Toy Caldwell was best known as the lead guitarist and main songwriter in
the Marshall Tucker Band. A unique personality as well as a formidable musician, he was a peer of both
Dickey Betts and
Charlie Daniels, and his best work crossed effortlessly between country, blues, and rock & roll. A few years after the breakup of
the Marshall Tucker Band in the late '80s, he re-emerged as leader of the Toy Caldwell Band, which played small-scale shows of the kind that
the Marshall Tucker Band couldn't do. He also recorded one solo album before his death in early 1993. Although most of his fame inevitably rests with
the Marshall Tucker Band,
Caldwell left behind a small but glorious body of solo material. ~ Bruce Eder
