My heart is crushed today after hearing that my dear friend Charlie Daniels has passed away. Charlie was the first legendary artist to take me under his wing and encourage me when I was first getting started in the business. He was always there for me when I needed him. I have so many great memories of touring, performing, writing and recording with Charlie, but my favorite memories are of simply talking with the man when it was just the two of us alone. Farewell dear friend until we meet again. Thank you for being such a friend, mentor and inspiration to me. I will always be grateful.

CMT adds, “Daniels was a prolific recording artist and charted 34 singles on Billboard’s country chart. His Top 10 hits also include “Drinkin’ My Baby Goodbye” from 1986 and “Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues” from 1988. Other notable singles from his catalog include “Uneasy Rider,” “In America,” and “Simple Man.” Before breaking out as a country star, Daniels made a name for himself as a studio musician, in particular on Bob Dylan’s 1970 classic, Nashville Skyline.”

Daniels had another concert tour planned for later this summer.

In recent years Daniels has also become known on Twitter as an outspoken defender of Donald Trump and the GOP agenda.

Dan spoke with Daniels back in 2014 for The Big Interview. Watch a clip above.
