Good morning Tuesday people and welcome back to Stuck In The Vinyl Again. Today we remember lead guitarist and founding member of Southern rock band, The Marshall Tucker Band, Toy Caldwell, on this, the 27th anniversary of hs death. He died in 1993, age 45, from cardiac arrest brought on by cocaine use. With him in mind, we spotlight the group's third album, Where We All Belong. The double LP (one disc studio/one disc live) was released in November of 1974 on the now defunct Capricorn Records. It peaked at #54 on the Billboard 200 and was produced by Pail Hornsby. Among the album's guest musicians are Charlie Daniels and fellow record mate Elvin Bishop.
