Marshall Tucker Re-masters

MT was a band I listened to in the 70's then kind of forgot about. I liked then alright, and they were great in concert, but I never thought they were on par with country rock bands such as the Allman Brothers. I had the album "Where we all Belong" long ago, but don't know where it is now. I came across the re-mastered cd recently and bought it. Well, MT is pretty darn good. Good songs, kind of jazzy at times (how many country bands have a flute or sax). Also the late Toy Caldwell was a hell of a guitar picker. The sound quality is also very good in my opinion, I plan on getting some more.

The Marshall Tucker Band Remasters "Carolina Dreams" (2004/Shout DK37526) sounds as good as any 'audiophile' CD I have heard.
In fact,besides loving this recording,it is one of the CD's I use for evaluating cables,tubes etc.
The whole CD is awesome.Check out 'Desert Skys'and 'Never Trust A Stranger' for some serious foot tapping.

I initiated a thread on this a week ago, but the Agon moderators never approved ??! Anyway, I issued a WARNING , having just purhasec MTB's first album, re-mastered by Shout. It is absolutely the worst sounding piece of crap I now own. If this re master is an improvement, I cant imagine how bad the original had to sound.There is no bass, and the drums are almost non existent. I was wondering if they all sound this bad...

I'm still playing the Capricorn Vinyl releases of WWAB, Searching For A Rainbow, Long Hard Ride. No complaints here.

As an aside---for anyone who has the vinyl version of "Where We All Belong", the album cover is a work of art---something that the CD format sadly cannot offer on the same scale.
