Gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord
I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain
Jump off, nobody gonna know
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me
I'm gonna find me
A hole in the wall
I'm gonna crawl inside and die
'Cause my lady, now
A mean ol' woman, Lord
Never told me goodbye
Can't you see, oh, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
I'm gonna buy a ticket, now
As far as I can
Ain't a-never comin' back
Ride me a southbound
All the way to Georgia, now
Till the train, it run out of track
Can't you see, oh, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me
Can't you see (oh, she's such a crazy lady), can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me
Can't you see (Lord, I can't stand), can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me
Can't you see (I'm gonna take a freight train), can't you see (down at the station, Lord)
What that woman, she been doin' to me (ain't never comin' back)

Saw Toy Caldwell play a dive bar in South Carolina a year or so before he died. Still had it. A 13 or 14 year old Derek Trucks sat in as well. What a night.

ahhhh...one of them country hippie redneck bands that were quite groovin in the seventies
Love this group!!!! Bring back these days!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, that southern rock. Back in the day some 50 years ago when all of this stuff was coming out my gang of usual suspects and I frequented the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ and caught Marshall Tucker, the Charlie Daniels Band, Elvin Bishop and Wet Willie there and saw the Allman Bros. at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City. This was when the Allman's Fillmore East album could not be played enough. And of course none of us or even youse guys EVER sang along to the 8-track playing Can't You See or to Whipping Post after a belly full of beer. Nope. Hah!
How is it possible that of the 18,000 or so songs in my hoard, I have NO Marshall Tucker Band? WTF?

One of my all-time favorite vocal performances.

Great list... probably the most underrated album on that chart:
Joe Walsh, The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get
Give that a listen.... and what a great album title too.

Haven't heard a long while... still a great song....
The Best Southern Rock band - sorry Dwane and Ronnie
I remember Howard Stern and crew mocking this song on his FM radio show. Used to make me laugh so hard, despite me liking this song.
Takes me right back to my home state of Colorado during high school. Fond, fond memories of that time.
When I see you Bill you deserve a pat on the shoulder. All you've done for us. Thanks.
This is so friggin hi class I don't know what to say.
Brings memories of a different time a different place a different universe.
Not better than this just different

feels good
If ever anyone came along and filled a very big niche/sub-genre then it was these guys, bigtime
PS. They were incredible live
I remember cranking this tune at a big 10
I’ll go with a big 10 rating today

You just lost me today on this one, brother. 1970s AOR radio.
I can actually play these three chords!!

Headed back to school with that one. Ha. Just reading through the list of given names of the Past Members is like going to prom. That season is up on us already again; the children running around like spring chicks getting the prom-gear readied. Ordered up online mostly nowadays, alas. But I digress.
That is a most-excellent song, now that you mention it.

Check out other versions of "Can't You See" by Black Stone Cherry and Waylon Jennings..and see what you think!!
Toy Caldwell was the Marshall Tucker Band!!
In my opinion it's a good idea to compare Matt Minglewood's version of this classic and see what you think!!…..Hence!!….Can't You See which one would be the one for you!!...As for myself...I was pleasantly surprised.

or black stone cherry's update.

I failed marriage, age induced frailties, regrets.....man this tune resonates 
Super ole Marshall Tucker Tune
would pop this cassette into the deck screwed under the dashboard of my '79 CJ5, crank up the volume and enjoy
every moment, no canvas top popped in place, just the padded roll bar between my wind swept head o' hair and
that glorious blue sky, such glorious moments : )
Rock On Folks!

This is one of the many high points of country and southern rock in the 1970s. Should I bump it from 8 > 9? The memories I have of where I was living and those great times then color the rating.
Very nice lil bit of nostalgia, right there
had never heard this song before it turned up in the movie Half Nelson about 10 years ago. It's all kinds of wonderful.

Now time for the commercial. It's why I like this streaming site. Bill and crew are adept at providing something listenable for all kind's of folks. He and they do so by keeping what is presented an intriguing "what's coming next" blend of musicality. It keeps you hooked in and listening while you go about your day. Sometimes you hear what you expect and know. Sometimes something comes at you in unexpected, left-field, fashion. Sometimes. mostly, you get a pleasant education on the dynamics of music being expressed "out there." To my mind this ain't a bad thing. Not bad at all...

Stuck on a desert island? Goin' on a road trip? This would be near the top of my forever and ever playlist. My entire collection of MTB vinyl still gets a regular workout. If you like MTB, try the sounds of 'Farmer Not-So John'. Start with "paper thin,'

loved these guys. Takes me back to Florida in the 70's. Ah! Sweet Youth! Flip flops and cut offs and sunburn
Heh, this one hit me in the memory bank so hard I actually got a chill.
strikes the right southern chord..
This Old Cowboy and Everyday I have the Blues, put em on your playlist. we loved these country boys in the north east 'cause they were real musicians playing real music, and as you said, in between that BS corporate rock and disco dance junk.

Memories of soothing my aching heart with bourbon and beer, cooling off after hot days in the coniferous forests, at The Boot in the wilds of (pre-Village) Whistler circa 1980. Amy! Can't you see...
We knew this one, Bill. Big favorite in my youth.
This sends me. Thanks RP!
Country swingin' at the Fiji house!
Memories of soothing my aching heart over bourbons and beer, cooling off after hot summer days in those dense coniferous forests, at The Boot in the wilds of (pre-village) Whistler. Amy... Can't you see what you're doing to me?
Arrived on psd.
One of the champion country rock tracks from the classic '70s period—Allmans, Outlaws, Lynnyrd, and these guys, among others. It's on my pod, I play it with great memories all over every note.

Bill's intro had the same comment tonight, but this track got played a LOT in the mid-late 70s Boston area. Sounds like you went to a great show.
And yes, there are a lot of muffled skips and drops in this recording. Could we score a new one?
I agree with Bill; this fine band was kinda lost in the shuffle. Lost maybe, but not forgotten! Saw them do a wonderful, long show at The Buffalo Rose down the road in Golden back in the spring of '92. My buddies and I couldn't believe our ears — and they did 3 encores!

Lynard Skynard was the rock band
Allman Brothers was the jazz band
Marshall Tucker was the country band
but to folks down south it's all just music
like Muddy Waters said back in the early 1960's
when asked, is your music folk music?
Muddy said it's all folk music
you ain't never heard no horse sing
The BEST Southern Rock Band.
Yes I said It.
Sorry Duane and Ronnie but you know its true.

Wow, Sunday afternoon just kicked into gear, Marvin Gaye a coulpe ago and now this, mixing it up like they used to, sweet
Saw a triple bill at Alfred Univ. Back in '75 with MTB, CDB and the OMD and Toy was great but the daredevils stole the show.

This is on my pod. I've listened to it dozens of time — but this is the first time I've heard this certified classic on RP. Splendid tune, and I have great memories associated with its wistful power. Thanks, RP, a perfect song to PSD to on a rainy NYC afternoon.

Great song.
Bit of a skip in here, sounds like. Could be my connection. Cool song though.

I'm generally not a fan of Southern Rock as a genre, but this song is one of the exceptions. Anyone who's known the futility of one-sided love can appreciate the powerful emotion in his voice.
The live version on Searchin' for a Rainbow, is a 10 also
Come to think of it all of Searchin' for a Rainbow is a 10

Under hypnosis - I could probably point out the spots where the 8 track would change channels on this album!
Nice trip back to my misspent youth!
Ah, the Marshall Tucker Band, from my hometown of Spartanburg,SC. Brings back a lot of memories of being in Junior High School and listening to this on my neighbor Robin's 8 Track player.

This is a theme song to a brief, difficult, but enjoyable time of my life.
Thanks for the memories.

Poignant. From waaaay back. Lots of memories there. Never really knew, or cared, if it was labeled blues, country, or rock.
You know what there is simply NOT enough in Country/ Southern Rock these days?
