Marshal Tucker Band

I really liked that track, so I bought this CD on the strength of it.
I heard a track of the Marshal Tucker band in a bar in UK.
However, the CD was not quite what I was expecting and rather disapointing. Too 70'ish for my liking. Perhaps it might grow on me ?? .


great m tucker disc
back before they got cheesy, back when they could rock, back when they had all their personnel. . this was what real southern rock sounded like. . . enjoy it. . . a different flavor from the allman brothers, but also an essential part of american musical history. . . very cool stuff.


GREAT Album
"Take the Highway" and "Can't you see" are absolute classics. It was great on vinyl on initial release and it's a pleasure to have it back in my collection. I heard "Can't you see" on Sirius the other day and immediately remembered to look for the CD. The live bonus track on the CD, "Everyday I have the blues" cements what a great band they were. If you loved early Allman Brothers you must add this to your collection.


the first 3 cuts tell it all!
The first 3 cuts (side 1 of the "LP") was probably one of the most impressive album sides of a group's debut album. This wondrous platter was burned through in college once a year. . . along with "side 2" of Steely Dan's "Can't Buy A Thrill", which came out the same year.

"Ramblin'" seems very out of place after all these years. . . but the instrumental break in the middle of "Losin' You" is priceless.

An underrated gem.


Phenomenal
This album brings out the sound that MTB does so well, from country, to rock, to blues, all rolled together into a southern sound. The debut album from The Marshall Tucker Band is one of the greatest. Doug Gray's vocals on "Take the Highway" are fantastic, Toy Caldwell's "Can't You See" remains a favorite, "Hillbilly Band" adds a bluegrass feel, "Ramblin" is full of energy, and the live "Everyday (I Have the Blues)", displaying how massively skilled Toy Caldwell was, is one of the greatest guitar songs I've ever heard. All in all, I highly recommend this album to every MTB fan along with fans of Southern Rock and Country rock.
