Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle?

[YeaTexasFight]

probably my favorite commercial on right now

 

[AstroVol]

For some reason, I die laughing near the end when he takes the bread off the guy's table and points it at him like, "you just sit down in that chair right there cause I just showed you how it's done".

 

[Hornius Emeritus]

Every time I hear that old song I think the Devil's solo is better than Johnny's. Anybody else think this?

 

[AstroVol]

Even the devil bowed his head, because he knew that he'd been beat, so I'm afraid your opinion is just like wrong man.

 

[grinder]

Great commercial! I like the Too Tall one as well, but not nearly as much.

There's no doubt he can play. Live at the Opry

 

[beaVo]

the devil's solo really kinda sucks. his band and music is what's better.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

It was okay the first 100 times I saw it. I'm ready for Charlie Daniels, Ed "Too Tall" Jones and Old Man Sutter to go away for a couple weeks - but I got a feeling it is only just starting.

 

[WooHorn]

I don't even remember what it was for, but I still re-wind it whenever I see it passing by in FF.

Charlie Daniels wrote a cool song, but he's not that good a fiddle player. That youtube was kind of painful.

Mike McGlone is good in those commercials.

I don't recall seeing him much since "Brothers McMullen" and "She's the One."

 

[Statalyzer]

I dunno, the fiddle part in that commercial doesn't seem that great compared to other fiddle solos I've heard, even though I haven't heard all that many.

 

[Third Coast]

That Dixie Chick is better than him.

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have Charlie Daniels in your band?

And I agree, the Devil's band and music were cooler, but Johnny's fiddle-playin' was superior. That's why the Devil bowed his head.

 

[Pogo]

Don't be quotin' Ala-freakin-bama in a Charlie Daniels thread, pal. Although Jeff was a decent player back in the day as well.

And F the devil for not letting the band of demons accompany Johnny. Without the backup, the devil's solo would have sucked even worse. Not only that, but Johnny can sing too. The devil probably has a ****** voice.

and of course, after a weekend of football watching, i am ready for another commercial to retire.

Charlie Daniels-not so hot. Muppets-outstanding.

I liked the Devil's solo better. Don't know anything about the fiddle, so I assume there is a good reason why Johnny won.

Doug Kershaw wannabe.

I had a somewhat different take on this commercial. When the commercial first appeared on my tv at home I was not looking at the screen and my first thought on hearing it was "That's Charlton Heston." When I finally saw the commercial I thought the actor must be lip syncing lines read by Charlton Heston in a commercial he had made before his death.

I looked up the actor's credits on IMDB ( I got his name from the postings on this thread) and found mostly tv credits, none of which I had seen. I wondered if they had gotton permission from the Heston estate to use his voice.

I am just wondering if anyone else had noticed what is to me the uncanny resemblences of their voices and speech patterns.

He was certainly mean to that bow he was using. Or is it just authority fiddling to have broken horse hairs on your bow?
