Charlie Daniels Band - "Caballo Diablo"

[pottergirl287]

My mom does a cover of this song on the 6-string and I grew up with that version, never actually hearing this version. I love this song!!!

[highwaterband]

Great CDB song from the 70's. Saw Charlie perform it in 1976.

Awesome guitar work.

I also like Chris's version but Charlie takes with the great guitar work.

RIP TAZ God Bless You

Charlie, I sincerely thank you for the many years of great music and entertainment that you've given us. I hope you do it for many more.

'dya think a person's opinion is all that matters to that person? I can't imagine this song being any better than the original done by the original writer (CD) some thirty + years ago but to each his own. This version is one of my top ten favorite songs of all time and that says alot because I am a huge Elvis fan.

[DREWCOPECROUCH]

chris ledoux and charlie daniles together made this song the best it could be

[curbshoppin]

my very favorite CDB song and i know who wrote it....so i do not care who sang it.....lots of people i hope

[crwfrdvllw]

Man, that must have hurt.

[Haggardlab]

I loved Chris, but this song was pure Charlie Daniels. Final. Period. End of argument! Look it up.

[kickflip1972]

its just a story ..duh

Song writer:

CHARLIE DANIELS

[hwatt1960]

Point was Charlie wrote it and made it popular.

Chris Ledoux was one hell of a person all the way around no doubt and there was no offense to him meant.. He did live the song.

But he didn't write the song, that's the point.

Settle down, I hear the ice cream truck coming up the block.

Let's hop off our high horses and get a popcicle.

I'll buy.

[rockinredneck57]

@hwatt1960 I want a fudge sicle!

[cuznjoey1976]

i got his album



[Audreysstone]

I used to fall alsleep to this song everynight when I was a kid...

[walkshe]

Charlie is a very capable horseman in his own right. I believe he has his own arena where he team ropes. Don't underestimate this big man

[crusttyboy]

So Charlie wrote it, but Chris would have had a way better chance of staying on that horse. I can't really see Charlie 'rakin' him down'.

[rockinredneck57]

@crusttyboy True. Charlie can handle a horse, but Chris was a true Rodeo Cowboy, not just a horse rider. George Strait rides and roped in a rodeo, but Chris was a bareback world champion. But Charlie is a damn good songwriter nonetheless. he makes you feel what he's singing.

[majortom2008]

Charlie Daniels wrote the song I bought the vinyl when it first came out.

[hwatt1960]

Hey girls.

CDB been playing this song way before Chris Ledoux was born.

What the fuck is a Chris Ledoux?

Kids in the sandbox always make me smile.

[rockinredneck57]

@hwatt1960 Be cool, bro. If you don't know Chris LeDoux, man you sure should. He was the real deal. A REAL cowboy and a great singer and songwriter. He was well liked in the country and southern rock circles. Chris was no spring chicken either. This came out about 77 cause I had the ALBUM when it did. So, get off your high horse and learn something before you shoot off at the mouth.

[pinkyman57]

i dont see why everyone cares they both wrote it together and they both of them had a huge hit with someone so shut up about it

[firebeaver39]

the "Chris LeDoux Cover " is a duet between charlie and chris they did a few songs together i imagine they both threw in a dip and jammed more that once

[bluezz99]

Check Charlie out on the Roy Buchanan anthology disc/first four songs are Charlie and Roy awsome stuff.............If you dont know Roy Buchanan, then listen to master of the telecaster one awsome cat. God Bless Roy an Charlie

[chrisufromaut]

salute charlie!!!!!!

[brklynjak]

Charlie Daniels wrote this song...call him and ask him....

[runnergirl4wdw]

One of the best Charlie Daniels did. I used to have the LP, wish I still had it, bob

[godlessbob]

I have the original LP and Daniels wrote it.

[Ribzypunk]

If Chris Ledoux wrote it, how come his own album, released 3 years after Charlie Daniels "version" credits Daniels as the author? From the album: Song Name: Caballo Diablo

Artist Name: Chris LeDoux

Album: Life as a Rodeo Man

Songwriter(s): Charlie Daniels

Release Date: January 1, 1975

Label: Liberty

[cobrompton]

It's one of his best, but he didn't write this song, they covered it.

[amays86]

wrong...this is a charlie daniels original. get ur facts straight.

[Ribzypunk]

@cobrompton Look at the album Life as a Rodeo man, Chris Ledoux credits Daniels. But I guess it's possible he's wrong too....

[etuoo]

@cobrompton Cobbobbin, check the facts Charlie wrote the song, Chris wrote many fine ones on his own but ole chuck can still wrtie with the best of um.. get ur head out of ur a**

[amays86]

cobrompton is not right, this isn't a cover. chris ledoux is the one that covered this song. this is a charlie daniels original.
