you think you know the American South… YOU DON'T KNOW DIXIE Surprising truths about the South's role in U.S. culture and history come to light in new HISTORY® special premiering Wednesday, August 17 at 9 p.m. Southerners have a certain style, language and way of life. But what many people don't know is that America itself was made in the South. YOU DON'T KNOW DIXIE, a two-hour special premiering Wednesday, August 17 at 9pm ET on HISTORY, journeys to the real South for an informative and sometimes lighthearted look at its distinctive cultures, characteristics and influences on our country's history. In the special, narrated by Charlie Daniels, well-known Southerners - Jeff Foxworthy, Trace Adkins, Ty Pennington, James Carville, Ricky Scaggs, Michael Waltrip, Bobby Bowden, Lyrnyrd Skynryd, Herschel Walker, Al Bell, and others - weigh in on cornerstones of Southern life: barbecue and moonshine, hunting and fishing, college football and the Grand Ole Opry. YOU DON'T KNOW DIXIE unearths surprises and misconceptions dating back to the earliest days of American history. For example, the first Europeans settled in Jamestown, VA in 1607 - 13 years before the Mayflower landed in Plymouth, MA. And because the South is a multicultural gumbo, the Southern "twang" varies from region to region and is a variation of the mother tongue in which at least one Southern accent still closely adheres to the speech of upper class Londoners. But while there may be as many different Southern accents as family fried chicken recipes, people across the South have one thing in common: self-reliance. From Antebellum reconstruction to the post-Katrina era, life in Dixie always depended on making do with what was available. Some products of Southern ingenuity, like air conditioning, shipping containers and tow trucks, changed the world. Others - think grits and moonshine - have simply made it a better place. YOU DON'T KNOW DIXIE is produced for HISTORY by Left/Right Productions. Mark Hickman, Charlie DeBevoise and M. Blaine Hopkins are Executive Producers for Left/Right Productions.

The Charlie Daniels Band to Release Pair of Digital Singles July 4
New versions of "Iraq Blues" and "(What the World Needs Is) A Few More Rednecks 2010"
The two tracks are featured on the CDB's forthcoming August 10 release, a patriotic compilation titled Land That I Love. "Iraq Blues" was written during CDB tours to Iraq, and "(What This World Needs Is) A Few More Rednecks 2010" is an updated version of a Daniels classic. Both songs are newly recorded studio versions, and the 2010 update of "(What This World Needs Is) A Few More Rednecks 2010" also includes a brand new verse. The singles will be available at all major online retailers. "I wrote 'Iraq Blues' on three separate trips to entertain the troops over there in Iraq. It's about the troops and for the troops," says Daniels. "'(What This World Needs Is) A Few More Rednecks 2010' is an updated version of a song I recorded several years ago. The new lyrics reflect life in America in the 21st century." The Charlie
Daniels Band maintains a busy tour schedule through the end of 2010.
