Marshall Tucker Band It has all of their good stuff. This is a great album for Marshall Tucker fans.
they call this an anthology?
it's costing me a few bucks and sometimes depending on the artist/band i buy the greatest hits/best of things and so on. i'm slowly replacing a good deal of my vast cd collection with the newer remastered versions of my favorite albums/cds by my favorite artist/singer songwriters/bands. i would just like to know who the clowns are who are in charge of putting together these anthology/greatest hits/best of packages together? they are obviously not any kind of music critic or expert or any kind of knowledgeable authority on anything to do with music? why would they put this out for sale without the song "this ol' cowboy" and maybe 1 or 2 other important songs while at the same time cramming it full of empty meaningless songs [filler] that no one cares about? it's like putting a beatles career type of thing together and leaving out "while my guitar gently sleeps" or a mellencamp retrospective and omitting "your life is now" or the same thing with the kinks and excluding "so tired of waiting for you"? this nonsense happens over and over again and i'm not going to shell out my hard earned money for a incomplete greatest hits repackaging! they can stuff this!!! so i'll probably do without this!. . . . . . . . . . update: 7/2/09 don't pay any attention to the two star rating i gave this. i get pissed becasuse i often have to buy 2 or 3 albums/cds to get the songs i want. they did a first rate job remastering the songs and this album/cd sounds really great and it has a good song selection for the most part. .
Missing too many classic MTB songs...
This would have been a nice overview of a band that I had no CDs of, but now I regret not tracking down the (out-of-print) "The Best of the Marshall Tucker Band: The Capricorn Years" double CD set. After I purchased this collection, I was very disappointed to see how many great songs by MTB were missing, especially the notable absences of "This Ol' Cowboy", "Blue Ridge Mountain Sky", "Another Cruel Love", and "Hillbilly Band".
a good choice
It combines many of the songs you remember with a few that you may not be familiar with but will also enjoy listening to. If you are any degree of a Marshall Tucker fan, this cd is a good choice for you.
Great Collection
I did have to buy idividual albums to get some of the songs not on this album ( see my other review) Disc Two contains music from the later reincarnation of the M T band after the Caldwell Brothers Died I never much cared for this band eventhough they recorded a few great tracks. I liked disc #1 as it is a great collection of the MT band's more popular stuff.
