Looking for a more talented and sincere boy band than the usual tripe released by cute guys who can dance really well, who look cool in their videos, and whose latest tour is supported by a major cola company? Boyzone is your band. The music itself may be a tad bland, but the vocals are so well executed and the material itself (especially the covers of Tracy Chapman and Andrew Lloyd Webber) is strong enough to dispel any such criticism. The slow grooving and sensual "All the Time in the World," in particular, is a song so catchy you don't care who catches you singing along to it on the radio. An Irish act who've scored major hits in the U.K., it is a crime that in the U.S. the group has yet to become superstars. Maybe they can't dance? --Mike McGonigal

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. Nowthanks to lead guitarist Toy Caldwell's knack for hook-laden songwritingthey 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.

The Bottom Line..........2007-04-01
Where is it exactly that we all belong?.......2007-03-24
Fortunately, the music contained within is better than one would expect from the awful cover art. The songs on the studio set aren't as strong as the ones on their debut, but they're all well-played. Toy Caldwell is truly an excellent guitar player. "This Ol Cowboy" is of course a wonderful song - perhaps my favorite of theirs - and definitely the best song on the album. "Low Down Ways", "In My Own Way," and "Try One More Time" are all highlights. But, as you can probably tell from the titles of the songs, they're all rather ordinary both musically and lyrically and don't really cover new ground.
I have to admit, I'm not really a fan of this kind of music. I don't like jam bands, and I don't like flutes either. However, the live set is very good, great versions of "Ramblin on My Mind", "24 Hours at a Time," amd "Take the Highway." However, as blazing as "24 Hours at a Time" is, with Charlie Daniels on fiddle, I really think it's too long and gets too far out there. And what's with the bass solo? That really ruins the song (thank god they didn't decide to do a drum solo). "Everyday I have the Blues" really takes a page out of the Allman Brothers book, especially during Toy's solo when the band comes in (sounds suspiciously like the Allman's version of "Stormy Monday"). Of course, MTB only sounds like the Allmans on this one track -a B.B. King song - because their material is much more country than the Allmans, who are more blues than anything.
Overall, then, this is a solid album, but it is hardly a masterpiece, and MTB seems to be covering old territory, though of course they do offer the whole cowboy thing, kind of new at the time. But the jam band stuff has already been done better by the Dead and the Allmans, tho Toy Caldwell's guitar playing rivals that of Jerry Garcia or Duane Allman. So, if you're into jam bands or Southern rock, you'll probably like this. I find it kind of boring, and not as good as their first album.

I looked for this song because of the cover of it that the Indigo Girls did, and although they did an awesome job, hearing Buffy sing it sends a shiver even deeper because of the reality of what she grew up with. Thank you Buffy.
Up where you belong, some belong way down !.......2005-06-30
A wonderful Voice, her Songs are outstanding, why do some people hate her ?
I remember a joke about it :
An Indian Chief is having a drink, and Racheal McBrandon is asking How do you like
Canada ? He says, How do you like my Country !
Reading the review of Racheal McBrandon, something stands out: "big, fat waste and weird" I am glad they dont show your picture.

Great Album.......2002-04-08
This is a mature album with a lot of depth. There are some great harmonies on this album, and that's what drew me to the group in the first place. Some faovrite songs are No Matter What, One Kiss at a Time, And I, and Where Did You Go? But every track is a winner and if you've never heard this band, then you're really missing something special.

Great gems from musicals that dissapeared.......2004-11-30
Also, there's Judy Kuhn's beautiful performance on "Starfish", Christine Baranski's vampy turn on "Sherry".
Finally, there's" New Words" from "One, Two, Three, Four, Five". This show has been restaged, by small theatre groups, under the title "History Loves Company". "New Words" is by far the best number of this show and Liz Callaway's voice fills with love as she sings this lullaby.
For a consummate musical theatre fan who's heard it all, this disc is a refreshing look at what has been lost over the years.

Part Studio/Part Live But All Good.......2003-03-09
This band's instruments and vocals just blend so nicely. Just listen to This Ol' Cowboy with the interplay between the flute and guitar. Toy Caldwell's soft vocals fit like a hand in a glove. Low Down Ways is a nice blend of country and rock. Good sharp guitar solo with nice drumming by Paul Riddle. And how about the slide guitars by Elvin Bishop on Where A Country Boy Belongs? Can't forget the pretty piano on Try One More Time. Perfect for romancing that lady.
Anyway, the live portion of this CD is good but you really have to be in the right mood. 24 Hours At A Time is catchy tune but at nearly fourteen minutes in length, the jamming can be a bit too long. Its OK when you are in the mood for extending instrumentation and tolerable when you are not. Everyday I Have The Blues has a few interesting shifts in tempo but merely is performed as an excuse for Toy Caldwell to show off his fine soloing. Don't get me wrong, Toy was a fabulous guitar player and on this track he sounds fine. However eleven and a half minutes of noodling is not exactly my cup of tea.
Some flaws but certainly a fine release. I would get Searching For A Rainbow, the debut, and Carolina Dreams first.
Wow!!! It's Back!!!!.......2003-02-02
Musically, Marshall Tucker was the secong best of all the Southern Rock bands (behind the Allman Brothers). They didn't write powerful lyrics like Lynard Skynard, but they certainly could outplay them. Most of Marshall Tucker's material was either love songs or about being a cowboy.
This was originally a double LP. But like all of Marshall Tucker's albums, the sides were short enough that you could easily fit two LP's on one CD.
This album is Marshall Tucker at it's countriest and at it's rockingist (how's that for two made up words). The first half is studio material, that has more of a country twang than most other Marshall Tucker albums. It also features two of the best songs, This Old Cowboy and In My Own Way. These two songs were on the first side of the LP. The second side of the LP rarely got played, but it still has some strong songs, like Scared Me to Death.
The last half of the CD is live material. Marshall Tucker was a fantastic live band. But, unfortunately, there are not too many live recordings available. Other than this album, there is one other live track, Can't You See on Searching For A Rainbow. The real stand out is 24 Hours At A Time, which is the best thing on any Marshall Tucker album. It is a fantastic 14 minute jam, that even features a little bit of Charlie Daniels on violin.
I have an earlier version of the CD. It is a little flatter than the original LP. It is a slight difference and very difficult to tell unless you play them side by side. I don't know if this newer version has an improved dynamic range.
In the beginning, I had written off Marshall Tucker as a band going nowhere. The first time I saw them as a lead act, they only played 20 minutes and then came back for a 20 minute encore. However, the next times I saw them, they really opened up their show. They had a really great version of Never Trust A Stranger. They were opening act for Fleetwood Mac at a sold out University of Arizona football stadium. The starting time for the concert was changed to earlier time, because both groups wanted to play longer.
Marshall Tucker stuck together for a long time, until bassist Tommy Caldwell died. The group continued for a while longer and then disbanded. Singer Doug Gray and reedman, Jerry Eubanks reformed Marshall Tucker into a gospel band. Be careful of any CD's released after 1983.
Toy Caldwell continued to perform on his own and released a few CD's. I really like his CD "Can't You See". It is a little bit rough, but it is one last chance to hear him play live. Toy Caldwell died in 1993.
3rd Time's a Charm.......2002-04-10
Overall, a fine but often overlooked southern rock album.
The 3rd MTB album.......2002-03-11
The other half of this album was cut in the studio and showcases a great piece of western swing/jazz melancholy called "This Ole Cowboy", plus some superb vocals by Doug Gray, especially on "How Can I Slow Down" (the band opened with this tune when I saw them live) which has him really stretching his vocal range; and a sentimental favorite, "In My Own Way", which he sings as convincingly as any song they ever performed. And although Charlie Daniels was not an official member of the group, his fiddle playing contributes essentially to this record and can be heard on the studio as well as the live portions of this record.
All in all, this album finds the Tucker Boys at the top of their form, and to many of us MTB fans, they would not come off of this until several albums later.

Outstanding.......2005-02-15
But this is not bluegrass, this is folk music. Lisa's lyrics are not mushy or overbearing; they are simply Lisa's. If you'd like to hear social-geography set to music, just listen to the first track. If you'd like to hear a shot at redemeption, just listen to Without the Pain. If you want to hear plain fun, listen to Lay it on the Line. There is no pretension in these lyrics, just REAL experience set to music.
I can't recommend this cd enough to those people who wish to find good, honest music. This whole thing was recorded in a log cabin with no overdubs. Just buy it, you'll feel like you got it for free.
