Charlie Daniels Records Cowboy Classics For Upcoming Album

Charlie Daniels will pay homage to his favorite cowboy songs on his upcoming album, Night Hawk, which releases Aug. 26.

The project will offers a mix of classic and obscure songs, with some featuring only Daniels’ signature voice and an acoustic guitar, while others will get new instrumentation.

Night Hawk will be available for presale on Aug. 15. The first 100 copies sold will be autographed and hand-numbered by Daniels himself.

“Most of our concepts about cowboys, and all things western, are mostly derived from movies and TV. Well, the truth of the matter is, the real cowboys are not glow in the dark characters who go around fighting rustlers and cleaning out saloons with their fists. The actual working cowboy is a hard working, different breed who spend endless hours in the saddle and as Louis L’Amour said, they ‘ride for the brand.’ Night Hawk is a tribute to the working cowboy and his way of life,” said Daniels.

Daniels will become one of the newest inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame later this year, alongside Randy Travis and Fred Foster.
