This is stratospheric, new age music by Toy Caldwell And The Marshall Tucker Band . An ingenious amalgamation of Country, Folk , Blues , Classical.. Deserves to be remembered as a musical masterpiece. .
Probably the greatest song of all time. If you have ever loved and lost, you can feel this song right where it hurts the most. Toy Caldwell was a giant among men. Rest in peace, Good Sir.
Great selection Cynthia. The Marshall Tucker Band along with Lynyrd Skynyrd followed the trail blazed by The Allman Brothers Band in 1969 and 1970. Southern Rock was born. Love this song and I love your channel young lady. Be well, RNB
Hi Rick, I totally agree with you. I love Southern Rock as much as you do ! Have you ever heard of the current world's best Southern Rock band ? Check out my suggestion to Cynthia from Robert Jon & The Wreck, they are awesome !
@@wgdavis5353 Yeah W G I remember getting my heart ripped out and spat on too. Fortunately soon after, Mrs. RNB entered my life. 42 years later, we're still going strong. Take care my friend, RNB
The Caldwell brothers were from Moore South Carolina about 30 miles from where I live and I have always had kin living in Moore and would ride by an old two story brick school house that they used to rehearse in and recorded some of their songs in back in the early 70's. I remember hearing on the radio years ago back in the 70's also of Toy Caldwell being interviewed and he mentioned the old Schoolhouse that they turned into a recording studio. He also told the story of how they got their band name on an old interview he was doing on the Bobby Bare Show and Bobby ask him how they got the name Marshall Tucker Band and ask if there, "is a real Marshall Tucker?" Toy said, "yea, he was a blind man that tunes pianos in Spartanburg and one night about a week before the Marshall Tucker band was formed, we had a gig and we didn't have a name for our band. " He went on to say that they rented a place from Marshall Tucker to practice and on the keychain was the name, "Marshall Tucker" He said, that name for the band was, "As good as any. And that was the name of the band." Critics, told the band that a flute in a Southern Rock Band won't work, but they tried it out and that became their trademark. That flute gave a lot of their songs a very unique sound that caught on and is classic to hear to this day. Also, notice Toy playing his lead guitar with his thumb instead of a pick. Very rare.
I subscribed right away as this group and this song was my favorite in that era. Thank you for being willing to explore music from back then. It’s so lovely to hear it again 🔥
Wow u sure are coming out with some great sections. Yes southern rock was awsome back then. 38 special. Molly hachett. Good groups. On a side note. Have you heard anything from the eagles. Try hotel California Maryland 77. Your comments at the end. Well intriguing.
Hi my dear... wow 1 You keep reacting to more and more Southern / Country Rock bands of the 70s,, which I really, really love ! This band is another example of a great Southern Rock band, having loads of good songs to listen to, like Lyńyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, and many others. I really enjoyed this video as much as you did. I can only recommend again to react to the current world's best Southern Rock band, which I really love and have seen live several times already... Please react to : Robert Jon & The Wreck - Cold night (Live DJE Quarantine Sessions) and I'm sure you'll love this one as well. Hugs and kisses from your dear friend Gerry
Toy served as a Marine in Vietnam, the song is a reflection on seeing his men get Dear John letters... RIP Marine.
Thank you for not only listening the great sound quality but the real meaning. This man was injured in war only to come home to indifference.

Thanks for the heads up Gerry. I will check them out. Take care my friend, Rick
Ok Gerry
Thanks for the suggestion 🤗
RIP Toy
LOVE it
Love your music choices, love your comments, love the diff'rent looks you have. Stay cool.
Thank you! Will do!
Toy Caldwell ( the singer) was thumb picker. He didn't use a guitar pick.
Tommy played with his thumb as well - "The Thumb Brothers".
Wow
It's really sad
Can’t beat Southern Rock!!
Train Train was a serious rocker by Black Foot Marshall Tucker was also amazing. Molly Hatchet was amazing Southern rock, too.
Knew them when they were called the toy factory and did covers. SC boy
Love how the flute kicks off the tempo
Ms. Ambrose. I would love to put on my boots, and ask you for this dance. T.U.
