1.0 out of 5 stars Carolina Dreams :The Musical Legacy of Upstate SC, June 22, 2000

This review is from: Carolina Dreams: The Musical Legacy of Upstate South Carolina (Paperback)

Over the years Michael Smith appears to have taken on the position of "spokesman" for the Marshall Tucker Band, which also carries with it the responsibilities of doing in-depth research and relaying accurate information. His book does not seem based on any serious degree of research and historical material, which other authors have proven is available if one looks for it. There are many errors, several quite disturbing, that I personally made him aware of Unfortunately, he has chosen not to correct these, and continues to recycle this information in various forms. While,the book does contain some fairy tale chapters regarding the MTB, the definitive history of the MTB has yet to be written. RE: The "special thanks" page, please note I did not encourage Mr. Smith to write this book, and do not endorse it as a factual account of the years my late husband Toy Caldwell, was a band member.

As a longtime friend and former road-mate of Michael B. I am SO happy to finally see him sharing his passion for writing with the world. "Carolina Dreams" is a heartfelt account from a true music fan that grew up with MTB and the other great musicians of this area. Michael, keep up the good work and please, please tell us that you're working on a sequel..........
