After Tommy Caldwell was killed in a car accident in 1980, he was replaced by bassist Franklin Wilkie. Most of the original band members had left by 1984.[2]The band's current line-up consists of Gray on vocals; keyboard player, saxophonist and flautist Marcus James Henderson; guitarists Chris Hicks and Rick Willis, bassist Ryan Ware and drummer B.B. Borden.[3]
Origin of the name
editThe "Marshall Tucker" in the band's name does not refer to a band member, rather to a blind piano tuner from Spartanburg.[4]While the band was discussing possible band names one evening in an old warehouse they had rented for rehearsal space, someone noticed that the warehouse's door key had the name "Marshall Tucker" inscribed on it, and suggested they call themselves "The Marshall Tucker Band," not realizing it referred to an actual person. Later it came to light that Marshall Tucker, the piano tuner, had tuned a piano in that rented space before the band and his name was inscribed on the key.[5]Music historianJoel Whitburnerroneously attributes "Marshall Tucker" to the owner of the band's rehearsal hall in his bookTop Pop Singles, 1955-2002.[6]The piano tuner "Marshall Tucker" died on January 20, 2023, at age 99.[7]At the time it was reported that he supported the band’s use of his name and that he was "proud of them as long as they were good boys and played good music".[8]
History
editEarly history
editThe original members (and some later members) of the Marshall Tucker Band had been playing in various line-ups under different band names around the Spartanburg area since the early 1960s. In 1966 members of several such bands merged to form the Toy Factory, named after guitarist Toy Caldwell. The Toy Factory's constantly shifting line-up included, at various times, Caldwell, his younger brother Tommy, Doug Gray, Jerry Eubanks, George McCorkle and Franklin Wilkie. In the late 1960s, four of the band members served in the US military;[9][10][11]Toy Caldwell served in the Marine Corps and received a Purple Heart after being wounded inVietnam.[12]
By the 1970s, Toy Caldwell and George McCorkle had returned to Spartanburg and the Toy Factory had resumed playing in area clubs.[13]
In 1972 Caldwell and McCorkle once again revamped the band's line-up, eventually settling on Tommy Caldwell on bass/backing vocals, George McCorkle rhythm guitar/banjo, vocalist Doug Gray and Jerry Eubanks, keyboards/flute/tenor sax/backing vocals, while adding Paul Riddle on drums; the new line-up adopted the name "Marshall Tucker Band".Wet Willielead singerJimmy Halltold Toy Caldwell to book the band at Grant's Lounge inMacon, Georgia,which he did. After hearing the band play at Grant's Lounge, Buddy Thornton andPaul Hornsbyrecorded the band'sdemoatCapricorn Studios.Frank FenterandPhil Waldensigned the Marshall Tucker Band toCapricorn Recordsbased on those demos.
1970s
editThe Marshall Tucker Band'sself-titled debut,produced byPaul Hornsby,was released in 1973 and certified gold in 1975.[14]All of the tracks were written by Toy Caldwell, including "Can't You See"which was also lead sung by Toy, and released as a popular single in 1973 and re-released in 1977, generating much FM airplay and becoming the group's best known song. After the album's release, the band began touring, playing upwards of 300 shows per year throughout the decade.[14]Southern rock fiddlerCharlie Danielslater recalled that the Marshall Tucker Band "came onstage and just blew it out from start to finish."[15]
Daniels' first of many collaborations with the Marshall Tucker Band came on the band's second album,A New Life,[15]which was released in 1974, and certified gold in 1977.[14]Daniels and blues guitaristElvin Bishopwere among several musicians that joined the band forWhere We All Belong,[15]a double-album (one studio album and one live album) released by the band in 1974 and certified gold that same year.
The following year the band'sSearchin' for a Rainbowwas also certified gold the year of its release, and contained the track "Fire on the Mountain,"which peaked at No. 38 on theBillboard charts.Long Hard Ride,the band's fifth consecutive gold album, was released in 1976,[15]and its instrumental title track (which again features Charlie Daniels on fiddle) was nominated for aGrammy.[16]
Carolina Dreams,released in 1977 and certified platinum that same year, proved to be the band's most commercially successful album, and included the track "Heard It in a Love Song",which reached No. 14 on the Billboard charts.[14]And the band's final Capricorn release came with 1978'sTogether Forever,which was produced byStewart Levine.[15]
Following the bankruptcy of Capricorn, the Marshall Tucker Band moved toWarner Bros. Recordsin 1979 for their ninth album,Running Like the Wind(the band's eighth release was a compilation album entitledGreatest Hits), and they retained Levine as the album's producer.
In August 1979, the band played atKnebworth Festivalin England.Led Zeppelinwas the headline act at both of their festival appearances.[17]
1980s
editOn April 22, 1980, following the completion of the band's tenth albumTenth,bassist and co-founder Tommy Caldwell suffered massive head trauma in a car wreck and died six days later. Former Toy Factory bassist Franklin Wilkie replaced Caldwell for their next album,Dedicated(1981), but the band was never able to recapture its commercial success of the 1970s.
On 1982'sTuckerized,which featured Ronnie Godfrey, who joined them as an additional keyboardist, only two songs were written by band members; "Sea, Dreams & Fairy Tales" by Toy Caldwell and "Sweet Elaine" by George McCorkle. And main songwriter Toy Caldwell only contributed three songs to each of their next two albums, both released in 1983;Just UsandGreetings from South Carolina.Afterwards, all the rest of the original band members split in June 1984, except for Doug Gray and Jerry Eubanks.[1]
During the summer of 1984, MTB toured with a revamped lineup featuring Gray, Eubanks, Spartanburg guitarist Rusty Milner and new Nashville players: Bob Wray (bass),James Stroud(drums), Kenny Mims (guitar) andBobby Ogdin(keyboards). But in 1985, Wray, Stroud and Mims were replaced respectively by session veteranTom Robb(fromLeslie West's Wild West Show), Stuart Swanlund (guitars, slide guitar, pedal steel guitar, vocals) and David "Ace" Allen (drums).
In 1988 Gray and Eubanks released the albumStill Holdin' On,their one and only release on the Mercury Records label, which had been recorded mostly back in 1985 in Nashville with the 84/85 mostly Nashville players lineup.
Bassist Tim Lawter joined in 1987, and the other newer members: Rusty Milner, Stuart Swanlund and "Ace" Allen (including newly added, in 1989, keyboardist Don Cameron) had a much greater role on the band's 1990 album,Southern Spirit,released on the Sisapa label. The album marked a return to the band's country and blues roots.[18]
1990s
editIn 1992 the Marshall Tucker Band produced its first album for the Cabin Fever label,Still Smokin'.Just after the album's recording, drummer David "Frankie" Toler (ex-Allman Brothers Band) replaced Allen on drums and Mark Pettey replaced Don Cameron later that same year on keyboards.
The band's 1993 release,Walk Outside the Lines,marked a transition to a more country sound, relying less on long improvised jams that were the trademark of the band's early career.[19]The album's title track was co-written by country music starGarth Brooks,a long-time fan of the band who considered writing a track for them a "milestone" in his career.[14]
The band added Spartanburg-area guitarist Ronald Radford in 1993 to 1995 after Swanlund suffered a hand injury, and Radford appeared on 1998'sFace Down In the Blues,along withFirefall's multi-instrumentalist David Muse, the latter replacing Jerry Eubanks who had retired in 1996. But Swanlund was back in the band from 1995 till his death in 2012 and Muse was there from 1996-2000, then again in 2003-2009.
Garry Guzzardo replaced drummer Toler in 1994-1996 and was succeeded by current drummer B.B. Borden (ex-Mother's Finest) in 1997, guitarist Chris Hicks joined in 1996, after a long stint in theOutlaws,and keyboardist Paul Thompson (who came in after Pettey left) was briefly a member in 1994, but was dropped pretty soon after and not replaced. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1999.[20]
Gospel,the band's 1999 album, featured the band's rendition of traditional songs including"The Wayfaring Stranger","Will the Circle Be Unbroken",and several original tracks.
21st century
editClay Cook(saxophone, flute, keyboards, vocals) was a member from 2000-2009 and Dave Muse returned in 2003-2009 before being succeeded by current man Marcus James Henderson in 2009. Longtime bassist Tim Lawter was succeeded by Tony Heatherly in 2001, who turned it over to Pat Elwood in 2004. Guitarist Rusty Milner left in 2003 and Stuart Swanland was there on and off (his health permitting) from 1985 until his death on August 5, 2012 at age 54. The current guitarists are Chris Hicks (since 1996) and Rick Willis (since 2009) and bassist Tony Black was there from 2017-2019. Ryan Ware has occupied the bass chair since the band returned to the road in 2021, after theCOVID-19 pandemic.
The Marshall Tucker Band continued recording and performing into the 21st century, playing between 150 and 200 shows per year.[5]The band reissued many of its albums from the 1970s on its new Ramblin' Records label, as well as two two-disc compilations, the first (Anthology) being a 30-year retrospective and the second (Where a Country Boy Belongs) being a collection of the band's country songs. In 2004, they released another studio album,Beyond the Horizon,and the following year released a Christmas album,Carolina Christmas.In 2007 they released their newest studio albumThe Next Adventure.
"Can't You See'" was used for the opening and closing credits of theKevin Costner2008 motion pictureSwing Vote."Take the Highway" was also used in the movie.
"Can't You See" is also used in the 2001 filmBlowand the 2017 filmI, Tonya.
Musical style
editTommy Caldwelldescribed the Marshall Tucker Band's music asprogressive country,explaining that the band playedcountry musicstructures and riffs combined withjazzimprovisation upon which more complex structures were built from the country music foundation.[21]In 1977,Billboardidentified the Marshall Tucker Band as major performers of the genre.[22]Aside from progressive country, the band has also been categorized asSouthern rock,[23][24][25][26][27]blues rock,[28]country rock,[29]jazz rock,[29]and as a "proto-jam band".[28]Billboardcharts have categorized the band as country, blues andadult contemporary.[24]
The band has incorporated throughout its career elements of diverse genres into its sound, most frequentlyblues,[30][23][31][24]country[30][23][24]and jazz.[30][24]The band has also drawn fromboogie,[31]psychedelic,[32]R&B,[32]gospel,[32]folk,[32]androck and roll.[23]According toAllmusic's Jeff Tamarkin, Toy Caldwell's guitar playing style was categorized by "flashy, jazzy licks"; the band has also been noted for extensivejamming.[28]The Marshall Tucker Band's use of instruments like flutes and saxophones, as well as their fusion of rock instrumentation and country melodies, set them apart from other Southern rock bands.[33]
Remembering the early years in 2012, Doug Gray describes the band as being like ''a bowl of soup like your mom would cook. Whatever was in the refrigerator was all thrown in there, and however it tasted was what it was.'' As Gray remarks, the result was so eclectic that the press didn't really know what to make of them as they failed to fit neatly in any pigeonhole.[34]
