Dedicated
Dedicated is the much awaited first album of the Marshall Tucker band since the tragic automobile accident that took the life of Bass player and spritual leader of the band, Tommy Caldwell. Long time friend Franklin Wilkie has joined the band as the new bass player. Tommy was the brother of Toy Caldwell, who has authored the large majority of MTB songs during their Capricorn and Warner Brothers label tenures. (Toy Caldwell subsequently left the band a few years later and also passed away in 1993) Dedicated starts with Rumors are Raging. Good friend Charlie Daniels supports the band with some great fiddle playin' on this track. The song "This time I believe" was released as a single and got some airplay on radio stations. The group appeared on Solid Gold Live to perform the song. Silverado was also a popular song which was done on video also. The album is definitely worth buying. My personal favorite is the track "Ride in Peace", which was written for Tommy Caldwell. Any MTB fan should have Dedicated in their possession for this alone. Dedicated is a mixture of rock, pop, jazz, blues, country, and gospel. This is what makes MTB a great band, and they do not disappoint on Dedicated!
