1800’s.)

    Hello - first time visitor to your channel and new subscriber. I loved your reaction to this barn-burnin', country-jammin' classic by the late great Charlie Daniels' band! It's great to me when I see people of different backgrounds enjoying music to them which might be new but they enjoy just the same. Keep it comin' and thanks for sharing! May God bless! 🙂

    I remember when this song came out, I was 13 in 1979 and this song was huge even on rock radio stations at that time making it sort of a crossover as it doesn't really fit rock & roll and it doesn't really fit county either especially at that time. I enjoy how the story plays out.
    I want to pass this on for anyone who doesn't know this. I learned it in a trivia game years ago.
    When "Johnny" sings:
    "Fire on the Mountain" run boys, run
    The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
    Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
    Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
    I learned that each one of those 4 lines are the name of a different song.
    "Fire on the Mountain" run boys, run ... Is a song
    The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun ... Is a song
    Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough ...Is a song
    Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no ... and this one is a song as well.
    I had no idea before that particular trivia game that he was singing about singing 4 different songs.
    Just a small nugget of info I want to pass along.
    Great song choice for a reaction.

    Great reaction. One minor pet peeve. Reactors way too often ask/wonder what genre a song is. I guess it shouldn’t annoy me… we have genres for a reason. But many songs, especially now, cross and mix genres. Country music may do it the most, as most country artists have opted for more rock-style instrumentation. “Pure” country music almost doesn’t even exist anymore. That may sound like a complaint or an insult. It isn’t. At all. It’s a compliment. Music is art. It’s creativity. There should be no boundaries defined by genres. So, it’s a great thing that artists are mixing it up. If you must know, I think most would consider this country-rock, with the sub-genre of country being bluegrass, which may be why it doesn’t quite match your perception of what country music is.
    As an aside, someone criticized you for calling it a violin. It doesn’t matter. Violin… fiddle… they’re the same, we just use the different name depending on what type of music is being played. So, you weren’t really wrong. The only reason it’s important to know for this song is because he’s literally playing the music from the Devil and Johnny’s battle. They’re having a fiddle battle and he’s playing the fiddle. If you think he’s playing the violin you might miss that point.

    this was around the time rap was starting and charlie did some rap in this song. AT the time rap wasn't it's own genre and different people were doing it. This was a big song that helped it get there and we all know about rappers delight. But, it is one of charlie daniels biggest songs ever. It's a legendary song in country and other genres of music because it was a mix of like 3 different genres and done really well.

    Bluegrass country, i believe.
    The chorus is actually a map of the battle....ie... Fire on the mountain. Run,boys,run. The devils in the house of the rising sun....etc. are all names of Bluegrass songs that are standards of that music.
