Those first five MTB albums still sound fresh to these ears as the day that I first heard Take The Highway on WNEW-FM. I first saw the Tucker boys when they opened for Steve Miller at the Felt Forum in NY. I forget what year it was, but The Joker just came out.

Long Live The Marshall Tucker Band !!!!!
