Gov't Mule w/Charlie Starr ~ Can't You See

Marshall Tucker came out with this in 1973. This song is 44 years old and still destroys most music today. Quality never goes out of style.

Saw Marshall Tucker 74 at Ozark Music Fest, Sedalia,Mo 3 days 500k they played Sunday 105• degrees ,the last day! Skynrd,Aersomith etc Peace

I’m not a music historian but it seems the most durable music in America all hails from the south. Blues, southern rock and country. It captures the spirit of our nation like nothing else.

[@woodymoose5174]

+madcapper6 - Agree 100%! I miss the original Marshall Tucker Band with Caldwell Brothers (RIP and thanks!) Loved having them opening for The Grateful Dead at the Meadowlands and Englishtown awhaile back! This is my favorite MTB tune of all and they nailed it for sure! I think Warren Haynes is presently "THE BEST" guitar player and song writer along with his versatility doing cover songs of the best bands from the 1960's to 1980's! The Man has so much energy going on especially in the last 20 years playing in his and Woody's Gov't Mule. Also, The ABB, The Warren Haynes Band with presently the best tenor saz player around, Ron Holloway! Throw in the touring years with The Dead, The Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration shows with Warren playing Jerry's guitar "Wolf" & with the Boston Pops Orchestra Shows, and currently Warren Haynes and The Ashes & Dust Band touring! Amazingly talented and energized man who I hope has a very long life giving all of us such Great Music!
