Toy Caldwell
Son of the South
by Bruce Brun
True, this is a rerelease of Toy's one and only solo album and true this album sounds as an extention of the Marshall Tucker Band. And yet, this southern boy struts his stuff, from the opening tune, "I Hear The South Calling Me" to the laid back "Night Life" with Willie Nelson.
After listening to this CD I have put Toy in my top ten of guitar players in the world. And I put this album in my top ten of blues/country. Even in 1992 when most of the album was recorded, the music still sounds as if recorded and issued yesterday.
A number of songs were recorded much earlier with the Marshall Tucker Band and were given another lease on life with this release, like "This Ol' Cowboy" and "Can't You See." Give credit to Tony Heatherly for doing a wonderful job with lead vocals on "Texas On My Mind." One last thought: If Toy Caldwell had lived to the present day, imagine the additional music he would have blessed us with! Click to purchase.
