Editorial Reviews
It sounds like the plot of a classic Western saga: Six young men ride out of the South Carolina uplands seeking fame and adventure, dazzling crowds and creating a legend along the way. Actually, the above scenario describes The Marshall Tucker Band’s rise to mass popularity in the mid-1970s. Like true Sunday-matinee cowboy heroes, the band made it thanks to a restless spirit and a tender heart, blazing a country-rock trail for later artists to follow.
Long Hard Ride, Marshall Tucker’s 1976 album, came on the heels of their first Top 40 radio hit, "Fire On The Mountain." Striving to build upon this breakthrough, they delivered an album that mixed country, rock and blues into a distinctive whole. A good number of the tunes were radio-friendly numbers that reined in the band’s jamming tendencies. But the individual playing styles that made Marshall Tucker unique clearly shone through, making Long Hard Ride a worthy addition to their catalogue.

More country than the earlier albums and still great,
By A Customer
This review is from: Long Hard Ride (Audio CD)
"Long Hard Ride" is one of the underappreciated MTB albums, coming between "Searchin' For A Rainbow" (with it's Top 40 hit "Fire On The Mountain") and the platinum "Carolina Dreams" (with the band's biggest hit "Heard It In A Love Song"). The album gets off to a rousing start with "Long Hard Ride." With it's bullwhip, fiddle and memorable guitar lead it's a killer opening salvo. Toy Caldwell was simply one of the most distinctive, creative, and powerful guitarists ever. His work on the first 10 MTB albums withstands the test of time. My favorite track on the album has to be "Am I The Kind Of Man." A downtempo number, lyrically and musically it touches your heart and soul. If you're looking to start your MTB collection begin with "Where We All Belong" and "A New Life" but if you're looking for a killer addition to your existing MTB collection this would be a great one to pick up. Oh, yeah! The CD reissue has not only much-improved sound, but also a killer bonus live track: "(If I Could) See You One More Time."

Three great songs make it worth the price,
By A Customer
This review is from: Long Hard Ride (Audio CD)
I'm writing this review some 20+ years after I first heard LHR at Grand Targhee ski resort in Wyoming. This CD has three great songs that make it worth the price - Long Hard Ride, Windy City Blues, and You Don't Live Forever. I only wish these guys could have kept making that kind of music - a great mix of country rock and country blues.

And What a Ride !,
By Country Boy "Larry" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Long Hard Ride (Audio CD)
Nominated for a grammy this classic album sums up what MTB are all about.
They may have missed out on the grammy but they certainly did not miss out on delivering probably their finest piece of work. With an album cover any Spaghettti Western movie mogul in Hollywood would be envious of when the first track starts, Long Hard Ride, you would honestly think you were in that stagecoach on the cover. A mighty fine album of yeah hah whip cracking country rockers and soulful unlucky in love ballads. A must in any country boys(and girls) CD collection
