| The Marshall Tucker Band is an American Southern rock band originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina.They soon signed with Capricorn Records and by 1973, had released their first EP, The Marshall Tucker Band.Since its inception, the Marshall Tucker Band has suffered three great losses:
Original frontman and bassist, Tommy Caldwell died from injuries in a jeep crash on April 28, 1980.As well as being the front man who worked the crowd, he also sang background vocals and wrote several songs, including "Melody Ann," which was the only song he ever performed lead vocals on.He also played steel and acoustic guitar.He sang lead on several songs, including "Can't You See," "This Ol Cowboy," and "Blue Ridge Mountain Sky."Despite these losses, the Marshall Tucker Band still plays up to 150 shows in a year, and are set to release their new album in June of 2007 entitled "The Next Adventure" on Ramblin Records.Lead singer Doug Gray is the only original member in the current (2007) lineup.Band name origin
There was no band member named "Marshall Tucker".But by the time the band released its first album they had become the Marshall Tucker Band.The band's official website offers additional background:
When MTB first got together in their native Spartanburg back in 1972 they were rehearsing in an old warehouse.Someone looked at the tag on the key and it said "Marshall Tucker" and it was suggested they call themselves the Marshall Tucker Band, not knowing it was a real person's name.Marshall Tucker was the name of the person who rented the building before them.The video has been added to your playlist.Thank you for sharing your concerns.Per our Community Guidelines, hate speech is specifically defined in reference to "protected groups."There may be significant legal penalties for false notices.In order to process a privacy complaint we need more information from you.Change the value of a comment by clicking on a thumb.MTB, SKYNYRD, ALLMANS CHARLIE DANIELS, OUTLAWS.Brings back great memories of my first girlfriend.Based on how the boys looked throughout the 70's, this CANNOT be 1973.The Marshall Tucker Band got its start in Spartanburg, S.Gray teamed up with Tommy Caldwell and Toy Caldwell, Paul T.Tommy was the leader and visionary of the group.He was an inspiration to many and friend to everyone.His thumb playing style created its own unique tone.Son of the South by his friend Charlie Daniels in 2000 (on Charlie's label, Blue Hat Records).He also wrote many great songs including Fire on the Mountain, Silverado, Last of the Singing Cowboys, Holdin' On To You, and several others.In 1999 he released his first solo CD, American Street.Today he resides in the Nashville area and is a songwriter.He occasionally sits in with the Allman Brothers Band and plays in a local band called ThrobbeJerry Eubanks, a sax player by trade, was asked by Toy Caldwell if he knew how to play flute...Toy's question with a resounding "hell yeah!."After Tommy passed away there obviously was a big void in the band.Doug did so, though somewhat reluctantly.After almost 30 years on the road and over 5,000 shows, you can still see the love he has for doing what he does.The code changes based on your selection.In the case of MTB, you'll find keepers such as "Can't You See," "Heard It in a Love Song," and "Fire on the Mountain" without having to sort through endless filler.Though later their music grew soggy with sweet Southern Comfort nostalgia, in their prime the Marshall Tucker Band deserved their reputation as a Southern Rock institution.The Marshall Tucker Band Feeds
