As a New Englander, we get a bit jaded around here. I find it really hard to take overblown (get it?) prognostications of foul weather very seriously. I distinctly remember one time it cost me dearly though. I was working in Framingham, MA and there was a big snowstorm in the offing. Why I went to the office that day I'll never know, but I think I was scheduled to have lunch with a friend of mine if memory serves. There was some kind of announcement at work and the office was closed by 11 AM. Everybody was scampering [...]

If there was ever a song to put a spring in your step, then this is it. It's 1974, it's the deep south, it's The Marshall Tucker Band. Yeehaw!
Blue Oyster Cult, Marshall Tucker Band Arena Theatre March 18, 2011 An odd co-headlining bill on the surface had the Marshall Tucker boys opening Friday's show. Though only singer Doug Gray rem... Continue reading "Friday Night: Blue Oyster Cult & Marshall Tucker Band At Arena Theatre" >
My dog died this weekend. 15 years old and as much of a trooper as you'd ever find. Full of heart and soul. Now this being a music site, not a dog site, I won't burden you with too many details of Kimo's passing, rather, we're going to talk about the album that found it's way onto my turntable the morning after Kimo's death. An album that filled that perfect chasm of being musically uplifting, nearly transcendent in it's melodic reach, yet still deeply mournful and somber, capable of pulling from my deadened heart every [...]
Today, one of country's best relationship-phobes turns 68. Ten songs to get hooked on... but not too hooked. I don't want no clingin' vine! You're smothering me!
(Note: drunk post) The blogger at A Truer Sound and I are trying to make Marshall Tucker a trending topic on twitter (#MarshallTucker), without spreading any rumors about death. Two jackasses twittering does not a trending topic make. Help please! The Marshall Tucker Band had its heyday in the 1970s with hits on both the rock and country charts. According to our friends at Wikipedia , they still tour and play about 150 to 200 gigs a year. In fact, they play tonight at the Youkey [...]
Ever since Roger Hoover and The Whiskeyhounds became The Magpies I've been pretty disappointed in the musical direction the band has taken. That said, I still check out anything new they release on the off chance they might recapture that Whiskeyhounds spirit I'd so loved. So, when I saw they had released a new album, Strangers , I decided to check it out. Right off the bat I recognized the songtitles "Vagabond" and "Blueberry Wine" as old Whiskeyhound songs and as the album played I quickly came to suspect that all the [...]
The apostrophe at the end tells it all. Lissie's recently released single, "Little Lovin'" is a solid artifact of post-millenial approximation of that wonderful era of country, the one that came after the seminal gents now thought of as "old country" - the kind hipsters feel comfortable hat-tipping on their facebook profiles - but before the CMT-driven new country dreck that polluted the airwaves in the 90s. As a track, "Little Lovin'" immediately earns "play on repeat" status for me. Twenty seconds in, you get a real good idea of what it is - a Marshall [...]

Hope to see everyone out at Whiskerino this weekend for some fine-follicled tomfoolery! Marshall Tucker Band "This Ol' Cowboy" from Where We All Belong Old 97's "Timebomb" from Clay Pigeons OST The Odd Numbers "Little Kings and Queens" from About Time Built To Spill "Aisle 13" from There Is No Enemy Dead Man's Bones "In The Room Where You Sleep" from [...]
Filed under: News Look for the Allman Brothers Band to duke it out in court next year with Universal Music Group to finally settle a dispute over unpaid royalties. According to the Wall Street Journal , a federal district judge ordered both parties to start gathering evidence for a jury trial planned for early 2010. The new development follows an August 2008 lawsuit that current and former members of the group -- Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, Jaimoe Johnson and Dickey Betts -- filed after the label refused to give [...]
The Allman Brothers Band The Warner/Reprise sampler series wouldn't have been the same without the contributions from Capricorn Records, the Macon, Georgia, label that put out down-home Southern rock. Phil Walden, who served as Otis Redding's manager until the singer's death in 1967, found this young Florida kid playing guitar and nutured the kid's talent into a rock band. That, of course, was Duane Allman and as the Allman Brothers Band took off Walden founded a record label with the blessing of Atlantic Records' Jerry Wexler (whose own label distributed Otis Redding). Capricorn [...]
(from wartheband.com ) When the Latin-funk-rock band War takes the Live Off The Levee stage on Saturday night, listeners no doubt will expect to hear many of the group's familiar songs from the 1970s. However, the group that will be pumping out renditions of tunes such as "Low Rider," "Why Can't We Be Friends," and "All Day Music" will feature just one musician who was part of War in their hit-making days. Keyboard player and singer Lonnie Jordan is the only original [...]
The Marshall Tucker Band - Can't you see I'm a bit confused... I could have sworn I heard this when I saw the arthouse knobfest movie Shortbus recently - I only recognised it coz someone had posted it on the DJH board and despite not being my habitual cuppa, it had struck me as a very beautiful song. There's something about the way the haunting flute rises up in the beginning and disarms you and eases you into the country-tinged, good ol' boys, southern rock of the rest of the [...]
Per Monday's Foamfoot post, in case anyone was in need of some perspective in regard to the band's set list and its significance (read: greatness), the following are the original tracks that the band covered at the 1994 Troubadour show. Oh, and as an extras treat, in keeping with the Faces related posts, watch [...]
I guess we who take the highway are a different breed of men with a special kind of feeling for the ones who we call friend. It's a late night conversation in a thousand hotel rooms or an arm around your shoulder when the morning comes too soon. It'a flood in Sacramento or a blizzard in St. Paul and it takes a tough old soldier to keep going through it all. But we're not much more than human, when we lose one of our own Now there's one [...]
Editor's note: Today is the first official day of summer. That always makes me sad because it means that from here on out, everything begins to wind down and shorten. But hey, let's not dwell on it. Summer is here and it seemed only right to include a summer songs post to celebrate. The latest comes from Los Angeles writer Daniel Chamberlin . I've known Dan ever since the days when both of us were at URB Magazine and he was definitely some of the editors I've enjoyed working with the most. [...]
7 Means of Movement: Riding The Byrds, Chestnut Mare. Al Duffy and Tony Mottola, Light Cavalry Overture. R.E.M, Bandwagon. When the Man and the Dog came back from hunting the Man said, "What is Wild Horse doing here?" And the Woman said, "His name is not Wild Horse any more, but the First Servant, because he will always carry us from place to place to place for always and always and always.
