Charlie Daniels’ 1980 tale The Legend of Wooley Swamp mixed southern rock with a ghost story—greedy brothers, an old hermit named Lucius Clay, and a swamp that swallows them whole. Fueled by Daniels’ fiery fiddle and grit-edged vocals, the single became a country-rock classic, keeping his outlaw spirit alive after “Devil Went Down to Georgia.” #country | HonkyTonkin'TV
