The Marshall Tucker BandCan’t you see

I’m a bit confused… I could have sworn I heard this when I saw the arthouse knobfest movie Shortbus recently – I only recognised it coz someone had posted it on the DJH board and despite not being my habitual cuppa, it had struck me as a very beautiful song. There’s something about the way the haunting flute rises up in the beginning and disarms you and eases you into the country-tinged, good ol’ boys, southern rock of the rest of the song. Apparently, so I’m reliably informed, during the sevs the Tuckers gave The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd a run for their money in terms of jostling for the crown of the southern rock king.

Anyway, the reason I’m confused is that I’ve been looking on the OST, and it doesn’t seem to be there. Maybe I imagined the whole thing? Great film though. Funny, quirky, poignant, great soundtrack and loads of willies.

Normal disco service will be resumed at some point.

    I love Marshall Tucker. Really influenced the style I play and brings back lot of memories. Music is an emotional medium and this song was the bomb.
