Fun fact: there was never anyone in the band named Marshall Tucker. Marshall Tucker was a blind piano tuner in Spartanburg, SC. The name was engraved into the key of a warehouse they rented. When they found out he was an actual person they obtained his permission to use the name. He said he didn't mind as long as they were good boys and played good music. He just died in 2023 at the age of 99.
@@dgoodman1968 I definitely get what you mean but if I had to put them in a genre and not base it on location it would be southern rock, to me they don't fit anywhere else that I can think of.
We were blessed! I want young people to learn about that music so someday people will start learning to sing and write for themselves again. Taylor Swift can't do it all alone. Auto-tune and sampling only works because they had our music to build on.
Southern Rock is a mix of Rock & Country and The Marshall Tucker Band was one of thee very best ever! Toy Caldwell was a Vietnam War Hero and gained the respect of every person who ever met him. Rest In Power Forever Toy!
Yay. You're wading into the southern rock world again. There are definitely some greats in this arena. Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, Black Oak Arkansas, the Outlaws, etc
Songs like these make me emotional now that dad's gone. I just picture him sittin on the porch, no lights, just the tip of his cigarette burning, and the radio.
Oh yeah, my father is 84 and I am hanging onto every day I have to spend time with him. I'm a daddy's girl and he raised me. They are from a different generation that we don't see anymore. Have a blessed one.
All of us who lost our good daddys get sad to hear your story. I would not presume, or insult to say that bullshit “I know how you feel”. That isn’t possible, we both know it. I am glad for your magical memories….
Lord, my mis-spent youth. Loved Marshall Tucker. Learned to play the flute because of this set we did! We covered everybody! Takes me back . Thank you, BP!
I'm in my 60s, the seventies was not the VHS era, the eighties were. The 70s had ' The midnight special, Don kirshner's rock concert and soul train' TV shows. that was all we had. ( 4 hours a week). If you did not see them there you did not see them at all, unless you went to the live concerts. There were few videos. You simply listened to everything via radio, albums, 8 track cassettes or cassette tapes. Lol
After my second heart surgery I had a younger nurse and she was telling me how her grandfather was the drummer of this band. I was currently in Syracuse NY at that time. I thought it was cool. I started singing this song to her… lol
Vietnam vet. Purple Heart. Most soulful voice for such a young man. If I had to pick a fav song (which is impossible) but if I had to it would be this. After. Divorce gave up music awhile. When I finally went out with friends I automatically went to the jukebox out of habit. Played this song. People all around the bar started singing. Even yoinger ones. And music was back again in my life to never be gone again.
When you hear and see guys like this guy, Stevie Ray Vaughn and so many others you cant help but to think these guys totally nailled their calling in life. So many amazing and tallented performers.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesdays Gone, Saturday Night Special and That Smell. Then add 38 Special and their songs Wild-eyed Southern Boy, Bring It On and Caught Up In You
When we were growing up, we had no cell phones, had 3 channels on TV that turned off at midnight with the Star Spangled Banner. We would lay down and listen to music to fall asleep at night, or we would drive around small towns with stereo blaring during cold beer dreaming of what was out there away from our boring towns. Music kept us sane. That’s why the music was so good.
LOL, we ain’t going back, but we did let our technology get out ahead of us, didn’t we? I’m addicted to my keyboard. (And beer). We have 6 adults in our house. No kids. The tech we have boggles the mind. Computers, laptops tops, tablets, cell phones, Alexa. Hell, I’m not quite 60, and I have forgotten how to write. I would ban cell phones from the dining table, but the uprising would be a mutiny if i tried. Our little town had a “strip”, if you want to call it that. Drive around the square, down the “Main Street” until it ended at the fast food restaurant, circle around, and back again. Stop where ever your friends stopped, and sit on hoods and trunks, music blaring all over the place. Joshing, pranking. Finding your mate. No gun shots, no fist fighting. If a fight did break out, it was broke up just as fast. The cops were around, but left us alone. Knew most of them by name. Maybe 100 kids on the strip on any given weekend night? Boon’s Farm wine and pot was the thing.
In the late 1960s, four of the band members served in the US military; Toy Caldwell served in the Marine Corps and received a Purple Heart after being wounded in Vietnam. By the 1970s, Toy Caldwell and George McCorkle had returned to Spartanburg and the Toy Factory had resumed playing in area clubs.❤😢Tommy Caldwell the older brother of co-founder and bass guitarist, Tommy who was killed at age 30 in an automobile accident on April 28, 1980, and to Tim Caldwell, who on March 28, 1980, one month prior to Tommy's death, was killed at age 25 in a collision with a Spartanburg County garbage truck on S.C. Highway 215. Toy Caldwell, the lead singer of this song, passed away at age 45 in 1993, due to respiratory failure Toy.named his band after the piano tuner who had a business there.The band members realized that Tucker had previously used the space for his piano tuning business, and they decided to use his name as a temporary name for the band while they were practicing for an upcoming show. The name stuck, and the band never changed it.
This song sure takes me back to happy days as a teenager playing this song with my musician friends.. my boyfriend who became my husband could sing it really good. Life was so much more carefree then, and every day seemed filled with joy, fun, and good times. It's a great song, but makes me sad for the world we're all living in nowadays.
Simper Fi and RIP Marine, during his tour in Vietnam lead singer Toy Caldwell saw that his fellow Marines wrier receiving their dear John letters from home and what they did to the marines who received them when he returned home he wrote this song. Also try heard it in a love song and fire on the mountain great southern rock songs
My first concert…MT opened for fleet wood Mac. I had never heard of them…I distinctly remember this song and have loved them ever since. That was 45 yrs ago…time flies!
Toy Caldwell, lead singer/guitarist, wasn't long back from Vietnam when they recorded this. Just saw Marshall Tucker last weekend at Georgia Mountain fairground.
This was song was inspired actually by Toy’s seeing his buddies receiving Dear John letters while serving in Vietnam. They were the roots of what would become Southern Rock.
YEAH ROBERT, ( JOHN FOGERTY ) 😊THIS IS GREAT SOUTHERN ROCK JUST LIKE : ALLMAN BROTHERS, CHARLIE DANIELS, ZZ TOP, LYNYRD SKYNYRD 💯ANYWAY YEAH! FORTYYYY! OH YEAH ROBERT, ANOTHER GREAT SONG AND HIT OF THESE GUYS WAS : HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG ( ORIGINAL VERSION ) 👍
I have a soft spot for this song because in high school I was in the band and I played the flute. We were performing at a pep rally and played this song and I had the solo. So fun. Besides, it’s just a beautiful song
a song popped into my head yesterday hadn't thought about in a looong while. i know youll love it! the band is ARGENT - the song ' Hold your head up' ...... caution .. dont make the mistake of picking the short version! the one u want is a little over 6 minutes!!
Good ole’ Southern Rock my man. This is one for anybody’s playlist. What’s cool is that lead singer, and others if not all from this band, had just returned from Vietnam….Our hero’s rock in’ it out!
I love The Marshall Tucker Band!! These guys had so much airplay when I was growing up and I remember singing along with these songs at 4 and 5 years old but I had no idea what the songs were about. I also love "Heard it in a Love Song". I love Southern Rock and southern music and this band was ultra gifted! Thanks BP!!
Listening to The Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides powering up Pig Trail from Cass to top out at Fly Gap on the last note tells me I’ve made a good run. Those curves on Hwy 23 in Arkansas at night are thrilling.
💯 The Marshall Tucker Band has been one of my faves since WAYYY BACK in the 70's! I'm a 70 year old woman in Charlotte, NC. Those Carolina boys surely knew how to do Southern Rock & do it right! I STILL listen to & love them! ☮️ ❤️ 🎶
This music is called Southern Rock. The first band to play this type of music was the allman brothers. Awesome talent. You should check it out. Whipping post, one way out, soul shine, and sweet melissa is a great place to start.
YES - YES - YEAH - !!!!!!! MTB is probably the most underrated Southern Rock bank of all time!!!!! A must for any playlist!!!! Toy was a US Marine Corps Vietnam vet-wounded-Purple Heart - then went BACK & finished his tour of duty!!!!! Meanwhile his wife cheated on him -this song reflects that - You can HEAR the pain in his voice!!! This song is still played in all the honky-tonks & dance halls & biker bars in Texas & the south!!!! If ya wanted to be a band- you HAD to perform this song with soul!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME WARP!!!!! Charlie Daniels recorded with him & even performed with him -- Waylon Jennings cover this - as did Zac Brown!! this is so timeless!!!
If no one has mentioned it, Marshall Tucker was the name of the piano tuner who would come in and tune the piano. They liked the name and asked if they could use it.
Nothing beats sitting by the fire pit on Friday or Saturday night with BPs reactions blasting. Thank you for all of these reactions brother. God bless.
Great Southern Rock band! They came from a few miles from me in Sparkle City (Spartanburg, SC). Toy Caldwell served in 'Nam with USMC, was wounded and evacced and back in the bush 2 weeks later. I had just finished 10 weeks of indoc at Lackland AFB when this song came out.
I was 12 in 73 us 70s BRATS were over spoiled was fantastic music of all kinds u name it we had great times of 🔥my youth Blcack Pagsasus you had to be there the 70s🔥 were🔥
Im 61, i saw them when i was 17 at six flags in Atlanta, Ga. We meet some girls out in the parking lot afterwards, and snuck back in with them for the second show. One of my favorite memories, one of the best concert, and got to see them twice in one night.
This band as well as Lynyrd Skynyrd was called Southern Rock. Oh and Charlie Daniel's and James Earl. This music was awesome for camping, bon fires ,and general low key partying in the summer. Great with just an acoustic guitar if the person playing it can actually play. As well as Eagles played on acoustic guitar. Actually there wasn't even Vhs back in the 70s. No Vcrs until early 80s and then only if you had some good money back then. As I recall 8 track players were still pretty expensive in the early 80s.
Marshall Tucker, Outlaws and Lynard Skinner often played on the same card in beer bars and concert halls through out the south. AAMOF they so often played together, they knew each other's sets, and members would cover for missing band members in the other groups.
I’m going to start calling you “BUTTER” Mr. Black Pegasus - because YOU are on a ROLL every time I turn around lately. Thank you for making yourself familiar with this classic tune from my youth. I’m 64. I wish we could have hung out in the 70s. It was a hell of a good time!
Awesome southern rock band from South Carolina, my home as well. I was fortunate enough to see them live several times when I was in college. Talk about a good time , rocking with the MTB and being 19 years old. Great memories. Also Toy , the lead vocalist here in this song wrote this song when he was in Vietnam. He was a Marine , RIP Toy Caldwell

Thats cool...i hope they helped him money wise if they kept in touch...that would be cool
That's fascinating. I never knew. Thanks for sharing.
o7 THE Marshall Tucker
Wow i live near Spartanburg SC and never knew that! Thank you❤
@@squigglyharris4898I always have to chuckle at the line about taking a Southbound from SC all the way to Georgia.
Skynard, Allman Bros., and Marshall Tucker are what southern rock is all about.
Love all of them but you can't forget zz top and CCR
@@rocky11top CCR was great but definitely not southern rock they were from California
@@dgoodman1968 I definitely get what you mean but if I had to put them in a genre and not base it on location it would be southern rock, to me they don't fit anywhere else that I can think of.
@@rocky11top I cant argue with that point
@@dgoodman1968 Wait two people can disagree, have a conversation and not be jackasses. Wierd lol
"Heard It in a Love Song" - That's one to hit.
Again, we had the most enduring and best music in the 70s.
Can't argue that, and I was an 80's teen, but loved 70's rock for sure.
oh yes! Grauated high school in 1974~ great music for sure
we where damn lucky. shows for $7 and all that fun
@@jimburg621 $3.50 to get in the Fillmore West!
We were blessed! I want young people to learn about that music so someday people will start learning to sing and write for themselves again. Taylor Swift can't do it all alone. Auto-tune and sampling only works because they had our music to build on.
Two other gems by MTB are
•Fire on the Mountain
•Heard it in a Love Song
Southern Rock is a mix of Rock & Country and The Marshall Tucker Band was one of thee very best ever! Toy Caldwell was a Vietnam War Hero and gained the respect of every person who ever met him. Rest In Power Forever Toy!
I would say a mix of rock, country and blues
@@ritayprice3510 Yeah, every type of modern music is blues based.
They've got a bluegrass vibe in there too.
Yay. You're wading into the southern rock world again. There are definitely some greats in this arena. Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, Black Oak Arkansas, the Outlaws, etc
Got some great ones there!!
And if you do 38 Special please do the Southern Rock side of the band.
@@jamestate5059 they went down hill after Donnie left
@@allenruss2976 I agree 100%
You took the words right out of my mouth. Ass kickin' southern rock....it's a whole different genre ! 😂 We rocked !
❤ southern Rock at its finest one of the best and very unique sound..
Yes 💯
Mad respect to the Vets on that stage
Songs like these make me emotional now that dad's gone. I just picture him sittin on the porch, no lights, just the tip of his cigarette burning, and the radio.
Oh yeah, my father is 84 and I am hanging onto every day I have to spend time with him. I'm a daddy's girl and he raised me. They are from a different generation that we don't see anymore. Have a blessed one.
I feel ya, nice comment
Man that just hit me hard. 😢
All of us who lost our good daddys get sad to hear your story. I would not presume, or insult to say that bullshit “I know how you feel”. That isn’t possible, we both know it. I am glad for your magical memories….
His "Wifey" was cheating on him while he was dodging bullets in Vietnam. This song came from that pain.
Never knew this -gives the song more depth-have always loved it
I don't think Toy's wife was. I think he said he wrote the song after watching fellow Marines get Dear John letters.
I never knew this. Thanks for letting us know. Dang, gives the song a different meaning for me.
Never knew.
@@lorijohnston4311 Exactly
That flute is soo iconic. Next up for MTB - Fire on the Mountain.
Bands in this era was great, no computers, no backing tracks,no lip syncing, just great musicians playing their ass off and doing what they love.
Legendary band. Got to admit those old bands actually made music with no tricks. It was a great time for real music
Lord, my mis-spent youth. Loved Marshall Tucker. Learned to play the flute because of this set we did! We covered everybody! Takes me back . Thank you, BP!
If ya learned Anything in Life, it was not "Time Miss-spent"😉❤🤙
OMG.... we knew every line and sang it loud and proud!!
Grew up with Marshall Tucker I'm 64 years old
59 here. My older brother had the album. Even my mom liked it. Loved it then but love it even more now.
@@laurarominger2073 IN MY OWN WAY has come back around for me.
That specific guitar and bass sound of the early 70s... man, that brings me right back to those times!
I'm in my 60s, the seventies was not the VHS era, the eighties were. The 70s had ' The midnight special, Don kirshner's rock concert and soul train'
TV shows. that was all we had. ( 4 hours a week). If you did not see them there you did not see them at all, unless you went to the live concerts. There were few videos. You simply listened to everything via radio, albums, 8 track cassettes or cassette tapes. Lol
Also ABC's In Concert.
Man I love my Southern Rock! Marshall Tucker Band, Allman Brothers Band, Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, etc.
After my second heart surgery I had a younger nurse and she was telling me how her grandfather was the drummer of this band. I was currently in Syracuse NY at that time. I thought it was cool. I started singing this song to her… lol
CUSE!
Marshall Tucker Band, CCR, Almand Brothers, Lynard Skynard, etc....Southern Rock
Classic Southern Rock. One of the biggest and best.
My personal all time favorite band. Toy Caldwell, one of the best guitarists hands down.
This music is called "Southern Rock"
Vietnam vet. Purple Heart. Most soulful voice for such a young man. If I had to pick a fav song (which is impossible) but if I had to it would be this. After. Divorce gave up music awhile.

Just like The Almans Brothers Band, Lanyard Skynyrd, 38 Special and others ITS SOUTHERN ROCK!!!!!!! ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY.....
50ys + and this classic tune still holds the test of time. Considered one of the best country tunes of all time.
Another popular Marshall Tucker hit was 'Heard It In a Love Song'.
One of my favorite bands in my high school years. Thanks for listening to it!
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesdays Gone, Saturday Night Special and That Smell. Then add 38 Special and their songs Wild-eyed Southern Boy, Bring It On and Caught Up In You
Lynyrd Skynyrd....Call Me the Breeze
@ritayprice3510 and of course " Give Me Three Steps ". A true story of the lead singer.
This is gold. Then and now. Simple and great!
one of the great southern rock songs of all time. Our band used to do this song. Show stopper
Southern rock at it's finest.
Marshall Tucker Band is such a good band. Toy Caldwell is such a good player. 😎🤠

Toy Caldwell the singer and guitar player here joined the Marine Corps was wounded in Vietnam recovered from his wounds and returned to duty.
Another great Southern Rock band is The Outlaws
I saw the outlaws open for Skynyrd back in the day, they were fantastic!
Listening to The Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides powering up Pig Trail from Cass to top out at Fly Gap on the last note tells me I’ve made a good run. Those curves on Hwy 23 in Arkansas at night are thrilling.
The pride of Spartanburg, SC. The music of my youth growing up.

Oh my goodness! FINALLY someone is bringing my favorite band up from those old dusty shelves! Loved them since the 70’s!
Was lucky enough to see these guys in concert along with the charlie daniels band and hank jr.. man what a show, Florence sc late 90s maybe 2000

Nothing but real musicians and real talent. MTB is just so damn good.

Nothing beats sitting by the fire pit on Friday or Saturday night with BPs reactions blasting.

My all time favorite Southern Rock song ♥️
Great reaction BP! Marshall Tucker, The Outlaws and Skynyrd are my 3 favorite Southern Rock bands
Them Good Ole South Carolina Boys ‘Nuff Said

Quality music all day long. 🎶
This IS a jam of JAMS!!! Gives you hope in life to overcome obstacles.. glad u enjoyed it...😊
I'm 69 and still love them and southern rock they are from South Carolina
*Fire On The Mountain* by The Marshal Tucker Band
Some many great covers of this song. It’s on my top 10 songs of all time.
I’m going to start calling you “BUTTER” Mr. Black Pegasus - because YOU are on a ROLL every time I turn around lately. Thank you for making yourself familiar with this classic tune from my youth. I’m 64. I wish we could have hung out in the 70s. It was a hell of a good time!
Lead singer and guitarist, Toy Caldwell, decorated marine in Vietnam.
Southern rock just like heavy metal, the instruments all sing a story as well.
Awesome southern rock band from South Carolina, my home as well. I was fortunate enough to see them live several times when I was in college. Talk about a good time , rocking with the MTB and being 19 years old. Great memories. Also Toy , the lead vocalist here in this song wrote this song when he was in Vietnam. He was a Marine , RIP Toy Caldwell
Great great song. Glad you chose to react to it.
As always a great reaction.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
So glad you are looking at these bands from the’70’s
Love this! You have to hear "Heard it in a love be song".
Ah man, just hearing this intro is making my day.
