The MTB's best studio release
This is simply a choice recording, and you should probably get it if you get it. This is one of the best albums of the 70's, not just from The MTB. ;).


Southern rock
A refuge from disco. A glimpse of college, North Carolina in the late '70's.


MTB A New Life
This may be to the lack of more well known hits (except for 24 Hours at a Time). With a blend of southern blues and country music, The Marshall Tucker Band releases a second great album that doesn't seem to fair as well as their first album. But for a true Marshall Tucker Band fan, this is an album that must be added to your collection. With Toy Caldwell's Blue Ridge Mountain Sky and the jam song 24 Hours at a Time, this album reigns in the sound that MTB plays so well. It's a perfect blend of blues and country to bring out the southern in any of us. From beginning to end (with the possible exception of Another Cruel Love which is not a high quality live recording) this album is great to listen to. I don't recommend it for anyone just getting into MTB, but for those who love the sound, it's a definite must have!.


A New Life
Tuckers sophomore album captures the spirit of the early 70s southern rock movement better than any other album. I believe that this album, along with "Eat A Peach" by the Allman Brother Band, is the essential "Southern Rock Album". From the jazzy Southern Woman to the incredible Another Cruel Love, Toy Caldwell's songwriting was never better. You Ain't Foolin' Me might be the purest "anthem" song that Marshall Tucker was so famous for in concert. The best album by maybe the most underrated live band ever.


MTB Does It Again!!!
I had forgotten all about them for years and happen to hear one of their newer songs,(Although Doug Grey is the only original member. MTB is one of those country jazz influenced bands of the seventies. ) titled the "Ride Of Your Life" from Beyond The Horizon CD. I went out and bought all of the older stuff right up to the 30 yr Anthology. Still good stuff. Takes me back to another time and place.
