Country-er side of Southern Rock. Blending blazing leads from guitar, steel guitar and flute, with traditional country lyrics and harmonies, they had a very unique sound. Many hits.
My opinion to hearing classics like this, the original studio versions are the best option to hear first, after all, those were the versions that help make the bands famous.
The reference " A Gun That Carried Fame" would be a famous outlaw, lawman, or gunfighter. And often there was not a lot of difference between them. Mostly the "Wild West" was not very wild, but there were exceptions like the gold rush boom towns were there was little in the way of law & order and plenty of shady characters looking to separate a miner from whatever little gold the poor bastard managed to find by whatever means they thought they could get away with. What I always liked about this song is that it was influenced by the type of music you might actually have heard in the mid to late 19th century. Granted, it`s done with modern instruments, but it still has the same feel and general sound to it.
The sitting down guitar is referred to as a steel guitar. Toy Caldwell, the leader of the band, was playing, and did not normally play this instrument, which from what I understand involves not only playing the individual strings, but also involves a pedal.
The pedal steel guitar is regarded by many as the most difficult instrument to master. There's more than one pedal, and some are operated by the knees. WAY beyond my abilities...heck, I can't even handle the 5 strings on my banjo! LOL!
Marshall Tucker is considered Southern Rock! Great reaction!
Southern rock, progressive country, blues rock, country rock, jazz rock.

It's called a steel guitar and that's Toy Caldwell, lead singer from their song Can't You See playing it.

In my neck of the woods and many other, the "sideways guitar" is called a dobro. Most often seen played with a slide, as you see here.
Saw them in the 90's at Tulsa City Limits. Fantastic concert! ❤
