5.0 out of 5 stars After listening to this CD, You'll become a Tuckerhead, March 30, 2001

This is a great collection. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels Band, JJ Cale, The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker is so diverse. They cover Rock, Country, Jazz, and Blues. How many country bands have a guy who plays the flute? The Caldwell Brothers totally rock through all these songs and Doug Gray's voice brings it all together. Along with the popular hit, Heard It In A Love Song, the songs This Ol' Cowboy, Fire On The Mountain, Searchin' For A Rainbow, Blue Ridge Mountain Sky, Can't You See, and See You Later, I'm Gone are my personal favorites. This whole CD is awesome, you won't be dissappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most (but not all) of their great tunes, March 11, 2000

This is a very solid album with the essential Marshall Tucker Band tracks represented. If you liked this (or haven't bought it yet), try "Where We All Belong" (I can't believe it's not offered by Amazon! - Barnes&Noble has it for $9.49). You'll get several of the tracks on this "Best Of", plus some more absolutely fabulous music, most notably "Everyday I Have The Blues" a red-hot live track of "watermelon boogie woogie" as the MTB describes it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Selections, October 22, 1998

This review is from: The Best Of The Marshall Tucker Band: The Capricorn Years (Audio CD)

I haven't heard any of my old Tucker albums for years so I can't remember if any real gems were overlooked. I owned all of the ones these were pulled from, and it appears to be real solid song selections. Most Best Of's are dubious undertakings but the inclusion of long live windouts like 24 Hours at a Time and the meditative rythms of In My own Way seem to vary the pace and open it up. This avoids the one 3 min wonder after another syndrome and honors the eclecticism of the band, unfortunately narrowcast into the jack Daniel Dixie rock school by the media. My taste are eclectic, grew up on this stuff but listen to Yo la Tengo and Massive Attack today, but I still respect what this band did. Good Collection.
