Doubt it... The lyrics seem to be an actual fiddle duel between a guy and Satan.

I doubt it as well. The thought came to me in a dream last night. You can bet on it that sherman was called a devil and much worse.

I would love to hear the song that tribute was written about, but it's lost forever.

No. I looked at the lyrics. It does not look like a good song to me.

Wasn't The Devil Went Down to Georgia, by Charlie Daniels. a spin off of the Robert Johnson song The Cross Road Blues?

Hell yeah.

Jack and Kyle are amazing performers.

I had Wonderboy dedicated to me
at a concert in Hollywood.

It is the greatest music experience of my life.

Long live ROCK AND ROLL!

It's best to think of Charlie Daniels' "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," as a retelling of Christopher Marlowe's "The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus," for the Dukes of Hazard set.
