Biography

Spartanburg SC, United States (1972 – present)

The Marshall Tucker Band is a Southern rock band.

Originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina, the band formed in 1972, and soon signed with Capricorn Records. In 1973 they released their first EP, simply titled ‘The Marshall Tucker band.

Compared to pioneers and label-mates The Allman Brothers Band, Marshall Tucker had a more country and western feel, with the being a key lead instrument in their sound. “Can’t You See”, “Fire on the Mountain”, and “This Ol’ Cowboy” are among their songs that received appreciable FM radio airplay, while “Heard It in a Love Song” made it to #14 as a single on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977.

Original bassist Tommy Caldwell died in a car crash on April 28, 1980. His brother, guitarist Toy Caldwell, died of respiratory failure on February 25, 1993.

The Marshall Tucker Band still plays up to 150 shows in a year. They are currently with Ramblin’ Records.

There was no band member named “Marshall Tucker”. Originally, the band called itself The Toy Factory (named after lead-guitarist Toy Caldwell). But by the time the band released its first album they had become the Marshall Tucker Band. During a radio interview in Hempstead, NY in 1973, Tommy Caldwell explained the origins of the band’s name:

“There’s an old blind dude that tunes pianos, and his name is Marshall Tucker…

    Hello Music Fans! That shout just before this is a tough one to follow, but here goes...I've been leading several groups here on lastfm for a while, but I don't have the time to lead them anymore. I just abdicated leadership of Gov't Mule and The Movie Group. I'd like to find new leaders for Robert Cray and Concert Stories and The Marshall Tucker Band. If you'd like to lead one, let me know with a message or post in the group shoutbox. These groups deserve leaders who will take an active role in leadership.

    This group is a must have and my library would not be complete with this original and kick ass band that has been with me for 30 + years now. I have to have them. Awesome and my play doesn't reflect that yet.
