Details Release Date: Oct 29, 1996; Lead Performance: Charlie Daniels; Genres: Country, Reissues

Charlie Daniels was an embarrassingly inept fiddler who, as a songwriter, never recognized the line between jingoistic hokum and melodrama. But as the comprehensive three-CD set The Roots Remain from 1973 to the present shows, the Charlie Daniels Band had more fun with their country, Southern rock, and blues than anyone else of their era — including the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
