The Devil Came Down to Georgia

[gategrrl]

 The Devil Came to Georgia was a popular song when I was a kid - I'm not sure when it came out, exactly, maybe the early eighties. I remember it because A) it was a catchy song with two cool instrumentals in it, and B) had a good narrative story in it and C) it was about the ONLY current song I remember my father, the opera stick-in-the-mud, ever singing along to when it came onto the radio!

I just discovered, many years late, of course, that the song had a sequel called The Devil Comes Back to Georgia, wherein after ten years, with Johnny's win on the fiddle just gnawing away at him, comes back to challenge him again.

I can't find the sequel song on iTunes, of course. Does anyone remember hearing it?

But google.com found this link:

And it seems to be labeled "The Devil Went Back To Georgia"

I'm still looking for the album the Charlie Daniels/Travis Tritt/Johnny Cash collaboration mentioned in Wikipedia might have appeared on.
