Fun fact: there was never anyone in the band named Marshall Tucker. Marshall Tucker was a blind piano tuner in Spartanburg, SC. The name was engraved into the key of a warehouse they rented. When they found out he was an actual person they obtained his permission to use the name. He said he didn't mind as long as they were good boys and played good music. He just died in 2023 at the age of 99.
@@dgoodman1968 I definitely get what you mean but if I had to put them in a genre and not base it on location it would be southern rock, to me they don't fit anywhere else that I can think of.
Southern Rock is a mix of Rock & Country and The Marshall Tucker Band was one of thee very best ever! Toy Caldwell was a Vietnam War Hero and gained the respect of every person who ever met him. Rest In Power Forever Toy!
Songs like these make me emotional now that dad's gone. I just picture him sittin on the porch, no lights, just the tip of his cigarette burning, and the radio.
Oh yeah, my father is 84 and I am hanging onto every day I have to spend time with him. I'm a daddy's girl and he raised me. They are from a different generation that we don't see anymore. Have a blessed one.
Lord, my mis-spent youth. Loved Marshall Tucker. Learned to play the flute because of this set we did! We covered everybody! Takes me back . Thank you, BP!
Yay. You're wading into the southern rock world again. There are definitely some greats in this arena. Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, Black Oak Arkansas, the Outlaws, etc
After my second heart surgery I had a younger nurse and she was telling me how her grandfather was the drummer of this band. I was currently in Syracuse NY at that time. I thought it was cool. I started singing this song to her… lol
I'm in my 60s, the seventies was not the VHS era, the eighties were. The 70s had ' The midnight special, Don kirshner's rock concert and soul train' TV shows. that was all we had. ( 4 hours a week). If you did not see them there you did not see them at all, unless you went to the live concerts. There were few videos. You simply listened to everything via radio, albums, 8 track cassettes or cassette tapes. Lol
Toy Caldwell, lead singer/guitarist, wasn't long back from Vietnam when they recorded this. Just saw Marshall Tucker last weekend at Georgia Mountain fairground.
This song sure takes me back to happy days as a teenager playing this song with my musician friends.. my boyfriend who became my husband could sing it really good. Life was so much more carefree then, and every day seemed filled with joy, fun, and good times. It's a great song, but makes me sad for the world we're all living in nowadays.
I was 12 in 73 us 70s BRATS were over spoiled was fantastic music of all kinds u name it we had great times of 🔥my youth Blcack Pagsasus you had to be there the 70s🔥 were🔥
YES - YES - YEAH - !!!!!!! MTB is probably the most underrated Southern Rock bank of all time!!!!! A must for any playlist!!!! Toy was a US Marine Corps Vietnam vet-wounded-Purple Heart - then went BACK & finished his tour of duty!!!!! Meanwhile his wife cheated on him -this song reflects that - You can HEAR the pain in his voice!!! This song is still played in all the honky-tonks & dance halls & biker bars in Texas & the south!!!! If ya wanted to be a band- you HAD to perform this song with soul!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME WARP!!!!! Charlie Daniels recorded with him & even performed with him -- Waylon Jennings cover this - as did Zac Brown!! this is so timeless!!!
I’m going to start calling you “BUTTER” Mr. Black Pegasus - because YOU are on a ROLL every time I turn around lately. Thank you for making yourself familiar with this classic tune from my youth. I’m 64. I wish we could have hung out in the 70s. It was a hell of a good time!
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesdays Gone, Saturday Night Special and That Smell. Then add 38 Special and their songs Wild-eyed Southern Boy, Bring It On and Caught Up In You
Nothing beats sitting by the fire pit on Friday or Saturday night with BPs reactions blasting. Thank you for all of these reactions brother. God bless.
Listening to The Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides powering up Pig Trail from Cass to top out at Fly Gap on the last note tells me I’ve made a good run. Those curves on Hwy 23 in Arkansas at night are thrilling.
We've lost too many great artists to drugs. Toy Talmadge Caldwell Jr. left us a living legacy of one of the greatest Southern Rock artists in history. Oorah.
a song popped into my head yesterday hadn't thought about in a looong while. i know youll love it! the band is ARGENT - the song ' Hold your head up' ...... caution .. dont make the mistake of picking the short version! the one u want is a little over 6 minutes!!
This band as well as Lynyrd Skynyrd was called Southern Rock. Oh and Charlie Daniel's and James Earl. This music was awesome for camping, bon fires ,and general low key partying in the summer. Great with just an acoustic guitar if the person playing it can actually play. As well as Eagles played on acoustic guitar. Actually there wasn't even Vhs back in the 70s. No Vcrs until early 80s and then only if you had some good money back then. As I recall 8 track players were still pretty expensive in the early 80s.
Simper Fi and RIP Marine, during his tour in Vietnam lead singer Toy Caldwell saw that his fellow Marines wrier receiving their dear John letters from home and what they did to the marines who received them when he returned home he wrote this song. Also try heard it in a love song and fire on the mountain great southern rock songs
Yes sir; this song is a certified American Southern Rock Classic!!! Lead singer was a Vietnam Vet, I believe. You really should do a deep dive into the Allman Brothers ❤. “Stormy Monday” from their live at the Filmore album is a great start 🔥
Among SOUTHERN ROCK's BEST!!! The Doobie Brothers ("It Keeps You Running'", "Black Water", "Listen to the Music" , "JESUS Is Just Alright With ME", "Another Park, Another Sunday" , "Long Train Running' " , "Take Me In Your Arms [Rock Me A Little While]" , "China Grove", "Minute by Minute", "You Belong To Me" and MORE" }, The Allan Brothers Band ("Sweet Melissa," "Statesboro Blue" & Many MORE) , Creedence Clearwater Revival (A Gazillion More), The Charlie Daniels Band, Lynyrd Skynrd, ZZ Top, .38 Special, Atlanta Rhythm Section (that really WAS the Rhythm Section of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra), The Black Crowes, The Ozark Mountain Dare Devils, The Georgia Satellites ("Keep Your Hands To Yourself"), so, so, so many more and these are just the good ones with good songs!!!! You'll SMILE a LOT!!! You'll hear blues (North Mississippi All-Stars -- that's the Delta) .... ENGAGE, my man -- there's a WHOLE 'nother World waiting for YOU!!! 😎🤠🙄
BP! I am so thrilled you are reacting to this - and to the live performance!! MTB is part of the trifecta of southern rock gods - Skynrd, Allman Brothers and MTB. Toy Caldwell, lead singing here, was a great guitarist - "The Fastest Thumb in the South." Vietnam vet, wounded and returned back to service. Semper Fi, Toy.
This music is called Southern Rock. The first band to play this type of music was the allman brothers. Awesome talent. You should check it out. Whipping post, one way out, soul shine, and sweet melissa is a great place to start.
If no one has mentioned it, Marshall Tucker was the name of the piano tuner who would come in and tune the piano. They liked the name and asked if they could use it.
Awesome southern rock band from South Carolina, my home as well. I was fortunate enough to see them live several times when I was in college. Talk about a good time , rocking with the MTB and being 19 years old. Great memories. Also Toy , the lead vocalist here in this song wrote this song when he was in Vietnam. He was a Marine , RIP Toy Caldwell
Marshall Tucker, Outlaws and Lynard Skinner often played on the same card in beer bars and concert halls through out the south. AAMOF they so often played together, they knew each other's sets, and members would cover for missing band members in the other groups.
When we were growing up, we had no cell phones, had 3 channels on TV that turned off at midnight with the Star Spangled Banner. We would lay down and listen to music to fall asleep at night, or we would drive around small towns with stereo blaring during cold beer dreaming of what was out there away from our boring towns. Music kept us sane. That’s why the music was so good.
YEAH ROBERT, ( JOHN FOGERTY ) 😊THIS IS GREAT SOUTHERN ROCK JUST LIKE : ALLMAN BROTHERS, CHARLIE DANIELS, ZZ TOP, LYNYRD SKYNYRD 💯ANYWAY YEAH! FORTYYYY! OH YEAH ROBERT, ANOTHER GREAT SONG AND HIT OF THESE GUYS WAS : HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG ( ORIGINAL VERSION ) 👍
In the late 1960s, four of the band members served in the US military; Toy Caldwell served in the Marine Corps and received a Purple Heart after being wounded in Vietnam. By the 1970s, Toy Caldwell and George McCorkle had returned to Spartanburg and the Toy Factory had resumed playing in area clubs.❤😢Tommy Caldwell the older brother of co-founder and bass guitarist, Tommy who was killed at age 30 in an automobile accident on April 28, 1980, and to Tim Caldwell, who on March 28, 1980, one month prior to Tommy's death, was killed at age 25 in a collision with a Spartanburg County garbage truck on S.C. Highway 215. Toy Caldwell, the lead singer of this song, passed away at age 45 in 1993, due to respiratory failure Toy.named his band after the piano tuner who had a business there.The band members realized that Tucker had previously used the space for his piano tuning business, and they decided to use his name as a temporary name for the band while they were practicing for an upcoming show. The name stuck, and the band never changed it.
This song affected me so much that I decided to play the Flute in Jr. High School. I have always loved The Marshall Tucker Band. They have some other great songs I am sure you would like too. I would love to see your reaction to WHIPPING POST BY THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND.. PLEASE! YOU HAVEN'T HEARD SOUL UNTIL YOU HEAR THIS SONG.. I have requested this many times. I hope you see this.. God Bless you and your family.
I’ve always thought, after seeing this video years ago, that they were the 70’s version of Cinderella from the 80’s. The lead singers voice, guitar skills, the soulful sound and band unity all scream of Cinderella. Love both bands
When you hear and see guys like this guy, Stevie Ray Vaughn and so many others you cant help but to think these guys totally nailled their calling in life. So many amazing and tallented performers.
It's "southern rock." It always amazes me as to how much the lead singer looks like Ricky Nelson (a whole other rabbit hole). This band and song, in particular, set the tone for the 70s. southern flavor as a "cross-over" band from country to rock/southern rock. Tight musicianship in every song and his voice only gets better. 😊 ..And do you remember something about me saying... *White boys rock!* 😊 😉
Toy Caldwell, singer lead guitarist, played guitar, almost exclusively with his thumb called him the thundering thumb. He and his brother in the band were both combat veterans in Vietnam.
Every time I perform this song live it always gets a great response from the audiance , I was fortunate enough to see the original line up live twice. Both times in FLA.
Been lovin Marshal Tucker music for 50 years... always "tight" and soulful. I am so glad you chose to experience them. Love what you do! You're the best out there!
Southern boys from Spartanburg, SC...fantastic group and all their songs were just as powerful. Please go down the Marshall Tucker Band rabbit hole..you won't regret it.
This song is so good. I was 11 when it was released, so I didn't hear it until 1976. It makes me think of walking into that 9th grade class for the first time at a new school with endless possibilities. ❤😊
I loved this band so much when I was a teenager I named my dog Tucker. He was half Irish Setter and half Brittany Spaniel. He had long hair like an Irish Setter and solid black, and reminded me of the lead singer's hair.
