Know more about Charlie Daniels death.

Charlie Daniels, a member of the country and western Hall of Fame who sang “The Devil Went right down to Georgia,” recorded with Dylan and was a vocal supporter of U.S. veterans, died Monday morning after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke. He was 83.

By the time the Charlie Daniels Band topped the charts with “Devil” in 1979, the instrumentalist, singer and songwriter had long-established an interesting, multifaceted career in Nashville. As a session musician, he played on three of Bob Dylan’s albums — including the revolutionary “Nashville Skyline” — also as recordings for Starr and Leonard Cohen.

He was a fixture of the touring circuit for the subsequent 40 years, became a tireless advocate for servicemen and ladies, and entered the knowledge age together of country music’s most outspoken conservative voices.

“His music fused the immediacy of Southern rock with the classic country storytelling that he heard as a toddler,” Kyle Young, CEO of the country and western Hall of Fame and Museum, said Monday. “He brought new audiences to country and western, pointing people to the sources whilst he explored the sides .”

He is survived by his wife, Hazel; son, Charles William Daniels; and Alaya Nowling and Evan Tubb, whom Daniels considered his grandchildren.

Charlie Daniels death, Birth, Family

‘We would follow him into battle’

Born Oct. 28, 1936, in Wilmington, North Carolina, Charles Edward Daniels grew up inspired by religious music and native bluegrass bands. He listened to Nashville’s WSM and WLAC, which streamed country and R&B music from all the way from Music City to Daniels’ radio speaker in North Carolina.

Daniels merged those sounds within the mid-1950s to make rock group The Jaguars, which most notably recorded instrumental single “Jaguar,” in Fort Worth, Texas, for national distribution via Epic Records. In Texas, he’d connect with producer Bob Johnston. Bob who — years later — Daniels would credit with helping him find his way as a songwriter. He sought-after session player in Nashville.

In 1964, Daniels and Johnston co-wrote “It Hurts Me,” one cut by Presley that proved the primary victory in decades of songwriting success to return.

“(Elvis) recorded it, and it had been far and away … the most important thing that had ever happened to me in my life,” Daniels once said.

Daniels was inducted into the country and western Hall of Fame in 2016

He was closely aligned with veterans’ causes; in 2014. He co-founded The Journey Home Project, a charity dedicated to supporting veterans. He also was closely tied to the NRA, for whom he made commercials, including one calling President Obama a “fresh-faced, flower-child president [with] his weak-kneed, Ivy League friends.”

By contrast, he told NPR in 1976 that he would be “glad” to play at the inauguration ball for President Carter. Carter whom he supported. (And he did play that gig.)

Up until July 3, Daniels was posting thoughts on a neighborhood of his website entitled “Soap Box.”

Late last month, he railed against the protesters massing within the streets against police brutality. Writing: “It will dawn on you that this is often not an easy protest against the unjust killing of a Black man.  Revolutionary street battle against America and everything we represent.  It’s funded and lead by socialist factions, and it isn’t just within the US. But in many democratic nations around the world. Gun sales are through the roof and America is locked and loaded to guard their families and their neighborhoods.”
