Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always on the turntable, or on the Ultimate Twang Show. Today’s Single Of The Day gave The Charlie Daniels Band their first Country 40 appearance, albeit a brief one.
The band had already enjoyed success in the Pop and Rock fields, thanks to hit like “Uneasy Rider”, “Long Haired Country Boy”, and “The South’s Gonna Do It Again”, but “Texas” would the their first single to receive significant Country airplay. Released on the Kama Sutra label in early 1976, the single made it’s Country 40 debut in March. The single only peaked at thirty-six, but it would be the first of fourteen (fifteen, if a guest appearance on Bobby Bare’s “Willy Jones” is included) appearances on the Country 40 for Charlie Daniels, through 2001.
Your thoughts?
Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
