Live Bonus Track
However, this version is different from that on the LIVE ON LONG ISLAND 04-18-80 CD. The live bonus track "If I could See You One More Time" is mentioned to come from the show on April 18, 1980 at Nassau Coliseum, NY. So where exactly does this version come from????.


For True Fans
As part of the Southern Rock, MTB is more country than the Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd, and more blues than Charlie Daniels. As stated before, the album has a more country twang than other Marshall Tucker Band albums, but is not to be looked over. This album brings out the country side in the band, especially with the title track "Long Hard Ride". The album is not a starting point for new MTB fans, but a definite for fans already enjoying other albums. .


Another Great One For The Marshall Tucker Band
The reissue includes a song from bassist Tommy Caldwell's last show with the band. After the acoustic explorations of SEARCHIN' FOR A RAINBOW, the Marshall Tucker Band returned to the electric sound of their first three albums with LONG HARD RIDE. The fact that this album didn't do as well as its predecessor is, in my view, a perfect justification for music appreciation teachers to assign their students homework for over the summer, even if it does spoil their vacation plans. If you loved Marshall Tucker's first three albums, as well as anything by Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers Band, or the Outlaws, you'll love LONG HARD RIDE.


More country than the earlier albums and still great
The album gets off to a rousing start with "Long Hard Ride. "Long Hard Ride" is one of the underappreciated MTB albums, coming between "Searchin' For A Rainbow" (with it's Top 40 hit "Fire On The Mountain") and the platinum "Carolina Dreams" (with the band's biggest hit "Heard It In A Love Song"). " With it's bullwhip, fiddle and memorable guitar lead it's a killer opening salvo. Toy Caldwell was simply one of the most distinctive, creative, and powerful guitarists ever. His work on the first 10 MTB albums withstands the test of time. My favorite track on the album has to be "Am I The Kind Of Man. " A downtempo number, lyrically and musically it touches your heart and soul.

If you're looking to start your MTB collection begin with "Where We All Belong" and "A New Life" but if you're looking for a killer addition to your existing MTB collection this would be a great one to pick up. Oh, yeah! The CD reissue has not only much-improved sound, but also a killer bonus live track: "(If I Could) See You One More Time. ".
