Both have frontmen known for thick facial hair and iconic headwear. However, only

Taste of Country's March Bandness competition is down to the final four. Zac Brown Band, Charlie Daniels Band, Alabama and Diamond Rio remain -- only one of these bands will be declared as the greatest country band of all time.

One legend and one relative newcomer square off in this March Bandness Round 2 battle to decide the best country band of all time.

Randy Travis, Jamey Johnson, the Charlie Daniels Band and Lorrie Morgan will share the stage with living legend for what's sure to be a historic event.

Wow! Just… wow! We searched through dozens of country music's spookiest songs to find kid covers before finally discovering the Castillo family, who are apparently a trio of superstars. Their rendition of the Charlie Daniels Band hit 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' is too good to be simply called "cute." The family band owns the song.

Charlie Daniels' Twitter page is an interesting mix of football and politics. Few in country music -- maybe only one obvious singer -- have been as critical of President Obama as 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' hitmaker. In recent weeks, he's extended his scorn to the President's cabinet, including David Axelrod and Hillary Clinton...

Thompson Square and Phil Vassar are two of the artists confirmed so far for Charlie Daniels' 11th Anniversary of the Charlie Daniels Band and Friends Concert. The 2012 Christmas 4 Kids benefit will take place on Monday, Nov. 19 at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
