Charlie Daniels Band Releases Patriotic Anthem 'My Home' for America's 250th Birthday Celebration
A new patriotic anthem by the iconic Charlie Daniels Band has been released after a decade, and Taste of Country readers are the first to listen to it. The track, titled "My Home," was originally recorded in 2014 for a Macy’s Fourth of July TV special but never had a commercial release until now. Following Charlie Daniels' passing in 2020, his son, Charlie Daniels Jr., rediscovered the song in 2025 and worked on releasing it with the help of songwriter Bill Schermerhorn and co-writer Doug Katsaros. The up-tempo track blends country and rock elements, featuring Daniels' signature fiddle runs and patriotic lyrics fitting for America's upcoming 250th birthday celebration on July 4.
The release of "My Home" is part of a series of projects planned by Daniels' estate in 2026, leading up to what would have been Daniels' 90th birthday in October. Special events include the Legend of Charlie Daniels show at Fort Campbell, Ky., on July 4, featuring performances from a CDB hologram, the Frontmen, Aaron Tippin, and Eric Lee Beddingfield. Additionally, an upcoming compilation album titled Best of the Charlie Daniels Band Volunteer Jam is set to be released in August. "My Home" is now available on all major digital music platforms, offering fans a chance to enjoy this lost gem from the Charlie Daniels Band.
