Country singer Adam Warner has a new album coming out – “What We’re Known For”. But before he lets loose of the release, Warner teases fans with the first single from the album I’m a tribute to Country Music legend Charlie Daniels with his version of “Long Haired Country Boy”.
The U.S. Marine veteran grew up in Lawrenceville, Illinois where he spent a lot of time hearing “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” star and calls him his biggest musical inspiration.
Calling himself a “bad influence”, Adam Warner is a whole lot of country and a little bit of rock and roll. Any football fan who has entered Nissan Stadium over the past four years for a Tennessee Titans game has heard Warner’s voice blasting from the speakers with “Welcome to the South”.
Warner even recorded “Long Haired Country Boy” at Capricorn Studios in Macon, Georgia; the same location where Daniels recorded the original song back in 1974.
Warner spoke on recording the song saying, “Charlie has always been a hero of mine. And one of the coolest things about music is it’s timeless, and lives on long after we’re gone. So I wanted to do my part to keep Charlie’s musical legacy living forever!” Daniels died in 2020 at tHe age of 83.
A portion of the proceeds from the song are being donated to The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project; an organization that helps to secure funding to aid veterans.
“I’m blessed and honored to support the Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project through this recording of Charlie’s classic song. So take a listen, and help support a veteran!”, said Warner.
