Live Albums By The Marshall Tucker Band
The Marshall Tucker Band started in the early 1970s led by songwriter and star guitarist Toy Caldwell and his brother, bass player Tommy Caldwell.
Like other southern rock bands, they lost members too early with Tommy Caldwell being killed in a car accident in 1980 and To Caldwell died in 1993 after taking cocaine. Another Caldwell brother was also killed in an accident in 1980.
The Marshall Tucker Band are one of my favourite southern rock bands thanks to their distinctive sound given to them by keyboard player, saxophone player and flautist Jerry Eubanks. I realise that southern rock is all about multiple guitar players but I like the contrast between the lead guitar and the flute and saxophone.

Stompin’ Room Only catches The Marshall Tucker Band in concert in 1977 when the live album was originally intended to be released. The launch was delayed and then the tapes were lost.
Since 2003 we have this piece of live Southern rock to enjoy.
One reviewer on Amazon argued that this wasn’t all previously unreleased material. Evidently Ramblin’ and 24 Hours At A Time have previously appeared on the album Where We All Belong and The Thrill is Gone appeared on one of the Volunteer Jam albums.
I’m not an expert in The Marshall Tucker Band so I can’t confirm or refute what has been said. It doesn’t matter to me and I don’t think it will do to most people who consider buying this live album. I’m just looking to hear what The Marshall Tucker Band were like in 1976.
