The CD, which allows listeners to feel like a part of the boisterous live audience, and DVD, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes interview footage with Daniels, will be available in stores nationwide and on iTunes, Amazonand everywhere digital music is sold.

Best known for their fiery fiddle-ridden No. 1 country hit, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," which was featured in the 1980 American western drama featuring John Travolta, Urban Cowboy, The Charlie Daniels Band celebrates a decorated career of multiple GRAMMY, CMA, ACM and GMA Awards, and has exceeded 20 million in sales led by his six multi-platinum albums.

On Live At Billy Bob's Texas, Daniels' characteristic Southern attitude and Wild West influences shine through on LIVE, full band versions of country favorites like "Southern Boy," "Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Long Haired Country Boy," "(What This World Needs Is) A Few More Rednecks," and 9 others, which make up the highly-anticipated October release.

Having recorded several live albums in his career, including his latest, military-centered 2007 release Live From Iraq, Charlie Daniels said, "When you record LIVE, you need to ignore the recording equipment and play for the people and that big old rowdy crowd. At Billy Bob's Texas, that was easy to do."
