Daniels, the legendary fiddler, has played and recorded with the likes of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, The Marshall Tucker Band, Hank Williams, Jr., Leonard Cohen, Pete Seeger, and Ringo Starr. His song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” won Daniels a Grammy for the Best Country vocal performance in 1979, and for several generations of Southerners, his popular hits, “Long Haired Country Boy,” and “The South's Gonna Do It Again,” are anthems to regional pride.
