It's noted for a [[AwesomeMusic/{{Country}} astounding instrumental section]] with [[EpicRocking epic fiddle solos]].

* TheDevilIsALoser: After defeating {{Satan}} with ThePowerOfRock, Johnny [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu tells him off]] by saying "I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best there's ever been!"

* TheDevilIsALoser: After defeating The Devil first goes down to Georgia because he hasn't stolen a soul in a while. His challenge to Johnny is made on a flimsy pretense and he even has an entire demonic band for backup. Nevertheless, Johnny handily defeats {{Satan}} with ThePowerOfRock, Johnny ThePowerOfRock and [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu tells him off]] by saying "I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best there's ever been!"

Between 1971 and '73, Daniels released three albums under his own name: his SelfTitledAlbum, ''Te John, Grease, & Wolfman'' and ''Honey in the Rock''. However, afterwards, most of Daniels' musical output was credited under the name '''The Charlie Daniels Band'''. His first three albums were monumental, however, as they were credited for influencing a whole new musical movement; Daniels' music blurred the lines between CountryMusic, Rock & Roll and {{Blues}}, making Daniels one of the pioneers of Country Rock and SouthernRock. Daniels' Jazz influences also helped establish Progressive Country, as the CBD's blend of JazzRock, BluesRock, FolkMusic, Bluegrass and Country Rock created a kind of ProgressiveRock [[JustForFun/XMeetsY Meets Country]] sound.
