The Marshall Tucker Band has been around for a loonnngg time, and this longevity has established them as one of the greats of the Southern Rock genre. I saw them twice. Once at Oak Mountain Amphitheater near Birmingham and the other at some smoke filled bar in Columbus, GA. At both (very different) venues, these guys came across as very down to earth, friendly, and highly appreciative of their fans, and both times they put on an a kick ass show. At the Columbus venue, the end of one song just melted into a 30 minute, free-form jam session.
"Can't You See" was released waaayy back in 1973. Originally it didn't do very well on the charts, but the song had amazing staying power and today it's a staple on any reputable classic rock station. Great songs are relatable to every generation, and every guy out there at some point in his life will be able to relate to this song's lament.
For you local peeps, the Marshall Tucker Band will be playing locally at Ram's Head in Annapolis on December 12th. Maybe I'll see you there.
