The Marshall Tucker Band

The debut, US 29 and gold, with Toy Caldwell writing every song.
The Marshall Tucker Band, 1973

Toy Caldwell wrote all eight tracks. Gray sang lead and played percussion, Toy played lead and steel guitar and sang lead on "Can't You See", "Hillbilly Band" and "Ab's Song", Tommy Caldwell played bass and drums on "See You Later, I'm Gone", and Paul Hornsby added piano, Fender Rhodes, Hammond organ and Moog. Toy wrote "Ab's Song" for his wife Abbie before the band formed. A reissue adds "Everyday (I Have the Blues)" live at Winterland in San Francisco in September 1973. AllMusic gave it 4 of 5 and Paste called it a Southern rock classic in 2007; Rolling Stone put it in its 2014 list of 50 rock albums every country fan should own.
