The Marshall Tucker Band came together as a young, hungry, and quite driven six-piece outfit in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1972, having duly baptized themselves with the name of a blind piano tuner after they found it inscribed on a key to their original rehearsal space — and they’ve been in tune with tearing it up on live stages both big and small all across the globe ever since. The band’s mighty music catalog consists of more than 20 albums, a score of live releases, and has racked up multi-platinum album sales many times over. Some favorites include “Heard It in a Love Song,” “Can’t You See,” and “Fire on the Mountain” to name only a few great hits. The MTB is a group that continues to have a profound level of impact on successive generations of listeners.
The secret ingredient to the ongoing success of The Marshall Tucker Band’s influence can be seen and felt far and wide throughout many mainstream digital outlets (Netflix, Amazon, etc.). In essence, it’s this inimitable down-home sonic style that helped make the MTB the first truly progressive Southern band to grace this nation’s airwaves — the proof of which can be found within the grooves and ever-shifting gears of “Take the Highway,” the first song on their self-titled April 1973 debut album on Capricorn Records, The Marshall Tucker Band. The MTB’s influence can be felt through the sounds of a wide range of respected contemporaries like The Charlie Daniels Band, The Outlaws, and Collective Soul.
