Editorial Review:
While the Allman Brothers Band garnered the majority of attention during their four-decade careers, their contemporaries in Southern rock the Marshall Tucker Band have been more quietly, but just as consistently, making quality music. Only vocalist Doug Gray remains from the original sextet, yet the group's sound hasn't changed substantially, as their breezy mix of jazz, blues, and country doesn't need updating to remain fresh. Their unlikely emphasis on flute defined a style that was lighter and less boogie-oriented than most of the harder-driving acts of their era. Perhaps not surprisingly, age has mellowed them even further, and this album's one rocker, "Travelin' Man," seems forced next to the warm melodic roots and country twang that otherwise dominate. Gray's graying vocals have lost a bit of steam, but the band sounds terrific, and most of the songs glow like burnished gold. The somewhat clichéd topics of music, cowboys, horses, and the road appear, but when the elements mesh, as on "Cold Steel," "The Guitar Playing Man," and "Crossroad," favorable comparisons can be made with some of the band's finest. Coming this late in the Marshall Tucker Band's career, that's an unlikely and impressive feat. --Hal Horowitz

Rating:  - Standing on it's own.
I've been a Tucker fan for 30 years. I understand the usual comparisons that always come with every new CD. But on it's own, this is an outstanding album with incredible variety and first rate perfromances.
I can't understand a rating of less than 4 stars for this amazing CD. Yes, I know it's all opinions but c'mon. What has happened to music today? Furthermore, what has happened to music lovers today? Those who vote and claim to understand what great music is!

Rating:  - A rock-solid three star album from Doug Gray & crew
Like any other classic Southern Rock Band...The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet...that's still on the concert / CD trail today with "one or more original members," it's all too easy to dismiss the 2007 Marshall Tucker Band. That's a shame, because people who do are missing some good music that's true to its roots.
Founding member Tommy Caldwell died in 1980. Toy Caldwell, Paul Riddle and George McCorkle left the MTB in the mid-80s, which marked the beginning of Doug Gray's ... Read More
Rating: - If you're a true Marshall Tucker fan....
and have been wondering when Doug Gray was going to dig back to the bands roots, retrace those true desert sounds, and bring back that classic flute that makes this band so unique, then this CD should make you happy.I know Doug's voice isn't at it's peak, but he has a good showing here, and some of the vibrado that he overdoes so much in concert, takes a backseat on this cd.
Some MTB recordings as of late have had an abscence of that lead guitar that make you miss Toy Caldwell so much, but this ... Read More
Rating: - A NICE CD
MTB latest is a refreshing, breezy musical journey. its been a long 30+yrs for the band and as with all bands--suffered tragic losses etc. MTB has struck paydirt with 10 passionate songs that spin cowboys and the west. DOUG GRAY is still the keeper of the stable and his voice is tired but true. there are 3 songs from GEORGE MCCORKLE and one from TOY CALDWELL and both need no introduction. highlights are: A SAD COWBOY SONG and I LOVE YOU THAT WAY-thrown in a couple well to do rockers and you have a ...
