The Marshall Tucker Band "A New Life"

- Perhaps the only reason that A New Life isn't quite as memorable as its self-titled predecessor is that the band's debut was just so startling when it appeared. By the time New Life was issued in 1974, to the band's credit, it seemed like the Marshall Tucker Band sound had always been a part of America's rock & roll scene. New Life is earthier than the first album, and country music is less layered over by the trappings of jam-band rock. "Blue Ridge Mountain Sky" is only eclipsed by Dickey Betts' "Ramblin' Man" as the ultimate road song from the period. Likewise, the pedal steel blues of "Too Stubborn" echo an earlier era altogether, as the ghost of Bob Wills comes into Toy Caldwell's songwriting. The whining guitars and lilting woodwinds of the title track bring the jazzier elements in the band's sound to the fore and wind them seamlessly into a swirling, pastoral country music. The Muscle Shoals horns lend a hand on the Allman Brothers' Brothers and Sisters-influenced "Another Cruel Love," and guest Charlie Daniels' fiddle cooks up a bluegrass stew on "24 Hours at a Time." The sound is fantastically balanced and warm, and like its predecessor, this album has dated very well.

My Dad would play this album a lot! He’s no longer with us but this entire album sticks with me and I’m reminded of good memories. Miss you Dad!
Some things don't age, not like me. This is the song that sucked me right into listening to Marshall Tucker Band. Still sounds just as fresh to my ears as it did in the mid 70's!
MTB and Elvin Bishop '75 live. Joyous. Still as fresh as ever today😊
One band I would love to see in concert...They have been in my life so long.....truly an honor to see....
Penny I saw them back in the day and have been a huge fan 😀
They were a true concert band.
Music, non of the blow it up, flame thrower bs.
Got stage, played their tunes.
Did a lot of albums in not that long of time. All worth hearing.
Got a lot of good to say in lyrics.
Down to earth.
I'm a better man for having heard their albums. Before you judge, 1st judge yourself. Like what ya see, don't change it. Don't like it change.
You tell just from music, good people.
Toy was at least bronze star winner. means you think about others before yourself in time of crisis. Good soul. Dedicated lp
Must here. Always pull out the song dedicated for a listen when I lose a loved one. Cry.
Many lately. It's what happens when you have had the privilege to live this long.
But does put my spirits in perspective. They are important part of life & my soul. I'm blessed. Thank you Marshall Tucker Band.
Saw the MTB at the Birmingham Odeon around 1976. They were just awesome.
Saw in 1975 in OKC, OK. Still have 6 cd's of them in my p/u. I play them more than anybody else. I was Tuckerized a long time ago!
Saw them in Jacksonville, FL in early 1976 w/ The Outlaws at the old Jacksonville Coliseum. Helluva concert!
Memories of my youth ✌️
Blessings from Georgia 🙏
I got to see them twice. Once with the Allmans and Elvin Bishop and later that same year with Lynard Skynard and Elvin Bishop at Mile high stadium and Denver Coliseum. Great shows.I miss seeing all those great concerts back then. It's a gone era for sure. Rock on.
I've never seen a band more times than MTB so it seems odd I've never heard of this album. Seen them in Syracuse about 10 times, Owensboro KY, Houston ,TX, Evansville IN. . Not worth going to anymore bit back in the day they were the best. Doug Gray's voice is shot and as I understand Eubank has left again. Not the same band from the 70's/
No original members left but they STILL play MTB very well I might add ........ Been a fan for many many years went and seen a show one night way up on the North side of Houston they played there I went backstage I got the party with them 3:00 in the morning I'm out on the curb trying to find me a ride home and who else it's going to pull up and offer me a ride all of the guys in the limo took me all the way home to my doorstep they are a great bunch of Musicians!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE MTB! Saw them last at Englishtown 1977 with the Dead...best show ever!
Fantastic album...bought it the same day as 'Highway Call'...
Never heard this one before tonight. What a great song!
Love these guys great songs but to me this is the best one.
Thanks to my brother to showing me great song I had never heard.
mtb has an astonishing talent...
Once begun you can't stop listen to such unbelievable synthesis of rock, jazz, blues, country, folk...
Theres some really fucking good riffs on this album. Honestly an underrated band. When you bring up Southern Rock ofc everyone either brings up Lynyrd Skynyrd because they sold the most or The Allman Brothers because they were technically the first even though CCR and Jackson Browne alreayd probably wouldve headed in that direction but you never hear nearly enough about The Marshall Tucker Band. The Outlaws,Ursula Creek,Blackfoot,Molly Hatchet,Black Oak Arkansas,and Atlanta Rhythm Section also get criminally undercut. Black Oak Arkansas are probably one of the trippiest and heaviest bands of all time too tbqh and The Outlaws abd Blackfoot weren't bad in that regard for that time either.
Band of my youth. Riding in my '69 Chevy truck listening through the night on my way to Port O'Connor fishing. From Fort Worth.
What a band !🎉
Some good things came out of 70’s. Going to a Marshal Tucker concert on Long Island was one , keep the bong going!
And a new life is gonna be mine.
Seen them Boys in the late 70s .....in concert at the then Asheville Civic Center in North Carolina. Really good ....Toy ....I guess singer ..had big ass White Cowboy Hat on. Moving around and round as I Held my Toke for as long as possible...... Whoa!!!!! Thats it. Lol. The 1970s. God Bless those Days Brother. Peace to all of you all. Phil Case
I was raised on this shit & going back to the day.the wild west
Epic!
Saw them open for the Guess Who in 1973, Selland Arena, Fresno, California. Nobody had ever heard of them except I had heard a one song on the radio that the dj had played once so people would know what to expect. The song was Take the Highway. I told my friends they were sorta like the Allman Bros. They stole that show.
Sounds like heaven.
Saw them warm up Allman's in the mid 70's in Portland OR and they brought the house down. Their energy was just incredible!
I joined the navy it 73 still loving MT today!
Time don't pass by here anymore who wrote it what album is it on please reply broken 💔 need to know😊😢
The guitar solo sounds as if were beamed down from space by the Great Electric Hillbilly in the Sky.
❤
Hey, mister, got a road map?
I'm kinda lost
Gotta get to Georgia tonight
Don't care what it costs
Been down in Denver jail for four long years
And I'm so homesick I could die
Got a sweet woman back home
Waitin there for me
Least in all her letters, Lord
She said she'd be
Waitin there with open arms
Born new life for me
And I'm so homesick I could die
Shot a man in Denver
Over some money owed
So she told me
That I had to go
But I paid my time
And a new life is gonna be mine
And a new life is gonna be mine
Fabulous. I sincerely wish to know the name of this genius singer.
Doug Gray
