anyways johnny’s part of the devil went down to georgia is one of the best fiddling portions of recorded songs of all time and the devil’s bit is just a glorified scale exercise
#johnny’s part is not only musically more interesting and engaging but it’s also steeped in a very rich folk song and fiddle tradition#whereas the devil has the accompaniment flare but very little musically interesting happening#and his fiddling is meh at best. his demons are carrying#hes lost bc he’s not actually fiddling!!!#and discounting johnny’s bit is not only just generally wrong in terms of what’s written and performed and the difficulty/complexity/origin#originality levels#but it’s also discounting a very rich tradition of folk music made by a generally underserved poor and undereducated population that carries#a lot of significant cultural weight#sorry people were saying dumb shit on the devil went down to georgia post#and i am gonna vague about it#bc that’s just fucking disrespectful#to both charlie daniels and the folk music culture in general#mak rants#charlie daniels#the charlie daniels band#the devil went down to georgia
