I met Toy in the mid seventies at an outdoor concert with Firefall and Elvin Bishop. The band while waiting their turn on stage, came over and introduced themselves to my cousin who was caring for her horses she boarded nearby. She outfitted all the band with horses to ride before going on stage, they thanked, then tipped her very generously...paid her feed bill for weeks. True southern gentlemen.
Every time I see Toy, all I can think of is the enormous amount of tragedy he had to endure and still keep going........ He was a a wonderful guitar player, a great songwriter, and a warmhearted man who passed way too soon.......
Met him and Waylon in 77. Dad was friends with Rick Hall and I remember when Rick said that I would remember shaking Hank jr's hand one day I did, toy and Waylon taught Hank Jr
@@crushsatan Yes, but that doesn't diminish the pure motives and heroism of the men who fight in those wars. If they knew the truth, they wouldn't enlist, but here we are.
@@dougodyssey50 I'm sure some of tbem had pure motives. Some might have been looking for some action. Some may have been afraid of going to jail if they said no. Some may have been afraid of being called a coward.
Toy Caldwell was a music legend. You can see in this interview he speaks completely at ease and he shares what he knows and is a humble man. Nothing but respect for the leader of my favorite band, MTB. To have his talent, to go through Vietnam, getting wounded, and to create some of the best music ever recorded and to still be a normal person shows the depth of character of this great man. Toy was simply, the best. Thanks to tuckertiger77 for posting. You made my day!

You are right about introducing a Jersey kid in the seventies to some country southern rock music! Thank you Toy for the great music, memories and serving our country......Thank you!
That boy played his ass off! I had the privilege to see the Marshall Tucker Band play one of the best sounding live shows ever, period (back when there were bands who were worth a damn). Toy rocked as hard as Hendrix, as bluesy as Clapton and as sweet and sophisticated as Chet Atkins. And too f#@%! many have never heard of him. An invaluable contribution to American music.
I remember seeing the Marshall Tucker at the University of Rhode Island late 70's, what a great concert so electrfying. Toy Caldwell amazing talent so much soul came out of him he is one of my all-time favorite guitar players.another legend in Rock n Roll heaven..
wow, Bobby Bare really focused on what's important to all ' musicians ' He did these interviews that educate everybody. He didn't do pap idiotic, 20 boring questions...He just went to the heart of the music's and musician's importance in life. His interviews are historical that way. and of course, Toy was great. and of course, Toy was great.
Thank you for this post. Marshall Tucker and Charlie Daniels are my favorite bands to this day. The day of Toy's passing was one of the saddest of my life. Thanks for all the joy growing up Toy.
I met Jimmy Hall at a Wet Willie show at the HOB in Myrtle Beach about 12 years ago. I asked him about Ronnie Van Zant. He told me that Ronnie was one of the greatest men he ever knew. He told me that when "Nuthin' Fancy" went gold, even though Skynyrd was playing on the West Coast, Ronnie hopped a plane and flew to NY where WW was playing, and gave Jimmy his gold record, then hopped back on a plane to California.
Since 1969 I've been a fan of jazz, and I thought nothing got any better. Then my buddy, a southern rock fan, put on some Marshall Tucker while we smoked some herb. And I was hooked. Along with the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band were about as polished and sophisticated as any rock band out there and Toy Caldwell was a big part of that. I swear before my God that Toy could have moved into jazz without any problem whatsoever had he been inclined. He was that good.
Thank You for posting this interview. From my teen years on to now I have been an orginal fan of the Caldwell brothers especially Toy. They called it Country we called it Southern Rock. Whatever you call it. It was Awesome!!!
Wow, Jimmy’s voice is just terrific! I just love the man. I saw him in a bar in Bowling Green, OH. Must have been 6 people there. He walked in, no band, he used the opening act. What a performance! Incredible. Just seems like a wonderful guy.
MTB most definitely belongs in the R&R Hall of Fame. Them and The Allman Brothers and early Charlie Daniels Band had such a great sound. Nobody else was blending Rock and country with jazz and blues and it sounds like it would be a mish mash of music but they all make it sound so unique. That was a great era for music. Never be another like it.
Alright!! I'm from Greenville as well. My first memory of the MTB, was listening to Heard It In A Love Song in late 70s. I'm too young to have seen them live in that era, but since then, I've become a huge fan of all their music. Great musicians, who had a variety of influences including jazz. I did meet Paul Riddle when I was a kid and he couldn't have been nicer. They were professional and you can tell they worked hard at their craft. MTB did not just phone it in. They paid their dues.
I think they definitely fit into the 70's music. When I moved to California in 1978, I met many people who were fans and loved their music. The one other big name out of SC was James Brown. He and MTB made us proud with their wildly popular music. I'm pretty old so I can get away with that comment :-) To this day though, my personal favorite album is their first. " Can't You See" was perfect and the other songs on that album rocked too.
I saw Jimmy Hall play not long ago and man, he still has IT! Holy cow does he ever put on a show! When Jack Pearson sits in with him on guitar it's just like magic!!
Nice shout-out to Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys around 1:45. I was quick to hear that Western Swing style on the early MTB recordings, and this interview confirms it.
Marine Corps, Vietnam Vet, Wounded in Action, told he could return to USA because of his injuries, said no, and returned to the battle field. Hero. National Defense Service Medal Vietnam Service Medal Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal Letter of Commendation Purple Heart Medal Good Conduct Medal
This is how I want to remember Toy. He's happy and he's so healthy looking. It's like he's being appreciated and loved by Bobby and it obviously is a joy for Toy. It is my wish that the music will live on and that many budding young guitar players will discover the absolute excellence of Toy's playing and writing. Toy was a real force that should be revered and elevated especially in the 2020's where there seems to be a musical wasteland. BTW, I saw Wet Willie at Birmingham's Boutwell auditorium in like '72 when they only had two albums out. Lynyrd Skynyrd was wholly unknown at this point and opened for Wet Willie. Jimmy Hall is a treasure himself. I've always loved Wet Willie and I think Drippin' Wet is the greatest unknown live rock album of the 70's. I still think at 5:00 on Fridays Weekend is the official kick it off anthem which should be followed by Blackberry Smoke's "Feel A Good One Comin' On". Now that gets my weekend started. Please check out Wet Willie's "Left Coast Live" for a true forgotten gem.
I appreciate the way you see Caldwell. I see him in a different light. My grandma and grandpa were Hank Sr fans. I found Caldwell through the marine corps
Thanks for posting this! I grew up in Greenville SC, about 30 miles from Spartanburg. Used to go see MTB when they were just starting out. They would always steal the show.Some of the best music ever!
Toy was such an awesome artist, and American hero. His brother's death from all accounts I've read, literally took the life out of him, and he became a shell of man walking through the rest of his life. Marshal Tucker forever.
My mom went to school with him and his brother, ...in fact toy and my mom were sweet hearts as they used to say.. he stopped by to visit my mom years ago.. I've always wished I had been there when he stopped by to to visit her.. she also worked at the hospital when they had that horrible crash in the city of spartanburg,, she had no clue who it was at the time because it was that bad... such a tragic loss for their family and all their fans..
I saw Jimmy Hall and Wet Willie play in the Greensboro Colesium in 1974, they opened up for Grand Funk Railroad that year...I had never heard of them, we were there to see GFR, but I will say this: Wet Willie and Jimmy Hall were fantastic that night as well!!! I had never heard this song, I was 16 years old that night, and that song put goosebumps on me....Jimmy was excellent, he sings with his heart....
I grew up outside of Memphis in the 1970's and '80's and was a rock fan and my friends and me all loved Southern Rock. The Marshall Tucker Band is still played on classic rock radio stations to this day and every rock 'n' roll fan I know has heard of The Marshall Tucker Band. The Country fans of today don't even know they existed.
Toy was a national treasure but I might add that Jimmy Hall's performance of Keep on Smilin' in the second half of this video is terribly impressive. He carried that whole song from start to finish. His voice is magnificent, even in the higher registers. And even when he isn't singing, he's playing that harp. The guy's talents know no bounds.
Saw The Marshall Tucker Band on The Fire On The Mountain Tour(1970's) at The Winterland Ballroom. My one and only concert at the iconic Bill Graham San Francisco concert venue. The Marshall Tucker Band were incredible, fabulous, amazing. The band smoked. Wet Willie was on before them. Amazing. A unknown Bill Graham managed act, Eddie Money was on second. Eddie and band were really good. The opener was a band called Earthquake from San Francisco. One of my best concerts ever. Seeing the Two Caldwell Brothers perform together was beyond special.
Toy and Marshall Tucker are American Treasure had the Extreme Pleasure of Meeting with Toy in Their early Days down in Austin being a veteran he made sure I didn't get some kind of a Superficial feeling. ..Angels are Singing Ol vet way down in TX
Obviously they were very important to the Southern rock genre and inspired country music to expand its horizon. What is your take on how they fit in to the music industry in the 70s? Would you consider MTB to be the greatest band to come out of South Carolina? I do. By a country mile. I'm proud of Hootie and the Blowfish, Darius Rucker and Edwin McCain. But they're not in the same league as MTB. MTB should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
I absolutely adore to Caldwell and always will. I absolutely adore his brother Tommy Jerry Eubanks, Paul Riddle, George McCorkle. They don’t make them like that no more. Caldwell in my opinion is the most awesome guitar player whoever lived.
Surprised that Toy didn't reference Skynyrd as "what happened to Southern Rock". Let's face it, 10/20/77 signified the end of Southern Rock. I know the MTB die hards might disagree. Not trying to take ANYTHING from the other great SR acts, they were all great!!
I think the name and or logo really is as important as the artists, cause I remember as a teenager, before i ever knew who they were, the first time I came across their album, their logo name flew out at me, and I said, I gotta listen to this, this some serious stuff here.

I HAVE SOME PICTURES OF ABBY& I WHEN WE TRAVELED TO THE SMOKEY MOUNTAINS with my grandparents. I'd like to send them to her , but I don't know how. I Truely miss all of them .
That blind man Marshall Tucker may never knew how his own name would carry on thru Toy and his musical genius. My grandfather was named General. That was his name. Where are all the young mother's out there to name their babies some really cool names like Marshall or General?
Tuckertiger is there anyway I could have a copy of this video? I'd like to have one in case this is ever lost on youtube or something like that just for personal enjoyment.
I met Toy in the mid seventies at an outdoor concert with Firefall and Elvin Bishop. The band while waiting their turn on stage, came over and introduced themselves to my cousin who was caring for her horses she boarded nearby. She outfitted all the band with horses to ride before going on stage, they thanked, then tipped her very generously...paid her feed bill for weeks. True southern gentlemen.

Most under rated guitarist of all time, I love MTB and Toy Caldwell.
Most common comment on UA-cam.
Toy enlisted ,went to Vietnam,, got injured, came back and healed-up and went back. He was a great American.
He was a national treasure. Pure American. Proud veteran of the Vietnam War.
So true and his 2 other brothers died with 1 month of each other.🙏🙏🙏
Met him and Waylon in 77. Dad was friends with Rick Hall and I remember when Rick said that I would remember shaking Hank jr's hand one day I did, toy and Waylon taught Hank Jr

Marshall Tucker Band - Straight outta Spartanburg, SC.

Nobody could touch them, it's 2017 and I still listen to them today, progressive rock was my thing then, and how I roll now.
