After my divorce, the smear campaign, missing my kids half the week put me in a downward spiral. Quit the newspaper. Quit reading books. Quit television and movies. And last I gave up music. It all hurt too much. Months of hell and then I finally went out with friends. I went up to the jukebox out of habit. Played this song. People all around us started singing it. I started singing it. And right then I knew I was gonna be okay. This song means everything to me. It’s when I got my soul back.

This song was getting heavy airplay in 1975, when I was on the downside of a rollercoaster relationship in South Carolina (where the group was based, also my home state), and living in Georgia. No freight train was involved, and she wasn't really mean, it was complicated. So... I was living it and feeling this song bone deep, every time. BTW, no one in the band was named Marshall Tucker. They were thinking they needed a name, and they were renting space to practice in a warehouse (not far from where I was born), and the door key was inscribed "Marshall Tucker" - a piano tuner. They thought that sounded down home cool and used it.

This band is from my hometown, Spartanburg, SC. In high school my girlfriend and I rode my 125 cc dirt bike 60 back road miles to see their concert in Clemson, SC. The singer of this song Toy Caldwell isn't the lead singer of the band. The guy playing the Tambourine, Doug Gray is. You should check out other songs that he sings. He has an amazing voice. The Live version of Rambling, with Charlie Daniels on fiddle, will send chills down your spine. Toy's rough voice came from years of smoking cigarettes. Unfortunately he died of throat cancer. Toy was taught to play guitar by his grandfather who was a banjo player,not a guitar player. Thus Toy picks with his thumb like a banjo player. He was on the cover of ""Guitar Player"magazine as the best thumb picker. He was a Purple Heart decorated Vietnam Marine.

Never seen a flute in a song before? OK, then. Marshall Tucker Band brought Southern rock out of Spartanburg, South Carolina,.

Want to see a flute check out Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath. Not very often do you see playing a flute in Rock. His Wizardry is amazing.

[@reidadams4277]

Southern rock is so based in blues. My two favorite music genres.

[@allengator1914]

I partied with these guys at the Indianapolis Holiday Inn after their Easter concert in 1975 where they opened for Foghat. Foghat was staying in the same hotel and I got to meet them too. The Marshall Tucker Band definitely partied harder.

[@loveandfaith6517]

Marshall Tucker Band... early 70s. Another fine Southern Rock Band... thank you, so appreciated!

[@sean_b_drummer]

"Never seen a flute in Rock" You have GOT to check out, Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull! Note: it's not the name of any of the band members, but the name of the band. 😉😁

[@LJA46]

My first concert was The Cars, Thin Lizzy, Journey & The Marshall Tucker Band who were the headliners and they tore it up!

[@jeffthompson7952]

One of the best southern rock bands ever

[@vincentgrogan7611]

THAT WAS REAL CRISP FOR A LIVE VERSION....WELCOME TO SOUTHERN ROCK!!

[@paulthompson6873]

"A feathered Growl" brilliant discription. Thanks so much, guys I had forgotten about this band!!! You see you how we are all getting so much out of this! love you guys!

[@zappafan-eu4wp]

If you are looking for more flute in your music. Try Jethro Tull "Songs from the Wood"

[@timbillings6884]

👍👍Yes!!!

[@tankblack6758]

Great choice... Any Tull will do.

[@donnagonatas3155]

Absolutely! Locomotive breathe, Aqualung, cross eyed Mary. But you have to do a live video to see the craziest flute player! ✌❤

[@timbillings6884]

@@donnagonatas3155 Yes aqualung!!! 👍👍 Awesome.

[@ronniebeavers9222]

"Locomotive Breath" the live version, been suggesting that one since he reacted to Charlie Daniels

[@peggybrantly4919]

You gotta listen to Tracy Chapman's "Give me one Reason". She puts her soul into her music!!

[@craigreid7178]

I had the pleasure of opening for these guys in the mid '90s twice in my band. They were not only great but really nice guys to boot.

[@TrashWerewolf]

Wow!! Finally a reaction channel giving some love to Marshal Tucker Band!! One of the under-rated, unsung southern rock bands!!! These guys were great and this song is a perfect example!

[@jimearnest4342]

"fire on the mountain" "heard it in a love song" two more greats by marshall Tucker.

[@thebluemarvel1111]

When he says lawd its coming from a deep place

[@karenkinsman5643]

LOVE LOVE LOVE MARSHALL TUCKER!! Just saw them (for the 12th time??) this past Sunday!!! Try Fire on the Mountain!! So many great tunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See that guy playing the tambourine? That’s Doug Gray, and he took over lead vocals after this guy passed away.

Marshall Tucker Band had so many great songs. R.I.P. Tommy and Toy Caldwell

[@susanlindner8626]

My son, hubby & a friend play this song when we jam. I play the flute & bass on it. It's a fun song!!

[@827dusty]

Back to the 1970s, with some good old "Southern Rock/Blues. This is a heck of a song.

[@pmcclaren1]

These Southern boys can tear it up. Another song MY JESUS TOLD ME SO is incredible! Y'all do such another great job!

[@KWE.ECLECTIC]
