The Blues always win with me. However, I am a Blues fan, and this albums wins with me. Firstly, I am not a Marshall Tucher fan - too country for me. Why only 4 stars? Because there are a few songs that are still too country. In my opinion, this has the best version of Bent.
Not the MTB I grew up with
What do they lack? Toy Caldwell, Tommy Caldwell, Paul Riddle. This band might have the name "The Marshall Tucker Band", and Doug Gray is certainly the singer, but rest assured, they're NOT the Marshall Tucker Band that most of is long time fans know and love. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that Jerry Eubanks is on this disc either. In my opinion, without these guys they just don't have the same fire and jam-a-bility that the Tucker Boys of old had. It's true, this CD is better than some of their other "recent" releases. Call me old fashioned, but if I want to hear Tucker do the blues, I'll throw on my well worn Where We All Belong disc, or the newer release, Stompin' Room Only (Unreleased Live Recording). .
Face Down Won't Give You the Blues
It is reminescent of "A New Life". "Face Down in the Blues" is one of my favorite MTB CDs. Like it, Face Down delivers a little bit of everything - R & B, country and rock n roll. It's the best MTB CD since "Dedicated". If you haven't heard the band in a while I'd highly recommend picking up this CD.
Face Down In the Blues
Right? Please remember we are able to think for ourselves, and can determine the true top 10. Who decided this is one of the top 10 selling MTB releases? I think that is determined by the number of units sold.
I thoroughly enjoyed it!
There`s nothing better than the blues ecept for Tucker doing the blues. Doug`s vocals were as strong as I`ve heard them in years.
