Fans can also order the limited edition ‘Anthems – Honoring The Music of Lynyrd Skynyrd’ on vinyl by going to ArtimusPyle.com. As part of a separate limited-edition bundle, music lovers can order the CD and an autographed collector’s edition drumhead. Priced at $100.00, this exclusive package includes the tribute album and a one-of-a-kind, autographed 15” drumhead featuring Artimus Pyle’s logo. Limited in availability, this special offer guarantees fans a unique and collectible addition to their music memorabilia, making it a must-have while supplies last.
Renowned as the untamed force behind Lynyrd Skynyrd, Artimus Pyle’s impactful double bass drumming was instrumental in defining the band’s iconic sound. His breakthrough moment came at the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam, where his authoritative drumming, initially credited simply as “Artimus Pyle, percussion,” captured widespread attention. Further establishing himself as a sought-after session drummer, Pyle connected with acts such as Charlie Daniels and the Marshall Tucker Band, eventually crossing paths with Ronnie Van Zant and Ed King at Studio One in Doraville, Georgia. This fateful encounter paved the way for the creation of ‘Saturday Night Special,’ leaving an indelible mark on Ronnie. Making his live debut at Jacksonville’s Sgt Pepper’s Club in October 1974, Pyle assumed the role of Skynyrd’s drummer following the release of ‘Second Helping,’ contributing to the band’s subsequent four albums, including the legendary ‘Street Survivors.’ Pyle survived the band’s tragic 1977 plane crash that took six lives, including Steve and Cassie Gaines, along with the band’s leader, Ronnie Van Zant.
“This project has been a year in the making, but when the fans hear it they will understand why it took so long,” says Len Snow, Get Joe Records president. “Artimus is legendary within the Southern Rock space. The music that Lynyrd Skynyrd made will always live as a part of rock history. This album honors that music and gives Artimus a way to honor his former bandmates.”

James Bradley (Brad) Daugherty, 76, Paoli
James Bradley (Brad) Daugherty, 76, Paoli, IN who Passed February 2, 2024 at the home of his companion, Carolyn Kerby-Jones. Born February 2, 1948, in Bedford, IN. He was the son of Samuel Ray Daugherty and Jeanette Campbell Daugherty, both of whom preceded him.
Brad was preceded in death by an infant: Bradley Shannon. He was also preceded by his brothers: Jack & Melvin Daugherty and two sisters: Geraldine Nodine and Gloria Anderson.
He graduated from Paoli High School in the Class of 1966 and went straight to work.
He retired from Mac Construction and The Operating Engineers 181 of Louisville, KY. Although, retiring did not slow Brad down at all. After retiring he started his own business doing excavating and grave digging services as well as hauling various items. He hauled everything from stinky hog hides to equipment and livestock.
Although Brad was extremely devoted to his work, he also enjoyed taking a break to drive his side-by-side over to Hometown Scoops for some ice cream.
Brad’s greatest passion was his horses. He was an avid horseman and in his younger years had participated in many parades and trail rides across the state. Even in his last days he enjoyed talking horses with his fellow horseman.
Brad was a perfect example of a “Good Ole Boy”. He was an extremely hard worker and the word “quit” wasn’t even in his vocabulary. He lived on the same farm that he grew up on. Anyone who called on him for help knew that they could always depend on him and that he would treat them fairly.
Survivors Include:
Brad’s Sweetie:
Carolyn Kerby-Jones
One Son:
Chris (Tosha) Daugherty
One Daughter:
Samantha (James) Garloch
Also surviving Brad Daugherty, are 7 grandchildren:
Heather, Josiah, Liam, Tyler, Vanessa, Victoria, and Zach.
Along with numerous great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, February 7, 2024 at Dillman-Scott Funeral Home, 226 W Campbell Street, Paoli, IN 47454.
Cremation to follow. Visitation will be from 2-7 pm on Tuesday, February 6, 2024 at the funeral home and from 9 am until the time of service on Wednesday.
