Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

Toy didn't pick with his fingers. He used his thumb only. Watch closely. Very distinctive style. And the growl in his voice...epic.

[@OZAHS1959]

Toy Caldwell - lead vocal, was a decorated Vietnam War veteran. The pain in his voice...

[@detroitlady7201]

As someone who grew up in this era of music, you can see why today's "music" is nothing to us! When you've seen the talent it took to make it, there's no comparison! No auto tune, jumping around half naked or any of the crap they put on nowadays! Just an insane amount of actual talent!

[@richardmodglin3900]

Amen!

[@user-er8kz2jg6o]

I’m in my 20s, I agree. Y’all had it made.

[@gregusmc2868]

Toy Caldwell was one of the best thumb-pickers ever. He’s missed. Badly missed.

[@cocoboobenstein]

Great reaction. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Guys with talent. No auto tune garbage

[@axandio]

Check out the Tedeschi Trucks Band if you'll see they still DO make them like this... and better... it's just that the "INDUSTRY" doesn't recognize real talent anymore.

[@katiem9644]

Just as good now a it was then.....awesome sound. Good reaction!

[@hlawrencepowell]

1973. I was 15 years old. We grew up with a new song like this almost every day. This was sort of the advent of Southern Rock with Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels.

[@michaeldavidfigures9842]

Story is; when Toy was in Vietnam, many of his fellow marines were frequently receiving DearJohn letters from wives and girlfriends. That experience served as the inspiration for this song.

[@tonylennon7979]

That music and song belong to another world, purely stratospheric. I have never heard anything. like it.

[@Cheryltwin2012]

I'm sure that someone else has already mentioned that lead singer Toy Caldwell won a Purple Heart in Vietnam. He was a talented singer and amazing guitarist. Love the flute!

[@ronaldstokes4841]

Jus' to be picky... one doesn't 'WIN' a Purple Heart. One is 'AWARDED' the Purple Heart.

[@armandogarza6181]

Glad you liked them man, damn good band. Fire on the Mountain or Heard in a Love Song are two that come to mind. Cheers.

[@billhibbs2964]

Love your reactions.

The Caldwell brothers were from Moore South Carolina about 30 miles from where I live, and I have always had kin living in Moore, and would ride by an old two story brick school house that they used to rehearse in and recorded some of their songs in back in the early 70's. I remember hearing on the radio years ago, back in the 70's also of Toy Caldwell being interviewed, and he mentioned the old Schoolhouse that they turned into a recording studio. He also told the story of how they got their band name on an old interview he was doing on the Bobby Bare Show and Bobby ask him how they got the name Marshall Tucker Band and ask if there, "is a real Marshall Tucker?" Toy said, "yea, he was a blind man that tunes pianos in Spartanburg and one night about a week before the Marshall Tucker band was formed, we had a gig and we didn't have a name for our band. " He went on to say that they rented a place from Marshall Tucker to practice and on the keychain was the name, "Marshall Tucker" He said, that name for the band was, "As good as any. And that was the name of the band." Critics, told the band that a flute in a Southern Rock Band won't work, but they tried it out and that became their trademark. That flute gave a lot of their songs a very unique sound that caught on and is classic to hear to this day. Also if you noticed toy picking his lead guitar with his thumb instead of a pic. Very rare.

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Awesome bit of music history here. Thanks for sharing. Cool to be so close to their hometown too

[@myownchannel247]

Toy Caldwell on guitar 🎸 and vocals r I p. He was a decorated marine that fought in the Vietnam War 🫡

[@ronaldstokes4841]

Not only served... was wounded twice but opted to stay till his tour was over to be with his friends, so the story goes.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I just recommend that you check this out. I was late. But I'm happy you did. ❤️✌️

[@hog7203]

You should watch the whole concert footage. I think it's called A Saturday night in Macon. It features three bands, Wet Willie, the Allman Brothers band and the Marshall Tucker band.

[@juliapernicka2698]

Thanks. I’m gonna see if I can find that

[@bryandamkaer3646]

Music was so pure back then Good to see you young folks listening to it

[@markjones1518]

If you want flute in rock music, then you want the band Jethro Tull. Try "Locomotive Breath" or "Cross-eyed Mary".

[@randyjohnson6960]

Jethro Tull (Flute) Song: "Locomotive Breath"🎤🎵 🎶 it's a banger

[@HCH944]

I double concur. Runs the all-time looser.... ...old Charlie stole the handle..... ....no way to slow down.....

[@williamjones6031]

I got to see them at Harrah's Lake Tahoe just before the world ended and they killed. Needless to say, the ones still alive are a lot older now

[@richardmodglin3900]

From an era when talant mattered..... period! Great reaction!

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Thank you 😁

[@cameronstestingart794]

Subscribed because it’s my favorite song and band ever. Break it down-yes they did!Southern rock was the best in the 60s and 70s✌🏼

[@nathanfisher1826]

Soooo good 😊

[@glenngunnis6642]

They just don’t make music like that anymore! Great reaction!🎸

[@marlonsummey1983]

Just found you on here brother, keep doing what you're doing! You make the reaction about the song and not yourself. New subscriber.

[@robertwatson2823]

Thanks for the reaction to MTB. I saw these guys back in the mid-70's and it was the best concert I ever attended. Here are two of their best songs in my humble opinion. I like these because Toy Caldwell really shows his talent on guitar. I agree with you, I like that finger picking style as well. This 1st song is "Everday I have the Blues" and the 2nd is "In My Own Way". kzbin.info/www/bejne/d17cZYyHfNR8gsU kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKWQeHawrqmHb5I

[@wgandy9541]

Love your style of reaction. Great song and glad you appreciate good music!

[@williamcabell142]

That’s Talent! What happened to music?

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

IN MY OWN WAY.

[@atticus290]

Maybe southern rock, but blues lyrics

[@pete3883]

Later the 3 Man step back - classic ?

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Is that the name of a song?

[@ronaldstokes4841]

Hip-Hop and the money it brings in has destroyed real music. Talent doesn't sell... half nekkid women and lewd lyrics do. I was lucky enuff to grow up beginning with Buddy Holley and watch 'Rock n' Roll' go thru it's changes. Until...

[@robinmcpherson7981]

One of the best bands ever was. The 2 brothers are dead now. Being the main singer , the band now is terrible. They still travel using that name.

[@jona.874]

1. Toy was only part-time lead vocals, on less than 1/4 of their songs, the current lead singer has always been there. 2. Toy Caldwell (lead guitar and lead vocals here) died in 1993, Tommy Caldwell (bass) died in 1980.
