PREVIOUSLY-UNRELEASED ORIGINAL LIVE RECORDINGS OF FIRST CHARLIE DANIELS VOLUNTEER JAM SET TO DROP THIS SUMMER
Nashville, Tenn. (June 23, 2022) — On October 4, 1974, country and southern rock icon Charlie Daniels held the first Volunteer Jam at the War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. Now, nearly 50 years later, the complete performance from that evening will see the light of day for the very first time. Charlie Daniels & Friends: Volunteer Jam 1 - 1974 - The Legend Begins drops on August 26, 2022, via Blue Hat Records and BFD / Audium Nashville.
The 12-track album includes live performances from The Charlie Daniels Band with special guests or “volunteer" musicians Toy Caldwell and Paul Riddle of The Marshall Tucker Band, The Allman Brothers’ Dickey Betts, and Jamie Nichol. The previously unreleased project includes “Tennessee Waltz,” “Whiskey,” “Long Haired Country Boy,” “Caballo Diablo,” “Jambalaya,” "The South's Gonna Do It (Again)," and more.
"The Volunteer Jam was a magical evening,” says Daniels’ longtime manager and Blue Hat Records president David Corlew. "There was no other event like it. There has never been and will never be. This is the first one. The beginning, where it all started. So let this first Jam be your melodic introduction to a musical legend like no other.”
