Year/Genre: 1977 Southern Rock

Matrix #: PE 34970

Condition: VG++ very shiny 

Description: Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, The Charlie Daniels Band blended Southern rock with country fiddle-driven energy, carving a sound that defined late-1970s Americana. Midnight Wind (1977) captures the group at a transitional point, with Charlie Daniels pushing further into storytelling while retaining the rowdy edge that made them staples of the Southern rock scene. Tracks like “Midnight Wind” and “Jitterbug” show off Daniels’ trademark mix of boogie, blues, and country fiddle, a style that resonated with both rock and country audiences at a time when crossover appeal was rare. This record represents the expansion of Southern rock’s influence beyond its regional roots, making it a culturally significant addition for collectors interested in the genre’s evolution.
