You should cut a version of that song. You do so beautifully

[@allendixon7700]

Right, though a song called virginia b I r g I n a a by mars

[@allendixon7700]

​@@pacificcoastpiper3949They got a hoe out of my Charlie Daniels on the fiddle. And it's all l I, are they A? They do a song called in my own way. By Marshall. Tucker what charlie on the pedal yeah

Driving 80 mph, this song as loud as possible, singing at top of my lungs! Loving life❤

[@alexandersippel]

Damn right 😎

[@roblaw4554]

That kinda sums up so much of my misspent youth in the 70s! Damn, I sure do miss those years... To borrow another lyric: "...wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then...". rl 🤘👹🤘

[@JimFlickinger]

Amen!! Been there!

[@HollyVirgil-g6x]

I love watching young people listen to my generations music for the first time! It always makes me laugh!

[@glennwhittaker1417]

Toy Caldwell voice is legendary, he also plays all the lead guitar, with his thumb, no pick.

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Seen Marshall Tucker band, at least 3 times. One of the best bands in all time ‼️👍 I find it so cool to see the younger generation finding the music I grew up with good ‼️👍

[@firedoc5]

Absolutely love MTB. This is one of my main biographical songs. Toy Caldwell's voice just brings out that emotional feeling that those of us who have had their heart crushed can feel. They made flute playing cool much like Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull and like Kansas did with the violin. Their other songs "Fire on the Mountain" and "Heard it in a Love" are classic Southern Rock standards that you MUST check out. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention The Outlaws "Green Grass and High Tides".

[@DavidOmaha1]

A big YES to all three suggestions.

[@jasongraham5648]

The pain in Toys voice is painfully beautiful

[@stoneysopranoyukon9398]

I think you really enjoy The Allman Brothers Band and The Band. Great musicians, great song writing, and even better live. Both are separate rabbit holes fer sure. ✌️❤️🇨🇦

[@humpy936]

Yes, always better live!

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Love hearing you harmonize- I do that all the time. I did Sweet Adelines competitions more recently, and church choir, and a rock band too. It’s great hearing you enjoy these songs I heard as a child.❤😊

[@kallsop2]

Takes me back. The days of southern rock with Marshal Tucker, Black Oak Arkansas, The Outlaws, The Allman Brothers, Blackfoot, early REO Speedwagon, and Skynard.

[@pmcclaren1]

and MOLLY HATCHETT & Charlie Daniels Band

[@kallsop2]

@@pmcclaren1 You could also include 38 Special, Little Feet, The Allman Brothers and The Band in that era as well. Such good music then.

[@pmcclaren1]

@@kallsop2 Absolutely! Little Feat were incredible! and Wet Willie. As well these Southern ladies were from the SOUTH (Linda Rondstadt & Stevie Nicks (Arizona), Emmylou Harris (Alabama)). (Addendum: the Confederate States included Arizona, New Mexico, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri)--

Uhm, REO Speedwagon was from central Illinois, they were in no way Southern Rock.

Little historical background Toy and Tommy we’re Marines Toy was wounded in Vietnam in 68 The Marine Corps League building in Spartanburg is name after them their father and uncle when were all Marines They were awesome.probably the most underrated rock / southern rock band ever And their name sake Marshall Tucker just recently passex

There’s a live version of this somewhere on youtube that goes on and on and on and on. And still it ends way too early.

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

And has way more soul in the vocals .

Nothing weird about singing along when you catch the groove in a song you enjoy...

So glad to see you react to this group! I saw them in concert in the summer of 1973 in Memphis, TN, the first rock band I ever got to hear live! They were the opening act for Mahavishnu Orchestra (a niche band if there ever was one), but MTB's self-titled album had dropped in April, and by the time of the concert this single was climbing the charts. As a result, the concert had at least as many fans of the opening act as were there for the main act. MTB was totally new to me at the time, and I remember being amazed at what a great show they put on. They were solid musicians and knew how to connect with the audience, and I knew they were the real deal right away. Thanks for reacting to one of the few bands I ever got to see live. YOU rock. as always.

[@tungbi11]

Definitely one of the greatest bands of all time

[@jona.874]

Toy Caldwell (USMC 1966-69) wrote this about his fellow Marines getting "dear John" letters in Vietnam (1968-69). He was wounded in combat in 1968 and given the option of a medical discharge he declined and returned to his unit for the rest of his tour.

[@markbronson7942]

One of those old classics that can either soothe you when you play it nice and low, or make you play air drums on the steering wheel when you crank up the car radio. Love to see you enjoying the song and adding your voice. No need to apologize to your fans, young lady. Keep up the great work.

[@jeffkistler6600]

Saw them at a small bar in 81 . $5 to get in . One of the best concerts I've ever seen .

[@danhuyck527]

known this song backwards and forwards, for decades, Love your vocal additives and commentary.

Love that you can enjoy this kind if music. You are a great talent.

[@jamesdillman6811]

I’m an old guy who has been a Marshal Tucker fan for fifty years. I love watching your reactions and I especially love seeing you react so positively to the music of my generation. I’d also like to say that you look especially gorgeous today, even more than usual. Maybe it’s the beautiful dress. Continued success with your channel. Maybe I’ll sponsor a video someday when I’m feeling rich.

[@razor75250]

The live performance in 1973 in macon Georgia is the best videoof this song..... glad to see you getting into the purest genre!!.....SOUTHERN ROCK!!!!

[@barndude5562]

How many people want some Maggie Sings Along videos? Yes please!!

[@garygoodman4342]

Hank Williams, Jr did a cover of this song for his 1975 album Hank Williams, Jr and Friends. I mention that simply because of the line about jumping off a mountain. About six months after cutting the song, Hank Jr fell 525 ft down the side of Ajax Mountain.......and lived.

[@GaryPuett]

I live just across the North Carolina line from Spartanburg. Back in the day around this time of year the Band would rent out billboards alone interstate 85 "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Marshall Tucker Band" thought that was neat.

[@Head-ck4hu]

6 months before Toy Caldwell wrote and recorded this song he was in a rice paddy in Vietnam. His guitar solos are just with his thumb. No pick.

[@jamesblanton3744]

This is the kind of music I grew up on I love seeing young people enjoying it BTW I sing along as well the only difference is I sound horrible

[@mikenolan8044]

Thanks! I sing along too. Nowhere near as well as you of course. So sing out as much as you want! 🧐

[@maggiereneemusic]

Love that! 🤗 Thank you!! 🎶🌺

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction! Marshall Tucker has always been one of my favorite Southern Rock bands.

[@pmcclaren1]

You got it Miss Maggie because you had (& let it show) FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go TUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TrueBagPipeRock]

this song is so classic, that I hear it all around but never even knew who it was. Such a sound. Hear it in the backgrounds and in ads. Definitely has that creek and rocky mountain type vibe in audio form. Real art. Makes me feel like Mark Twain

[@chrishinton9209]

They called Toy the Thundering Thumb because he used his thumb in lieu of a guitar pick. And as an opera singer you’d probably appreciate this, but they actually toured with a floutist. That wasn’t a studio musician in the beginning. I’m from down South and I’ve played this song in cover bands most of my life. I could definitely see you fronting a band down here and owning this song.

[@kdogusna77]

I grew up 30 miles from Spartanburg, listening to MTB, Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynrd, Charlie Daniels, Elvin Bishop, Wet Willie, and lots of other "Southern rock" bands. The live version (in black and white) is a great video of this song.

[@keymack2477]

If I had a beautiful voice like yours I would sing along too!! Thanks for the reaction!!

[@dopiaza2006]

You don't need a great voice to sing along - just enjoy yourself!

[@jonathansmith3742]

An all time Classic to be sure.

I must have played this song hundreds of times. But we always had to use a keyboard fulte cause none of us know how to play one. However, I've got one now and am going to learn it.

[@sterlingarcher1775]

Southern Rock at it's best.

[@WoncoTheSane]

God bless! Sing along gorgeous. You rock. Your reactions rock. Never stop singing and adding your own flair! So lovely!

[@robertthurman9866]

A fantastic group. Check out their best live CD Stompin Room Only. It was recorded when they were at their peak 1974-75 and then went unreleased until 2003.

[@viclagina347]

When you have " Lawd" in a , is a good chance it's going to be a banger

[@BradleyCorsetti]

Maggie, that was wonderful. To hear a young person love a song as much as I do means a lot. Especially a trained opera singer. I'm 68 and I got one for you: Harvey Mandel's version of Duke Pearson's song recorded first by Donald Byrd in a choral version: Christo Redentor. I think you'll dig it, man!

If you were at one of my band's shows and we saw you singing along, you would probably find yourself on the stage with us.

ALL TIME !

[@conhighway]

Heard it in a Love Song, and Fire on the Mountain are two of their other big hits.

[@bamacopeland4372]

Oddly, This song came on The radio, After I got a dear john Phone call, On the way to my first duty station. 85 in a 65. The cop felt so bad for me he let me go. He was a veteran so he knew all to well bout dear john letters and jodie

[@jopay142]

After doing this marvelous song, I would highly recommend another faboulous song from 1973, "Evie" by Stevie Wright (studio version!). Composed by Harry Vanda and George young (big brother of AC-DC's Malcolm and Angus young!) for Stevie Wright (all 3 of them were members of The Easybeat), it is an Aussie classic. A must!!

[@cdmaster1]

I love when you add your own musicality to the reaction!

[@donaldvanderlinden1245]

THIS SONG WAS COMPOSED AND SUNG BY THE ORIGINAL GUITARIST , FOR MARSHALL TUCKER !

[@gordonpearson7494]

One of my favorite songs (though, admittedly its a long list), MTB had a vibe that was pure honest and different. You cannot listen to any of their songs and not find yourself moving along to it and wishing for more when it ends.

[@thmckenna]

Searching for a Rainbow is another great

[@sterlingarcher1775]

You have a beautiful voice, sing to your hearts content.

[@paularietta6744]

It's ok Maggie - we're all singing along too😂

[@subbie333]

Your singing along is great! Plus, you are pointing out one of the great things about Southern rock - you could and wanted to sing along. So, check out other southern rock bands like Lynyrd Skynyd (react to "Free Bird" live in Oakland), The Allman Brothers, .38 Special, Charlie Daniels Band (especially "Devil Went Down to Georgia"), Atlanta Rhythm Section, Molly Hatchet, Johnny and Edgar Winter ("Frankenstein" is a classic), and, of course ZZ Top.

[@bumperu]

There is a great live version.

[@DHARMN00]

with our hours being cut at work, trying to sponsor is not really a good idea atm. was thinking though, "Hall of the Mountain King" by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow could be interesting.

[@phila3884]

Just found your channel. Interested to see what genres of music you are reacting to. The YT algorithm should have featured your channed because I watch a lot of classic pop music reactions.

You failed to mention the singer and lead guitar player and song writer TOY CALDWELL who was awarded the purple heart in Vietnam ! Also to bad you did not react to the Live version from the Grand Old Opry 1973 ! a where you could see the use of his special thumb playing on guitar by Toy Caldwell !

Can I suggest you look at Slade singing Cmon feel the noise or Everyday……and Sugar baby love by the Rubettes (the singer of this song Paul Davinci has a live version which will blow your mind

[@robertbullard4266]

I think a better analysis would be when you are listening to all of the song instead of singing over it. Not the justice such a great song deserves. The lead singer survived injuries from the Vietnam War and died in a car accident after coming back.

[@mikeholton3914]

never apologize for singing along!!!!!!!!! its way cute when you do it ( we do it too but you're way cuter doing it than we are)

It's a shame, all you reactors have done 1 Marshall Tucker Band song, and he's not even the lead singer. plum pitiful

[@j.philiplarson2064]

Why are you singing over the music? If you want to sing, do a video of just you singing some song, but I find it annoying when anybody sings over a classic song! Sorry...don''t mean to step on your toes, but I gotta be honest! I also don't like the music being stopped for comments...make the comments after the song has finished!
