"For true Marshall Tucker fans everywhere, this album and the continuation of the band by Mr. Gray(the ONLY original member remaining) can only be seen as dragging down the fine history of the ORIGINAL and ONLY MTB. On this album you will find "Can't You See" and "Heard It In A Love Song", arguably the most popular of the original band's recordings, and written by Toy Caldwell. Unfortunately, Toy's brother Tommy Caldwell passed away due to an accident in 1980. Tommy was the leader of the band, playing a great bass, and the younger brother of Toy. Toy then passed away in 1993 from a rare type of heart disease. I can sum up the feelings of thousands of true MTB fans everywhere by asking Mr. Gray to give it up using a "cover band" to play songs written by Toy Caldwell, and "Fire On The Mountain" written by George McCorkle."
