Marshall
Tucker Band
I always enjoyed the Marshall Tucker Band music and saw
them twice live in the 1970's. They were founded in 1971 in Spartanburg, SC by Doug Gray, Toy Caldwell, Tommy Caldwell, George McCorkle, Paul Riddle and Jerry
Eubanks. They earned seven gold and three platinum albums and have enjoyed success on the pop, country and gospel charts.
I lost track of Marshall
Tucker for around twenty years. However, with the release of their
live album, Stompin' Room Only, I had to pick that up.
Thereafter, I had the
opportunity to explore The Marshall Tucker Anthology: The First 30 Years and I was pleasantly surprised at how good
the tracks from their latter albums are. Frequently with chronological
anthology releases, the bands best material is on the first disc and the
second disc just collects dust. While the first disc is certainly
better, the second disc reveals very music strong throughout. This
release generally selects a song or two from nearly all of their albums so it
is a great orientation to their music, but not the whole story.
I haven't had the
opportunity to listen to the most of their individual albums to
review them, but would if I had them. Therefore, I've provided the
product descriptions and some of press release excerpts from Shout!
Factory as well as credits from the Marshall Tucker Band website.
From what I've heard and
read I can share these recommendations. The Marshall Tucker Bands
big hits are a must and they can be purchased either by getting the
individual albums, the The Marshall Tucker Anthology: The First 30 Years,
or live album, Stompin’ Room Only.
Their live renditions are worth getting in addition to the studio
versions.
If you take the compilation
route and like their country side, get Where
a Country Belongs,
to complement Anthology. There are only a handful of songs that
overlap and between them you'll have like 30 different songs.
Further, I
did notice that some of their releases are very inexpensive, namely Just Us
, and
Face Down In the Blues,
and the tracks from these albums I'm familiar with are quite
good.

Stompin’ Room Only:
Greatest Hits Live: 1974 - '76 |
|
| The
Marshall Tucker Band, acknowledged as one of the founding
fathers of the Southern rock movement, is celebrating its 30th
anniversary as a recording group with a catalog restoration
and release program. Stompin’ Room Only, part of this
collection, is the long rumored and highly anticipated album
of live material recorded between 1974 and 1976.
Recorded in London, Manchester (during their
only European tour), in Milwaukee, and at Charlie Daniels’
annual “Volunteer Jam” in Murfreesboro during the years
1974-1976, the album was originally prepared for release in
1977 by producer Paul Hornsby and included the original
lineup.
In an unusual series of events, the album’s
release was first delayed by Capricorn Records and,
ultimately, never released, as the master tapes could not be
found for more than a quarter century. They were recently
discovered in pristine condition and that long-awaited album,
the virtual “holy grail” of jam band music is now
available.

Release
LOS ANGELES, CA -- On August 22nd, Shout!
Factory and Ramblin’ Records release Live On Long Island
4-18-80, the last performance featuring all of the original
members of the Marshall Tucker Band. MTB’s lively,
freewheeling spirit and sound have outlasted the odds but fans
still reminisce about the original line up. This new two-disc
set of the historic Nassau Coliseum show will remind fans how
the group rocked with Tommy Caldwell’s bass leading the way.
Live On Long Island 4-18-80, the first time an entire concert
by the original band is being released, will be available for
the suggested retail price of $24.98.
Live On Long Island 4-18-80 was
recorded on the final stop of the 1980 tour, in support of
their Billboard charting album Tenth, just 10 days before
Tommy Caldwell died in a tragic car accident. The show was the
last time the original Marshall Tucker Band -- Tommy Caldwell
(bass), Toy Caldwell (lead guitar), George McCorkle (rhythm
guitar), Paul Riddle (drums), Jerry Eubanks (flute) and Doug
Gray (vocals) -- played together. Tracks from Tenth such as
“It Takes Time,” “Sing My Blues” and “Cattle Drive”
showcase the band’s slick new sound as they take a detour
from their country roots. MTB delve into their old favorites
from their hit-heavy catalog with “Can’t You See” and
“Fire On The Mountain.” The crowd goes crazy for MTB’s
biggest single, “Heard It In A Love Song,” which landed on
both the Billboard pop and country singles charts. Also warmly
welcomed are the favorites “Last Of The Singing Cowboys,”
“Ramblin’” and “Take The Highway.”
Since forming in Spartanburg, SC, in 1973,
The Marshall Tucker Band has released 21 studio albums and
produced massive hit singles, including “Can’t You See”
and “Fire On The Mountain,” among others. Led by original
singer Doug Gray, MTB has experienced over nearly three
decades of recording and touring and continues to be a major
Southern Rock act. The Marshall Tucker Band still thrives with
a year-round touring schedule, continuing to bring their great
music to their devoted fans.

| The Marshall Tucker Anthology: The First 30 Years
|
|
| Along
with Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers, The Marshall
Tucker Band is the definitive Southern rock band. Over their
storied career, they’ve seamlessly blended rock, country,
jazz, pop, blues and soul into a beguiling blend of the best
music that The South — and America — has to offer. The
2-disc Anthology is the first collection to pull
together the highlights from their 30-year career.
It contains not only their biggest hits—“Fire
On The Mountain,” “Heard It In A Love Song,” “Last Of
The Singing Cowboys,” “Can’t You See,” “Take The
Highway”—but also such fan favorites as “Where A Country
Boy Belongs,” “I Should Have Never Started Lovin’ You,”
and “Cattle Drive.”
Since MTB’s on-stage prowess is legendary,
a live video clip has been included as a bonus. Enhanced
content: Fire On The Mountain (bonus live video clip)
Press Release
To celebrate a career that has outlasted most
marriages, the Marshall Tucker Band has created their very own 30th
anniversary gift for their fans – a double disc compilation of
their favorite songs culled from the past three decades. Spanning 18
studio albums, Marshall Tucker Band Anthology: The First 30 Years is
the most comprehensive collection from the band to date In addition, the collection
includes an enhanced CD component featuring live concert footage
from a 1981 performance. The First 30 Years marks the first time
that each and every one of the band’s most popular songs have been
assembled on one collection.
Long ago labeled ‘Southern Rock’ simply for lack of a better
phrase, the Marshall Tucker Band actually performs far more
sophisticated music that the moniker suggests, mixing up country and
blues, rock and rhythm & blues, jazz and gospel. Only the MTB
could put a flute next to a slide guitar and make it magical. And
for the record, there is no Marshall Tucker in the band. It’s just
an inside peek into the band’s quirky sense of humor.
While their lineup may have evolved over the years, their
roots-driven rock has remained the same, much to the delight of
their devoted fans. It is because of those fans that the band is one
of the most successful and enduring live acts on the road today,
consistently performing to sell-out crowds around the country.
Marshall Tucker Band Anthology: The First 30 Years includes 33
iconic anthems such as “Fire On The Mountain,” “Last Of The
Singing Cowboys,” “Can’t You See,” “Take The Highway,”
the Top 20 hit “Heard It In A Love Song,” and their signature
song, “Ramblin’.”

1973
The Marshall Tucker Band, acknowledged as one of the founding fathers of the Southern rock movement, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with an ongoing catalog restoration and release program. One of the first releases is their eponymous 1973 TMTB debut. It comes augmented with a live bonus track from the band’s early days on the road and has been remastered from the original analog tapes produced by Paul Hornsby.
The Marshall Tucker Band was originally released by Capricorn Records in March of 1973 (Billboard #29). The album included “Can’t You See,” a song considered the band’s “anthem.”
“The buying public never really cared whether we were country or rock and roll” says founding member Doug Gray. “They called us a Southern rock band, but we have always played everything from country to blues and all things in-between.”

program. One of the first releases is their 1974 sophomore
release, A New Life. It comes augmented with a live bonus

remastered from the original analog tapes produced by Paul
Hornsby.
Eight months later their debut, after
extensive touring with the Allman Brothers Band, MTB released
their follow up A New Life (Billboard #37). The gold album
included “24 Hours At A Time” and “Blue Ridge Mountain
Sky” and firmly established the band as one of the leading
lights in the field of Southern Rock.
“The buying public never really cared
whether we were country or rock and roll” says founding
member Doug Gray. “They called us a Southern rock band, but
we have always played everything from country to blues and all

| Where We All Belong |
|
1974
The
Marshall Tucker Band arrived at a crossroads on its third
album, Where We All Belong. With two successful LPs already
under their belt, the Spartanburg, SC sextet was on the verge
of even greater popularity. Marshall Tucker’s eclectic brand
of musical Americana had won them a fervent following as a
touring act. Now — thanks to lead guitarist Toy Caldwell’s
knack for hook-laden songwriting—they were edging closer to
breaking into Top 40 radio.
Where We All Belong gives a taste of both ends of the Marshall
Tucker spectrum: the expansive jam band and the more
tightly-focused recording act. Released in 1974 as a
two-record LP, the album found the band refining its own
distinctive brand of country-rock on the studio cuts.
Anticipating the mass appeal of cowboy culture a few years
later, Toy and his band adopted a bit of a Wild West attitude
in their music. For all the prominence of pedal steel guitar
and down-home lyric imagery in its tracks, though, Where We
All Belong was far more adventuresome than most mainstream
country music of its time.
Balancing the well-honed studio cuts were the in-concert
recordings that round out the album. The genre-spanning
versatility and instrumental excellence of Marshall Tucker’s
membership is caught here in all its unfettered glory. As a
live act, the band had the power to drive audiences delirious
with their soaring jams, as these recordings demonstrate.

for a Rainbow |
|
1975
Old West
dreams meet Southern memories in the tracks of Searchin’ for
a Rainbow, The Marshall Tucker Band’s fourth album. Released
in 1975, this song collection found the group refining its
multi-faceted sound into an appealing country-rock essence.
Still present were the jazz and blues-based elements that had
always made Marshall Tucker a distinctive unit. By dressing up
their music in Western garb, the band found a way to reach a
huge new audience—all it took was a little “Fire On The
Mountain” to light the way.
“We’d found a bit more direction on how to design songs
for a record,” says lead singer Doug Gray. “Our record
company Capricorn had always said, ‘Try to give us something
that would work on the radio.’ We tried to do that, and at
the same time please each other. We were known as a jamming
band. This was the first time we really tried to give them
Marshall Tucker’s interpretation of what a hit song was.”
Helping to spur things on was “Fire On The Mountain,” the
lead track off Searchin’ for a Rainbow. Released as a single
in the fall of ’75, the tune reached #38 on the pop charts.
A vivid, Old West, lyric-storyline combined with
bluegrass-tinged instrumental licks and an ear-grabbing chorus
brought Marshall Tucker its first Top 40 hit.

1976
It
sounds like the plot of a classic Western saga: Six young men
ride out of the South Carolina uplands seeking fame and
adventure, dazzling crowds and creating a legend along the
way. Actually, the above scenario describes The Marshall
Tucker Band’s rise to mass popularity in the mid-1970s. Like
true Sunday-matinee cowboy heroes, the band made it thanks to
a restless spirit and a tender heart, blazing a country-rock
trail for later artists to follow.
Long Hard Ride, Marshall Tucker’s 1976 album, came on the
heels of their first Top 40 radio hit, “Fire On The
Mountain.” Striving to build upon this breakthrough, they
delivered an album that mixed country, rock and blues into a
distinctive whole. A good number of the tunes were
radio-friendly numbers that reined in the band’s jamming
tendencies. But the individual playing styles that made
Marshall Tucker unique clearly shone through, making Long Hard
Ride a worthy addition to their catalogue.

was experiencing financial strain—and pressures. This
reissue features a bonus live song, “Bound And Determined.”

them refining their blend of rock, country, R&B and jazz
on a set of songs that mostly deal with life on the road (“Running

behind (“Melody Ann,” “My Best Friend”). And “Last

music.

Description
The
members of MTB were good ol’ boys at heart, but it was
during the recording of the Top 40 album Tenth that
rock ’n’ roll excess started to rear its ugly head. You’d
never know it from the music, which reached back to the
original sound of the debut on such songs as “Save My Soul,”
which recalls the hit song “Can’t You See,” and “Sing
My Blues” – a song about the Caldwell brothers’ years of
playing the local club circuit before forming MTB. Patti
Austin contributes backing vocals to “Gospel Singin’ Man.”

1983
Just
Us, one of the most highly regarded of all of MTB’s
albums, was the first that they produced themselves and the
first to be recorded in their custom-built studio in
Spartansburg, SC. New member Ronnie Godfrey brought a number
of self-penned songs to the sessions, and his fiery piano
playing reenergized the band. Overall, Just Us is just
that—the sound of a great band kicking back in the studio,
doing what they do best.
Just Us, the second album released in 1983 that also introduced newcomer Ronnie Godfrey on the piano and as a contributing songwriter. With its nine tracks this album marked the beginning of a new era for the group.

Description
The
title Greetings From South Carolina is a bit of a
misnomer, as it was really the end of an era for MTB. It was
their final record for Warner Bros. and it also signaled the
end of the original phase of the group, with Toy Caldwell and
other founding members leaving the fold after its release. Greetings
is the most country-influenced of all of MTB’s albums, full
of band-written tunes in both the wistful and the rollicking
modes.
Press Release
Greetings From South Carolina is a 10-song illustration of Marshall Tucker’s just-relax-and-enjoy-yourself attitude. Released in 1983, this album was the last recording of the original MTB line-up before major changes were made to the band’s players the following year.
