In my 1st car I kept a shoe box full of 8track tapes (Part2) [View all]

Some came and went as they inevitably destroyed themselves the way 8tracks always did.
A few others I would always replace as soon as I had the pocket change to buy another copy.
This series talks about the permanent records (hehe)
In the mid to late 70s Southern rock was a pretty popular genre all over America. I heard that the Allman Brothers were huge in NY and San Francisco for instance.
But Southern/Country Rock was the main rock genre where I came up.
We listened to all of it, not just big nationally known bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd , 38 Special or the Allmans.
My favorite Southern Rock band was on the next rung down the ladder as far as popularity went but had originality and musicianship by the truck load.
The Marshall Tucker Band.
Now the MTB 8tracks I had in my car were kind of a greatest hits records, and at least once it was the actual " Greatest Hits By The Marshall Tucker Band" the others were truck stop bargain bin "Compilations" I'd pickup for $2.98 or so on the road.
The track list varied a little bit, but the big tunes were always on them - Take the Highway, Heard it in A love Song etc.
But why highlight songs we all know already?
