Doug Gray Talks Marshall Tucker and Soul of the South and His Long Career
Image: NELO Mijangos The Marshall Tucker Band first got together in the early 70s—absent of anyone actually named Marshall Tucker. The impetus for a name occurred when original members Tommy Caldwell, Paul T. Riddle, George McCorkle, and Jerry Eubanks were rehearsing at an old warehouse in South Carolina. Not so much an urgent search for an identity as it was to fill their stomachs. Overdue for dinner, they abruptly settled on the name they found on the key that opened the building. 40 years later, and after hits like "Fire on the Mountain" and "Can’t You See," the legacy is not going anywhere, but only Doug Gray remains.
