In My Own Way LIVE Toy Caldwell Band Upper Saddle Creek

[@brittonballenger3214]

Simply BEAUTIFUL . R.I.P. TOY . YOU ARE MISSED BY ALL OF US THAT KNEW YOU !!!!

[@billyboy1093]

He carried a huge burden losing two brothers back to back after surviving that horrible war. We were fortunate to have him as long as we did. RIP Toy!

[@larryworkman1131]

Miss these good ole boys. Saw them several times in concert in the 70s when both Toy n Tommy Caldwell were still alive. They could play that southern rock.

[@homefries55]

The Real Deal..When the Brothers brought Marshall Tucker to New York, we were there at Madison Square Garden.. As soon as Toy took off on his First Solo, we all looked at each other, and instantly knew there was a new Gunslinger in town, that could run with anyone.. A true American Original..RIP Brother Toy.. we are still listening

[@dr4963]

Nothing even comes close to Toy and his generation of American country music!!

[@davidtalkington7975]

AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE I WILL KEEP YOUR MUSIC ALIVE THE BEST WAY I KNOW HOW!!!!!!!

[@rogrog9103]

Can’t get enough of those caldwell boys...RIP Toy and Tommy!!

[@johnsullivan6756]

This is about as good as it gets to great music

[@charlesclute1946]

When were there you get it

[@timcarruthers5415]

I used to cruise in my 74 Z28 and listen to Marshall Tucker Band on 8 Track. That was in 1979. I didn’t realize just how good of musicians they were. Absolutely Fantastic! Wish they were All still with us!

[@jamespratt6587]

Wirhout a doubt the most beautiful song ever!!! What a talent Toy Caldwell was. Just listen to his voice and even better his guitar solo. Thank God I was alive to hear this incredible man play this song!!!

[@davidtalkington7975]

Thank You Toy. You and your band will always be the defining of my life in the 70's . May you walk with God and his son. Even now you bring the nostalgia of past times that have made me who I am today. I will always love you as a brother in arms as well as in spirit. RIP Bro.

[@qcc5]

I am 71 years old, and saw the MTB in the 70's. I will never forget it. I listened to them every day, commuting to work, and every night partying with my friends. I know the words to every song. I have played in many bar bands, and Can't You See was, and still is, required for every show. Toy's finger picking created a very unique sound (Mark Knopfler). His leads are reckless but beautiful (like Neil Young). Still in my top 5 bands of all time.

[@587G]

MTB.... THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC AND MEMORIES, SINCE 1974 FOR ME!! R.I.P. TOY, TOMMY & GEORGE!! Seen you many times and back in the 70's driving 8 hours back n forth to school, beer between my legs, listening on TDK & MAXELL cassette tapes I made... of you fellas. Such great times, you'll always be my favorite band

[@daronledonledon3036]

Yes definitely without a doubt toy Caldwell needs to be put into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame👍👍

[@CuttingEdgetools]

This Song is my 2nd favorite by Toy. It is so pure from the Heart. You can hear Gods love pouring out of Toys Vocals and guitar. My favorite is Desert Sky’s. So blessed to see the Tucker band live on their first west coast tour. 73/4. One of my favorite Guitarist and songwriters. RIP Boys ❤️🇺🇸

[@shovelhead56]

Mine Too!

[@davidtalkington7975]

I always regretted not meeting you. I was thirty when you passed. Then I realized that I did meet you. I met you in your music. Your music was from your spirit.

[@Woodtoter]

One of the very best Southern Guitar players,, just great. Never again. RIP froend

[@johnnyjohnson6014]

Goosebumps. Tears. I love Toy Caldwell.

[@ZootSuitCooter]

[@rogrog9103]

Man, there will never be anyone to come close to those caldwell boys!! Such great music...

[@georgeledon]

the mtb is part of me and my children, their music takes my heart to a place no one can reach. 🤗

[@franksrok5843]

56 years old. Stunning and beautiful. Great music. was a teenager when i first heard the greatness of the MTB and it has thankfully stayed with me. so good.

[@Spoonplugger]

1974, Mile High stadium. Went to see Alman Brothers. These cowboys played before. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Toy came back out and played with Dickie. That's where i heard Toy referred to as the fastest thumb in the south by Dickie. Got home and found their album and the rest is history. God love them cowboys!!!

[@markvelliquette1506]

What a beautiful version with Toy singing and playing that guitar. Such an underrated love song, but my all time favorite.So glad I found this version

[@billyboy1093]

My thoughts exactly, better than the original

You're too kind to share this BA, thank you kindly sir or maam! The chicken pickin's like no other. My your soul find peace Toy

[@jaxflfreebird]

I love Toy Caldwell and Tommy too even though I never met them. Or I just could say that the music of The Marshall Tucker Band spoke to me when I finally heard it. I got into live recordings of MTB via Allman Brothers Band traders and such. I had heard the band as a kid on 8 Track tapes my brother had played as he too me to school. As a kid I always made fun of my brother's music. I was so bad, just acting like a maniac, carrying on at the EMOTION displayed by acts such as Janis Joplin, 3 Dog Night, Jethro Tull, Skynyrd, MTB, Zep, etc. I heard a lot of classic rock by default because my brother wanted to be cool. I don't even know if he ever really liked a lot of what he was playing. He was just being contemporary. But my half- brother planted a seed in me and when I was a man I found out some of that music spoke to me and it meant quite a lot to me. I found out as time went on that Toy Caldwell was the heart and soul of the songs of the MTB. So through live recordings I studied MTB and the Toy Caldwell Band. All I can is I consider Toy and the MTB guys brothers, right there with the Skynyrd guys, ABB, Bad Co, etc. Thanks for touching my life with music.

[@mikemoore825]

Some of my most favorite Marshall Tucker songs never got much radio play but all of them were great songs

[@jessehandley1983]

One of my favorites and this version is wonderful. This song has been with me through three divorces and four pickup trucks and countless buckets of tears.

[@antonvrabel3521]

He was always AWESOME! Any thing he ever did was totally AWESOME! A.J."Tom" Vrabel, USAF MUSEUM MP...Vietnam War

[@johnnyjohnson6014]

I've played this song a thousand times, wore the disc out. It's like I'm hearing it for the first time again.

[@mags5459]

One of the greats. Thanks Toy. RIP

[@gavinfoster9118]

What a great rendition Thanks

[@melaniemartin5008]

Ive been listening to these boys from the beginning and i have NEVER heard that practically solo version of that song, one of my favorites! Outstanding!!

[@Holywood864]

Toy was the greatest 🎸

[@cosmogman]

Old veteran that’s still jamming to Toy and MTB. 50+ yrs.

[@user-gz8id4vf1i]

Damn...where did this music go? You just don't hear stuff like this anymore. Maybe in obscure little night clubs or a coffee house but it's very rare. I just seem a group a few weeks ago that started playing some southern rock tunes, the likes of Lynrd Skynrd and Allman Bros., I asked them did they know any Marshall Tucker or Toy Caldwell songs and they looked at me like a deer in the headlights! I asked them if they didn't know them they need to go back and study these awesome musicians.

[@whisky2roxy]

If they didn't know of Toy Caldwell, they know nothing about Southern Rock. They probably learned a few chords of Free Bird and Ramblin' Man. Pffffffft....

[@brendamilloy2557]

Oh. My. God. ❤

[@16240000]

Damn does this ever sound good. Thanks much!

[@scottgomez1]

Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing all these songs.

[@gavinfoster9118]

Pity someone didn't write a biography about this guy and his band.Very hard to find a guitar player of this style and sound

[@waltertalbert1408]

Not very hard to find......impossible to find.

[@markvelliquette2263]

Don't know who you'd find now that Abbie has passed. Maybe Charlie Daniels, Paul Riddle, or his daughters. But yeah I'd love to read it. Miss him and never even met him.

Upper Saddle River live. Rocked the valley. The fuzz gave up and hoisted the Solo's with us heads.

[@Jean-Claude-q9y]

Epoustoufflant.

[@justinmejia3783]

curious as to why Toy is never mentioned as one of the top 100 guitarists of all time..?..when you listen to tracks like 'this ol cowboy' and 'in my own way'(original) it makes sense to include him

[@brendamilloy2557]

I wonder the same thing too. It's a mystery.

[@gavinfoster9118]

Same here

[@scottrgood]

It’s because the people who make these lists and try to rate musicians don’t know shit about anything.

[@wolfgangflywheel4307]

He uses his thumbs and fingernails (no pick)... his pace is so goooood. No sloughing, it is a pure sound.
