Created by The Charlie Daniels Band in October 1974, the State Fair of WV is proud to announce that The Charlie Daniels Band will be joined by 38 Special and Shooter Jennings on Thursday, August 14, 2008 for Volunteer Jam 2008!

"Few individuals have symbolized the South in popular culture as directly and
indelibly as Charlie Daniels." -- Encyclopedia of Southern Culture

It hasn't been so much a style of music, but more the values consistently
reflected in several styles that has connected Charlie Daniels with millions of
fans. For decades, he has steadfastly refused to label his music as anything
other than "CDB music," music that is now sung around the fire at 4-H Club and
scout camps, helped elect an American President, and been popularized on a
variety of radio formats.

After more than two decades together, 38 Special is still playing more than 100 shows per year.  And at every one of them, thousands of audience members are completely blindsided by the power and muscle of the band's performance.

Don't let Shooter Jennings fool you.

Sure, he rocks. He's lean and wiry, with tattoos snaking up his arms – his mother's name on one, a gun on the other – and a crimson stud gleaming in one ear. He's played sold-out shows at the Viper Room and the Roxy. He's subbed for Axl Rose onstage – twice – with Guns N' Roses.

But look a little closer. Underneath that gun are the letters CBCS, for "country boy can survive." That earring turns out to be an eagle silhouette spread-winged into the letter "W" – an icon known by anyone who has listened to and loved the original outlaw, Waylon Jennings.
