The Late Charlie Daniels Honored in Korn’s Latest Cover

July 30, 2020

On Wednesday, July 28th, Korn released a cover of the late Charlie Daniels’ classic “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”. Frontman Jonathan Davis trades off verses with YelaWolf as they take on the roles of “The Devil” and “Johnny” in the classic tale for the new rendition.

All proceeds from the track will be donated to Awakening Youth, a nonprofit that helps youth dealing with the loss of a parent due to divorce, addiction, death, being surrendered for adoption and more.

In the band’s official statement, Davis laments about country music and the song’s impact on the band. “I’ve always said it, but country music is some of the darkest ever.. Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and, of course, Charlie Daniels all turned pain into some really powerful music that sounded alive. ‘The Devil Went Down To Georgia’ is a classic story, and we wanted to release it now to help others in need.”

You can listen to “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” via Bandcamp.
