Charlie Daniels and emerging artist Jay Jolley met recently in Monroe, Mich. Aboard Daniels’ bus, the two began their own dialogue on Jay’s new single, “God Save Us All From Religion,” written by Daniels, Kim Williams and Doug Johnson. “It was simply amazing to meet the man who co-wrote this song that I love; the man behind the larger-than-life legend,” says Jolley. The track was originally released by The Charlie Daniels Band on their Dueces album in 2007.
