Editorial Reviews

The Marshall Tucker Band, acknowledged as one of the founding fathers of the Southern rock movement, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with an ongoing catalog restoration and release program. One of the first releases is their eponymous 1973 TMTB debut. It comes augmented with a live bonus track from the band’s early days on the road and has been remastered from the original analog tapes produced by Paul Hornsby.

The Marshall Tucker Band was originally released by Capricorn Records in March of 1973 (Billboard #29). The album included "Can’t You See," a song considered the band’s "anthem."

"The buying public never really cared whether we were country or rock and roll" says founding member Doug Gray. "They called us a Southern rock band, but we have always played everything from country to blues and all things in-between."

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Southern Rock Albums Ever!, November 16, 2003

This review is from: Marshall Tucker Band (Audio CD)

Released in 1973, The Marshall Tucker Band's debut album of the same name is one of the best southern rock albums this reviewer has ever heard. The hit's "Can't You See" (here in it's full length 6 min. version), "Take The Highway" and "Ramblin'" are all included in this excellent newly remastered cd. Also, as a bonus you get a "live" twelve minute version of "Everyday (I Have The Blues)" which is a kick butt jam featuring the late Toy Caldwell's awesome guitar playing. The remastering is superb and is much better than the regular (non-remastered) cd version with crisp highs, increased midrange and extended output. If you enjoy listening to The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Charlie Daniels Band, The Outlaws and the other great southern rock bands of the seventies, then this cd is a must have for your collection. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Marshall Tucker Band (Audio CD)

The debut album from The Marshall Tucker Band is one of the greatest. This album brings out the sound that MTB does so well, from country, to rock, to blues, all rolled together into a southern sound. Doug Gray's vocals on "Take the Highway" are fantastic, Toy Caldwell's "Can't You See" remains a favorite, "Hillbilly Band" adds a bluegrass feel, "Ramblin" is full of energy, and the live "Everyday (I Have the Blues)", displaying how massively skilled Toy Caldwell was, is one of the greatest guitar songs I've ever heard. All in all, I highly recommend this album to every MTB fan along with fans of Southern Rock and Country rock.

The Marshall Tucker Band's debut album is great. It contains sveral essential Southern rock songs,including, especially, "Take The Highway" and "Can't You See." There are a couple of songs here that aren't so terrific, but the true gems more than make up for any shortcomings in the other songs. If you love the Allman Brothers Band, the Outlaws, or Lynyrd Skynyrd, you'll love the Marshall Tucker Band.
