Five for Ten ... a perfect score. My initial impression upon hearing "Tenth" was similar to what I felt after my first listen to the band's final Capricorn release "Together Forever" in 1978: Is this real or am I dreaming? Every track is so well written and is performed in that inimitable Marshall Tucker style that one can't help but be reminded of what a special and unique group of musicians the original Marshall Tucker Band was. The ten tracks compiled on the 1980 release entitled "Tenth" compare favorably with any offering in the MTB catalog.
For fans of Toy Caldwell's tasty guitar licks, there are plenty of fine examples spread across the ten tracks in this collection. Toy even collaborates with George McCorkle on a short instrumental tribute to Jimi Hendrix appropriately entitled "Jimi" that is tastefully done. Yet, for me, the stand out artist on "Tenth" is Paul Riddle. Never one to go over the top to draw attention to his performance, Mr. Riddle's drumming truly shines through here. The steady intensity he displays on the standout cooker "Cattle Drive" is most impressive.

Marshall Tucker - Tenth
I used to listed to this, on cassette, back in 1980 when it came out. It was great to get this on CD. I am not a big fan of southern rock, but this is a great CD, musically and lyrically.
unexpectedly good
I took my chances on 'Tenth' and boy am I glad I did. I have always liked MTB but I must confess that I have only have heard their first four albums so I was a little reluctant to purchase any album past that. There is not a bad song on the entire cd. This cd was an easy 5 star rating and is right up there with the best of any MTB albums.
LAST ALBUM RECORDED WITH TOMMY CALDWELL PROVES TO BE ONE OF THEIR STRONGEST
This album includes some of their strongest material since the capricorn days. This album was the last album recorded with the great tommy caldwell on bass. Later albums were not as consistent.
One of their best..
A beautiful mix of country rock and blues. I rate this album as one of the best MTB ever produced. Great!!.
