The Marshall Tucker Band Quotes

I've learned a lot of things from Paul and Stewart Levine and others that it's just amazing how they just let us play - as confused as we were - and never once restricted it and let it come together.
George McCorkle

I was always intrigued by story songs and it was always a challenge to write a complete story and get it in the structure of a song. I was very influenced by westerns, the early cowboys, in my childhood going to western movies. I think that's why I was influenced to write in that direction. Doug always got on me - I'm a wordy writer.

I�d known Doug for years, even before he was in Marshall Tucker. He used to rehearse with another band at his parent�s house, which was across the street from where my grandparents lived. I used to sit on their front porch steps and listen and say �Wow! There�s a band playing over there!� Anyway, in 1984 I was on the road with a lounge band when my buddy, Ace Allen, who�d joined MTB a few weeks before, called and said Doug might be giving me a call to ask if I wanted to join, too. Sure enough Doug called and I said �yeah, I�ll do it�!
