Spartanburg, South Carolina's Marshall Tucker Band were southern-rock pioneers, their blend of rock, rhythm and blues, jazz, country and gospel helped establish the Southern rock genre in the early 1970s. As Rolling Stone magazine noted: "...along with the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd (they) shared blues, boogie and jazz influences. (But) MTB's chief songwriter/guitarist Toy Caldwell also drew heavily from country and bluegrass.

"On the band's self-titled debut, the fiddle-friendly song 'Hillbilly Band' was a genuine barn-burner, with Caldwell openly professing his love for country music; the rolling, acoustic guitar and gentle, AM-friendly harmonies of 'AB's Song' could pass for the latest from the Zac Brown Band; and with MTB's sprawling improvisations, it's not that difficult to draw a line to jam bands such as Phish — or back to Zac Brown again, who regularly covers MTB's 1977 hit 'Heard It in a Love Song." — Rolling Stone, 50 Rock Albums Every Country Fan Should Own
