Charlie Daniels Band - "Reflections"

[treblejunkie]

Gaw damn. I never bought this CDB album. I had "Fire on the Mountain", "NightRider", "High Lonesome" and "Saddle Tramp". The Marshall Tucker Band's "Searchin' for a Rainbow", The Marshall Tucker Band" , "Long Hard Ride" and a couple more were excellent too. After the fukin' plane crash, I was bummed. Still listened to Skynyrd, CDB and MTB, but never bought anymore different albums. Ya CDB did a nice song, but I'm STILL gonna write a song for Ronnie, I don't care if everyone does...so?

[MrTNickelson]

Elvis----Janis---Ronnie- peace and love. cdb

I was at the show the night Charlie came out here in St. Louis and told us the "FREEBIRD" had crashed, nobody knew at the time he annouced it that any body had died. As he said "We all said a prayer before we went down to play" just killed the excitement of a CDB gig but like the pro that Charlie and that band are they kicked our asses as best as they could.. One of the Finest live acts you could ever expect to see..I'm 51 & have enjoyed CDB live well over 20 times each just as good as the 1 B 4

[bigred1260]

my father would listen to this when i was a boy hes gone know and i miss him somthing awful so here to you dad i still listen and love you rest in peace

[whatzahoo]

And Taz my buddy above all the rest, I miss you the most and I loved you the best

And now that you're gone I thank God I was blessed.....Just To Know You!

R.I.P. to ALL the Free Birds!

[skylilly1]

way back when, when I bought this album I would listen to this song over and over..it's so beatiful and sad.....I thank my 5 older siblings for MY awareness of all kinds of music.

RIP Taz

[rockinredneck57]

@Melody. Steve is correct. Original guitarist and co founding member Gary Rossington is still playing with the band. Drummer Artimus Pyle is playing with his own band. The other surviving members have passed since the 90's.

[Nikkodemis]

I was introduced to CDB back in 1979 by a childhood friend and it took a long time to fully appreciate that relevance but 20 years later that same kid had grown up and learned about the value of feel in music and this one is nothing but musical emotion for the masses who appreciate the work. Listen to the lyrics and tell me dont feel something.

[shotglasspgh]

r u kiddin? only 12000 views? No respect 4 the sacrifice of life.

[leonakita]

REFELCTIONS, WE USE TO KNOW, AND HOTEL CALIFORNIA HAVE IDENTICAL COURSE

[Gibblet62]

I always get chills when I hear this song. They never play it on the radio any more though. (?)

[cochise1100]

@Gibblet62 nashville would realize they messed up going with the watered down rock and roll they call country now!!!!

[state4600kb]

Have loved this song since first released, I remember it all:-(

[thancrow]

I saw him in concert for this LP. on the back drop they had a painting of the person each verse was about, It was a sad and poignent song, and he did it beautifully in concert.

[Clayton19651]

Great song Charlie did that doesn't get much air play anymore. Charlie worked with Elvis and most of the greats...including Johnny Cash. Great career in music.

[SuperSoggycracker]

very good song.reminds me of being little again.

[robycoss]

Good song,but very very similar to Jethro Tull song!! We used to know!!Maybe Plagio!!!

[Reaper00147]

Great song.. Thanks for the Upload. :)

[flymarvin]

What a SLOB. I Hope he dies soon.

[johng618]

@flymarvin same sentiments to you loser.

[Pancreatitis11]

I hope he out lives you:)

[captainamerica1967us]

My brother introduced me to this album in 1980, at the ripe age of 13. I still have it.  I loved this song, would love to see CDB perform it, and I'd LOVE to see someone post "Mississippi" from this same album.

[jeffrewillis]

@captainamerica1967us In the Navy in 80 my hash buddy who turned me on to this in Poway Cali,his name was Mississippi,

[Pinkypie2013]

super

[tnt9497]

a great tribute to the greats indeed!! Fly on the King , Free Bird, Janis

[whatzahoo]

October 20th has come again. 33 Years since the Free Bird fell to the ground. Reflect on your own life, make sure you don't miss heaven! I'll get to meet Ronnie one day!

[royjimi]

nice  song , thank you 73

[ritcheyrocker]

finally!!!!i just found this song last year but my dad remembered the "Ronnie my buddie, above all the rest, i miss you the most and loved you the best" part since the late 70's or early 80's when he saw charlie. R.I.P. Ronnie and the rest of the gang that followed

[dixieflsts]

Charlie lives and feels what he sings.

Charlie sings what he lives and feels.

The real deal and a great Southern American.

[planestrains96]

one of the best Charlie Daniels songs ever.

[shaun29684]

Beautiful song!

[MelodyAkatsuki]

my parents were at the concert when they announced that the Free Bird crashed and that there were no servivers... its sooo sad!

[stevejenkins1966]

there were many survivors. Only ones Killed were Ronnie Van Zant (lead vocalist), Steve Gains ( lead guitarist) cassie Gains(backup singer and Steves sister) Dean Kilpatrick (assistant Road manager) and both pilots.......

[MelodyAkatsuki]

@stevejenkins1966

no there werent, my mom said that there were no servivors what so ever

[thatsnoob2u]

@MelodyAkatsuki your mom is wrong. Gary Rossington survived, as well as Allen Collins, Artemis Pyle....Billy Collins, do I need to go on? Gary and Allen formed the Rossington Collins band after the crash. You need to check your history dude.

[eum2]

@MelodyAkatsuki Artimus Pyle, Gary Rossington, Alan Collins, Billy Powell, Dale Crantz were among the survivors.

[GeminiNightOwl]

@eum2 Dale Krantz wasn't on the plane. Cassie Gaines (sister of Steve Gaines died in Billy Powell and Artymus Piles' arms - she bled to death)

[aim2dabone]

@MelodyAkatsuki you have to do a little more research darlin'. Steve has it right. I've been a Skynyrd fan since there was Skynyrd.

[TrinaLOVEStheRIGS]

OH WOW.... MEMORIES..of life once enjoyed.... YOU ROCK..thanks so much for your vid!!

[vince065us]

R.I.P.,Elvis,Janice and Ronnie.

[Rayman3424]

"And Ronnie my buddy above all the rest

I miss you the the most and loved you the best"..my favorite line from the song

[Cynisca]

@Rayman3424

and mine......

[MrSwagman51]

@Rayman3424 mine to this is by far my favorite CDB song ever!

[liversnatch]

I can never listen to this song without getting teary eyed....

[vince065us]

@liversnatch Pass the kleenex.Me,too.

[fsybertjr]

I had this " favorited " and it got taken away from me. I'm a fellow St. Louisan, stlblair,...so thanks for posting the song,...and GO BLUES !!! ( hockey fan )

[birddoc47]

This song and "Fall of the Peacemakers" by Molly Hatchet are two of the best tribute songs I have ever heard.

[mailman32212]

@birddoc47 brickyard road is good too by johnny van zant

[GeminiNightOwl]

@birddoc47 Agreed - and many people don't know Fall of the Peacemakers because it didn't get the airplay it deserved. Phenomenal tribute song...

[kelman438]

i still have the 8 track

[jimdogcheese]

I always listen to this song right before Skynyrd's Freebird

[bengalgangster]

saw this live over 20 years ago with a video montage behind the stage very moving nicely done and a nice memory and i saw skynyrd a month before they went down music will never be like the old days enjoy the past while it lasts
