Charlie Daniels Band-Te John and the Wolfamn

Te John and the Wolfman
This is Charlie Daniels at his lean and basic best. It's not a bad album to listen to, considering that his previous debut album took off barely. This is the album that got his career off to a small start. It would take 2 more releases before he hit the stratosphere. For the serious CDB fan. This album is a mix of blues and country. Great Big Bunches of love, starts off the CD.  This is a rare CDB album if you can find it.  Te John, Grease, & Wolfman is a studio album by Country rock artist Charlie Daniels. The name comes from the Charlie Daniels Band members' nicknames. "Grease" was keyboardist Joel DiGregorio. Charlie Daniels was just "Charlie", sometimes, "the Fat Boy". It was released in 1972, courtesy of Kama Sutra Records.Te John, Grease, & Wolfman received three and a half stars out of five from Michael B. Smith of Allmusic.[2] Smith concludes that "Daniels rocks with the intensity of a downbound train on "Great Big Bunches of Love," and on his cover of the Jerry Lee Lewis chestnut "Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee." A true Southern poet, Charlie Daniels is seen here in the infancy of his artistic development, but even at this early stage, the poet is alive and well.".[2]
