Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Album Description

The Marshall Tucker Band arrived at a crossroads on its third album, Where We All Belong. With two successful LPs already under their belt, the Spartanburg, SC sextet was on the verge of even greater popularity. Marshall Tucker’s eclectic brand of musical Americana had won them a fervent following as a touring act. Now—thanks to lead guitarist Toy Caldwell’s knack for hook-laden songwriting—they were edging closer to breaking into Top 40 radio.

Where We All Belong gives a taste of both ends of the Marshall Tucker spectrum: the expansive jam band and the more tightly-focused recording act. Released in 1974 as a two-record LP, the album found the band refining its own distinctive brand of country-rock on the studio cuts.

Anticipating the mass appeal of cowboy culture a few years later, Toy and his band adopted a bit of a Wild West attitude in their music. For all the prominence of pedal steel guitar and down-home lyric imagery in its tracks, though, Where We All Belong was far more adventuresome than most mainstream country music of its time.

Balancing the well-honed studio cuts were the in-concert recordings that round out the album. The genre-spanning versatility and instrumental excellence of Marshall Tucker’s membership is caught here in all its unfettered glory. As a live act, the band had the power to drive audiences delirious with their soaring jams, as these recordings demonstrate.

great Marshall Tucker band album - Reviewed on 2008-11-30

Great album as all the early Marshall Tucker band albums were. I'm glad that I found this album as all of my vinyl was worn out and it was getting hard to find good used records in the used stores. This album and the first disc of the Marshall Tucker Anthology (that I also bought on this site) satisfys my M T band needs. I could never get enough of them in the seventies. and I now have all of my favorite MT songs on my Mp3 player.I may buy some of the early albums that have some songs that aren't on the CD's that I have. They are my fovorite Southern Rock Band eventhough I never considered them southern rock.
a time capsule of good time rock and roll - Reviewed on 2008-10-19

This album captures the original lineup of this band in its prime. It brings back the great memories for the real fans that's for sure. You had to be there to get it any better, and that aint gonna happen anymore so this album is a good as it will get for you if you weren't.

I've been waiting for years for this to come out on CD. FINALLY!!!
One of the greatest road trip songs ever is "24 Hours at a Time" with Charlie Daniels on fiddle. It'll get you down the road at least 15 - 20 miles.

The other live songs are OK, pretty good studio songs. "24 Hours" is worth the CD alone.

Released as a double album in 1974, Where We All Belong is a live/studio combination album that features southern rock, country rock and a healthy dose of live jam-band instrumental improvisations. With Jerry Eubanks playing the saxophone or flute on most songs, the music also has a jazzy feel to it.

The Spartanburg, South Carolina band gained national attention with Take The Highway, a hit single from their self-titled debut album. A good live version of the song is included here on this album.

This Ol' Cowboy, a fan favorite that is sung by guitarist Toy Caldwell and features Charlie Daniels on the fiddle, opens the album. It's followed by two outlaw country songs, Low Down Ways and In My Own Way, sung by their talented lead singer, Doug Gray. Both are well performed and sound Marshall Tucker good.

How Can I Slow Down and Where A Country Boy Belongs (featuring Elvin Bishop on slide guitar) speed things up a little, and sound great. The rocking/bluesy Now She's Gone and country/bluesy Try One More Time wrap up the studio portion of the album and sound very good.

The live set opens with the southern fried boogie-woogie of Ramblin'. Doug Gray's extraordinary vocal ability is highlighted on this one, and this guy can sing!

24 Hours At A Time, again featuring Charlie Daniels on fiddle, is the centerpiece of this album, and this live take is much better than the also great studio version. It's a perfect feel-good song with lots of interesting instrumental improvisation, and it stretches out over 13 minutes. These guys are really great musicians, and they work very well together.

The blues-rocking Everyday (I Have The Blues) features guitarist Toy Caldwell on vocals and guitar, and is over 9 minutes long. Toy was an exceptional guitarist, and he really shows his stuff on this one.

A live version of See You Later, I'm Gone is included as a bonus track.

If you're a fan of The Marshall Tucker Band, Where We All Belong is a definite essential. And if you're an ol' southern boy like I am, it's just great to kick back and listen to this excellent music and remember a time when this ball of confusion called Earth wasn't... So confusing!

Even though I'd been listening to the band for 20 years plus, I'd never run across this album. I'm very glad I did! It fits right into the sound that I'd grown to expect after listening to "Searchin for a Rainbow" and "Long Hard Ride" about a million times. From "This Ol' Cowboy" to the live tracks at the end of the disk these tunes will get you where you want to be. Buy it.
