What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Not a huge southern rock fan but this'll do. Formed in South Carolina in 1971 by brothers Toy and Tommy Caldwell, who are both deceased, the band had it's day. Closest comparison has to be the Allmans who they toured with early on, but these guys have a little more country in them. After the death of Tommy in 1980 (car accident), the band slowly faded from the scene. Formally disbanding in 1983, they reformed without Toy, but never reclaimed their former status. Still together I guess with an album last out in 2007. This is the groups fourth album with a couple of classics for me. Guest appearances by Charlie Daniels and Dickie Betts. The album reached #15 on the U.S. charts, with singles of Fire On The Mountain at #38 and Can't You See at #75. More of a jam band than a singles band. Some rubbish on here also, but it averages out. Most of this will lean country but there are attempts to stretch out to some jazz, which doesn't work for me.
