“I’m
extremely excited about the release of my new book, “Never Look At The
Empty Seats.” 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,” Matt Baugher the SVP and Publisher of W Publishing Group

immense talent as a singer, songwriter, and fiddle player. We’re
honored to partner with this music legend in bringing his full story to
