Transcript of interview with Charlie Daniels
Date published: 7/17/2008 Congratulations on your 50th year in the music industry and all your recent accolades including your Opry induction! Looking back, is there anything you’d do differently? I kind of hesitate to think that way, and since I can’t do it anyway, I just basically say let ’er roll the way it was, and I’ll just take the lessons I’ve learned and everything and kind of go with that. On the new “Deuces” album, you cover a couple of Dylan songs—having worked with him when you were coming up in Nashville, did you feel a personal connection with his songs? The songs that I did were not songs that I played on-- they were just songs that I felt were compatible with the people I did them with. I just thought it would be a good song for me and Darius to do. Other than [its being] some of my favorite Dylan stuff, I didn’t really think about it in that way—it was just songs that I felt would be good and would work—trying to find a compatible song to do a duet on is not always the easiest thing in the world- although it worked out to be fairly--not too stressful to try to do in this particular setting. So that’s basically what I was doing, I was trying to find stuff that was compatible for us to do. I played bass on most of the stuff on ‘New Morning’. I played guitar on ‘Nashville Skyline’ and ‘Self Portrait.’ We just went in the studio with Dylan and he played the songs and we’d just start chiming in and doing our own particular thing. It was very loose—when I say loose, I don’t mean loose in a sense where it was not a controlled… together sort of thing—what was going on someone there, somebody was sitting there on top of it—Bob Johnston was sitting there making sure everything went right. But as far as it being uptight by any stretch of the imagination, it was certainly not that. It was very loose in that Dylan was enjoying himself and we were all enjoying ourselves. Do you keep up with Dylan at all on a personal level?
