Free Music Notes for Anthology: The First 30 Years

Free Music Review: Southern Rock At Its Best
Hit: 5 Stars

At the risk of offending all you Southern Rock fans out there, MTB was, in my opinion, the BEST Country Rock band of the era. Their first three albums (Self-titled, A New Life and Where We All Belong) are the Holy Trinity of Southern Rock. If you want the best of MTB you can't go past these 3 albums then you can dip your toes into their other Capricorn albums at your leisure. The Capricorn albums are their best, especially those recorded before the death of co-founder and criminally under-rated bass player, Tommy Caldwell. The band blended elements of country, jazz and blues into their superb material, written in the main by Toy Caldwell, guitarist extrordinaire. Their biggest hit, "Heard It In A Love Song", is not one of their stongest numbers but it allowed them to keep on going for which we all must be grateful. This Anthology album is a fair representation of their work over a very long period of time and is the album to get if you wish to own just one album. It misses many of their better songs but has to include some of their longer jam tracks which cuts down the number of tunes one can squeeze onto a double CD. There are, in fact, quite a few glaring omissions. Their "Capricorn Years" Anthology is probably a better buy but it is currently out of print and even it has its faults; too many single/edited versions. This all means that there is still not a definitive MTB Anthology album out there. The perfect Anthology/Box Set would include most of their first 3 albums, a heaping of their best from the rest of the Capricorn material and a sampling of their later material. All this should be Remastered. Include a comprehensive booklet with all the original album artwork (superb) and a concert DVD which shows Toy Caldwell playing up a storm. This would be about a 4 disc set at less than $50 and would be a fitting tribute to one of the greatest bands of the last 30 years.

Anthology: The First 30 Years Poster

The first collection to feature hits from their entire career!

Along with Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band is the definitive Southern rock band. Over their storied career, they?ve seamlessly blended rock, country, jazz, pop, blues and soul into a beguiling blend of the best music that The South ? and America ? has to offer. The 2-disc Anthology is the first collection to pull together the highlights from their 30-year career.

It contains not only their biggest hits?"Fire On The Mountain," "Heard It In A Love Song," "Last Of The Singing Cowboys," "Can?t You See," "Take The Highway"?but also such fan favorites as "Where A Country Boy Belongs," "I Should Have Never Started Lovin? You," and "Cattle Drive." Since MTB?s on-stage prowess is legendary, a live video clip has been included as a bonus.

There have been plenty of attempts to anthologize this venerable Southern band's extensive catalog, but this is the first one to get it right. Spreading 32 tracks from just over 30 years of albums across two discs, the immaculately sequenced compilation plays like a well-conceived piece. From the flute-dominated "Take the Highway," the opening cut of their 1973 debut, the Marshall Tucker Band avoided the typical Southern-boogie-rockin'-guitar path later epitomized by their more rowdy brethren the Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Molly Hatchet. Rather, Tucker presented a more laid-back, country-based approach, highlighted by the jazzy playing of woodwind player Jerry Eubanks and drummer Paul Riddle.

Although the Capricorn/Warner Bros. decade that ended in 1983 accounts for the bulk of these selections, the last half of the second disc presents a revamped lineup led by sole original member/lead singer Doug Gray, continuing the musical legacy with remarkably engaging results. The 24-page booklet featuring a detailed history, a live CD-ROM track, and crisply remastered sound further enhance the experience that finally bestows upon this underrated band the comprehensive, classy, and long-overdue retrospective it deserves. --Hal Horowitz
