No not Tommy"s only song he had 4 others atleast inc this ole cowboy

[LynSkyn1981]

@302ponyboy This is the only song he sang Lead on, "this Ole' Cowboy" was originally sung by Toy Caldwell.

I think Tommy had the best voice in the entire band.

April 28 2010 is exactly 30 years since Tommy passed away to the Lord, may he still rest in peace!

When Tommy Died MTB died.

[LynSkyn1981]

I agree! But no matter who is part of the MTB today, the music will always live on!

Regardless of the nit picking who was who and who was best. These guys gave us some great music to enjoy for eternity. I cover their songs regularly and always smile with I sing their songs. And yes Toy was a fantastic guitarist. Blazing thumb.

@melodious110 cool song and name

[msmit245]

@melree30, Me too. My dad would always sing it to me, I never heard the original until now. He passed away June 14th, 2011, and this is the first time I've heard the MTB rendition. I would give the world away just to hear my dad sing it one more time.

I was lucky enough to see Marshall Tucker 13 times between 1976 and 1982 - 7 with Tommy - 6 without. One day in the spring of 1982, they announced on a friday that they would be giving a FREE concert the next day in Teaneck, NJ. They played for almost 2 1/2 hours. I was there, right up against the stage, George playing right in front of me. My cooler loaded with cold beer under the stage, I kept the Band from getting thirsty. It was good enough for an invite onto the Bus after the show. AWESOME!
