Charlie battled the Devil himself, and won.
On December 3, 2011 Devil’s Cage will release their film. Exactly one year from Charlie’s last paying gig at the FooBar in Nashville, TN. It was a unique night, a mixed crowd of kids, elders, hippies and rockers crammed into the small venue to watch something Charlie had done for more than 60 years: Grace the stage and hit those notes. That evening, Charlie was weak off stage, but his presence was felt, and his fans chanted “Charlie, Charlie…” Leaving chills on the arms of those who knew his story well. This would be Charlie’s last paid gig. The crew sat down with Charlie the next day and he shared many stories, some new, some old, but he talked with a clarity you wouldn’t expect from a man battling cancer at 83. The film chronicles Charlie’s battle growing up as a poor Alabama kid, to rising fame with his brother Ira, crashing, only to rise again in his 80′s with an indie resurgence.
