How many of you remember Charlie Daniels and the Charlie Daniels Band? You're showing your age if you do, but it's worth breaking your anonymity for this wonderful icon of country-rock music.

Charlie Daniels has been a grassroots, country musician appearing on the hit lists for over four decades. He spent the first part of his career playing guitar and fiddle for such legendary artists as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and the Marshall Tucker Band before he became known for his own music.

Daniels began his music career as a youngster, and by the time he graduated from high school, he was proficient in several instruments including the guitar, fiddle, and ukulele.

During the 60s, he played different venues with the popular musicians of the day, but country music has always been his forte and America loves him. Despite all the attention and popularity over the years, Charlie has remained a kind and humble man.

In 2007, Charlie became a Grand Ole Opry member as a step in solidarity in his career, and in 1998, Charlie Daniels received his first music award, the Pioneer Award, from the Academy of Country Music Awards at the 33rd Annual Awards Ceremony.

In 2016, though, he received the award that country musicians die for, an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. According to the Rolling Stone, Daniels was with his longtime wife at a fake photoshoot designed to lure him to the office that day, so Sarah Trahern, CEO of the Country Music Awards could give him the amazing news. This was a monumental award in his life, and he was deeply affected by the announcement.

Daniels is known as a beer-drinking tough guy to the public, but at the announcement, he folded all his cards and tears came down his face as he thanked everyone for the award.
