They sounded like nobody else in 1969 but soon there would be countless groups that would sound like them, many of them claiming Capricorn Records as their own. With their blend of blues, soul, jazz and rock, the Allman Brothers Band reflected the emerging New South, where cultures intermingled in ways that seemed impossible a decade prior.
Daniels himself hasn’t changed much — he was still the long haired country boy, the Charlie Daniels Band still sounded in 1988 as they did in 1978 — but the times had changed, with cultural politics falling along clear cut lines dividing the city from the country, a divide that happened in part to the proudly rebellious South Charlie created with “The South’s Gonna Do It.” The Allmans pioneered a winding, bluesy style that leant into the volume of British rock while maintaining a lithe improvisatory bent.

The music no longer shunned brawny rock production and signifiers of the South became common, including the Confederate flag’s Stars And Bars, which popped up in the logo for Alabama — a vocal group that never attempted to rock the boat — and on the roof of the General Lee, the car the Duke Brothers drove in the hit TV series the Dukes Of Hazzard, which debuted in 1979.That was the same year Charlie Daniels Band finally scored an undeniable hit in the form of “The Devil Went Down To Georgia.
