RIP Charlie.
Country music scribe Charlie Daniels, best known for the hit "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," has died. He was 83.
The multi-instrumentalist had a hemorrhagic stroke in Hermitage, Tennessee, and was pronounced dead Monday, his publicists said in a statement.
Daniels, a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee and Grand Ole Opry alumnus, was born in North Carolina but quickly felt at home in Nashville. He moved there and played on records with music titans Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Ringo Starr.
With the eponymous Charlie Daniels Band, he and the instrument he's most closely associated with -- the fiddle -- spearheaded a new genre of Southern rock.
His best-known hit, 1979's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," is still a staple at classic rock stations.
