Marshall Tucker Band, The - Tell It To The Devil Lyrics

I SEE HIM EVERYDAY...

YOU give me courage, strength.

DON'T know what I'd do without you guys. 🌹

The best times was in the 70's
Listen to 🎶 music like this...
Still listening... (2019)

I wonder if Leon Russell's style had any influence in their music.

The lyrics and arrangements plays a cinematic mivie through my mind as i listen to these old classics. Forgot s8me of the less covered tunes and how much expressions pump through, have to dust off s8me vinyls and ride memory lane for a while. Hiarchy of Souther Rock would be very different had tradgeties not been bestowed. Blessed for what still can listen to!!!!

"Kinda makes you want to pick up the Bible. And memorize every single line." Certainly the most worthy endeavor a person could engage in. And then to act on it (faith = love + action...James 1;22).  I lost my little brother to alcoholism a year ago. "Or sit helpless in a corner, and watch a man drink away his life". Great lyrics...reality for many of us. We could do nothing. And it hurts so bad. Thanks Toy for a great song.

Holy cow, where has this album been all my life?

takes me back,springs me forward MTB

I learned how to play real guitar to this album. Timeless.
Doesn’t get any better!

heard take the highway in72,this chicago city boy was d iggin e m then!They,re better now,

Definitely one of my favorite bands of the 70s living in Austin, TX.

I'm surprised to see only 291 of us 'liked' this video, the other seven must be closed minded millennials that will never get it.

Yes, one of the tragically lost gems in true American roots music.

@Wesley Cross We are so lost in so many ways and I really appreciate the found. Thank you for the honest reply. We are all in this together. Peace.

411 ..😍

I just "liked" this also, and I'm number 420. That reminds me, be right back.

@Wesley Cross there is hope for your generation yet!

Finally lifted the god damn copy right shit. Thanks YouTube

Yes. I have been waiting. One of their best.

Walk threw the graveyard wish they cud all go to heaven

Well sted kim.

The Cowboy code, The CDB too.

Fantastic, underrated band live. Tragically, when they lost Tommy, they really lost the heart and soul of the band. They were excellent even afterwards, Toy was a superstar writer of songs, and also as a player, but Tommy was the live "face". An era of time that's never going to be duplicated.

Tommy kept them Trucken down the road.....man ran a mile with every song....

You said it Kim.

Underrated by who? Do you like them? Then who cares what anyone else thinks. And I disagree. Toy was the heart and soul of the band. Brian Jones got really upset when Richards and Jagger took over the Stones. Why did he get upset? Because he gave up leadership. Whoever writes the songs leads the band...musically, professionally, and directionally. Tommy added alot, George added a lot, Doug a little, and Jerry some. But Toy was the leader because of his songwriting. It is what it is.

@James Sero Toy was the the best! But Tommy kept the business end straight and was the voice of MTB, not the singer even though he same some of his own songs! Not to mention one hellava bass player! Saw them many times together before Tommy died! Franklin did a good job filling in for Tommy but just wasn't the same! I would say Toy was the heart and Tommy the soul of the MTB. when Toy, George, and Paul T. called it quits Rusty Milner was a fine guitar player but Doug and Jerry should have changed the name in my opinion!

... Another group you guys should check out that's just getting started is Westwater Outlaws...I found em recently and man they're doing some dang good southern rock... West Water Outlaws | "Caught In The Headlights" Music Video

The band that wears the badge.

I wore out two copies of this on LP, bought the cassette, wore it out. Glad I have it on my computer now.

I saw MTB in a small pub in 1987 in Grandview Heights a suburb of Columbus, Ohio and they sang this song. We got there 2 hours early to get the table in front of the stage. The best concert I have ever seen.

The best song from this album

THEIR IS NO RR HOF W/O MTB

This album outdoes them all, beautiful music!

what was the name of the pub? I grew up in Auburn Me.

I saw Toy about a year or two before he passed in a tiny pub in Auburn ,Me.. There may have been about 30 people in the whole place.What a show !!!!!!!!!! I sat about 20 feet from the stage and was just amazed at how he could play with no pick.Seems like MTB were up here in Maine a couple times a yr.To get to my point,as you said Toy should have sung them also.That night he would make comments like" I wrote this song and someone else sang it.So fuck'em I wrote it I'll sing it anyway I want!!!!!!

Ive got many kin in South Carolina. They go back to 1873.

This a great song.I've listened to you guys sence 74. I stood in rain for 4/5 hrs.,in Memphis to see 2nd show it wasn't a dispoiment.That was Decatied tour still got my tshirt. Wished I wasn't so big so I could wear it. Jerome Shumate

Simply the best! I miss Toy and Tommy and George. I just loved them.what a great time to live. MTV, CDB, Outlaws forever!

My thoughts exactly ... The VERY best times in the human kinds history❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋

Thanks. This was my dad's favorite band as he grew up in South Carolina and GA. I enjoy listening to this group as they were southern rock with a unique progressive sound.

toy wrote almost all of them. should have sang them all too. that doug grey sucked.

love it

didn't know they had so many great songs

sadly it left with them

awesome still love you guys God works in all of us if we let him

After the first verse, you know this man had wonderful values and saddens me to know we've lost a wonderful spirit as well a great songwriter. An absolute AWEsome LP and song. Saw them twice and would give my left one to see them again as they were in the 70s.

Next to M>T>B> Country Tucker, this is my favorite album, bar none!

Thank You Toy

I love this song to death. Bought the album in 1973 for Heard it in a Love Song, but this song is the classic on the album. I have tried to get ole Willie Nelson to cover it, because it is in his range, tempo, and theme material. This song just needs Willie to make young people discover it anew. spread the word!

Right there with you on that one.... So many unheard hits on this album.... The answer is I love you, your the only thing, that keeps me from all wrong.... ooohhhhhhh

Best song from maybe their best album in my opinion. Love Doug Gray's vocals on this tune. He's really feeling it here....and so am I. Wish I could go back to 1979 one last time to see these guys live and in their prime. Those were some good days.

WHERE DID THIS MUSIC GO !!

@Bonita772 Nope it don't

they are my absolute favorite..all of it!!

This is certainly on my top 50 all time albums. Beautifully written music all the way through. Toy was a major talent. Love it.

Love it all

@bluegills2 Cool, somebody feels like I do when I hear Toy, on any instrument.

This is from back in the day...I remember when this album was new, and like Bonita722, know every single song. I knew a Bonita in Cuba a long time ago, wondering if she might have been there?

Yes, best tune on the album!

Thanks for this,Ltrainxpress.Much appreciated.I have to add that Toy played pedal steel on many MT songs...including this one.His haunting pedal steel makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up,no matter how many times I hear it.Without question one of the most underrated guitarists of our time.

Thanks for posting! Brings back good memories!

this is my favorite MT song thank you for posting xpress! i got to see them in phoenix back in 72 wish i could see the origanal band again . . . . thanx again

what a great band.

another good one
