No Me Duella Mas," and Jamie Nichols who played on Fire On The Mountain, he played percussion- and then my friend David Dunston who played strings on "Somewhere." Also Marty O'Jeda played sax.

This album is out now but I hear you are working on another record is that right?

I am working on an album called Shake Rag, it's a collection of songs that I wrote last year in about an 8-month period. It takes in Latin and Latin Blues formats- formats that have really not been exploited, slick R & B and it is basically about every kind of Southern Music there is. Including original jazz that came from New Orleans.

Are there some of the same guys on it or new people?

These are different musicians, Barry King is playing on it. This is a funny story, everyone on it, Barry King, the bass player is Manny Yamez, and William Ellis who is a percussionist, all of these guys studied at U.T. and are from Knoxville and they all have the same kind of mind set. The record Midnight in Savannah would never have come out if it had not been for a lady named Anita Walls, she runs a company in Nashville called Masterworks and she is from Memphis. She has always told me I am from the wrong city and that I needed to be living in Memphis. On the 5, 6, and 7, of December we are going into a studio and everyone is studying the script and we will do it one take, one time like we did Midnight in Savannah.

So it is live in the studio.

Yeah, it is live in the studio. Midnight in Savannah was live in the studio. When we finally started to roll we did it in two days and solos were cut and we did it -wham, wham, and the solos were done and the first ones are usually the best. These musicians were real professionals.

What's next for you and then what's next for the Charlie Daniel's Band?

For me the next album will be Shake Rag and I have another album stuck in my brain called Pirate Moon<>/i> and a fourth one in February I want to write called Scarlett Carnival. The Charlie Daniel's Band is playing Jan. 26,
