Charlie Daniels’ Memoir Coming in October

Charlie Daniels is opening up about his life and career in his new memoir, Never Look at the Empty Seats, due out October 24 via the W Publishing Group. In the new book, fans will learn about Daniels’ rise from his post-Depression era childhood to becoming a Grammy winner and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee by focusing on the positives in life.

The “Devil Went Down To Georgia” singer’s career has spanned an incredible 60 years, and inside the memoir he shares stories, reflections, and rare personal photos plus offers sage advice to up-and-comers seeking a career in the music business.

“I’m extremely excited about the release of my new book. Quite a bit is known about my public life but there is so much more I’ve wanted to share, my early years, my faith, my struggles and the unique people and events which have had such an impact on who I am and what I do,” said Daniels.

“Although the phrase is at times overused, Charlie Daniels truly is a national treasure,” said Matt Baugher, SVP and Publisher of W Publishing Group. “His love for America and all it stands for is matched only by his immense talent as a singer, songwriter, and fiddle player. We’re honored to partner with this music legend in bringing his full story to the public for the first time. He’s had quite a ride.”
