The Roots Remain Review

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Roots Remain is a three-disc box set covering the Charlie Daniels Band's entire career. Over the course of 45 songs, the box touches upon all of his hits -- including "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," "Long-Haired Country Boy," and "Uneasy Rider" -- plus key album tracks, B-sides, and several unreleased and rare gems, such as his take on Eric Clapton's "Layla." Roots Remain is the most comprehensive compilation of Charlie Daniels recordings ever assembled and it misses very few important tracks, making it the one definitive retrospective.
