Track listing[edit]
All songs composed by the Charlie Daniels Band (Charlie Daniels, Tom Crain, Taz DiGregorio, Fred Edwards, Charles Hayward & James W. Marshall), except where indicated:
- 'Passing Lane' - 3:17
- 'Blue Star' - 3:40
- 'Jitterbug' (Daniels, Crain, DiGregorio, Edwards, Hayward, Don Murray) - 3:11
- 'Behind Your Eyes' (John Boylan) - 3:56
- 'Reflections' - 5:26
- 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' - 3:34
- 'Mississippi' (Daniels) - 3:10
- 'Blind Man' (Crain) - 3:46
- 'Rainbow Ride' - 7:24
The 8-track tape running order (Epic JEA 35751) differs from the original LP, as follows:
Program 1: Passing Lane - Blue Star - Jitterbug
Program 2: Reflections - The Devil Went Down To Georgia - Behind Your Eyes (Part 1)
Program 3: Behind Your Eyes (Concl) - Mississippi - Blind Man
Program 4: Rainbow Ride - The Devil Went Down To Georgia (Reprise)*
*'The Devil Went Down To Georgia (Reprise)' is a shorter version of 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' evidenced only by an earlier fade, likely to best program the 8-track tape to minimize a lengthy silent portion of Program 4 and minimize splitting more than one track over the four programs.
