Tunesday: Marshall Tucker Band – See You One More Time

The New American Digest Posted on May 19, 2026 by DTMay 19, 2026

A sample of some obscure - and maybe not obscure - tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.

Today's selection: Marshall Tucker Band - "See You One More Time" 1980

Marshall Tucker Band was one of the highlight bands of the "Southern rock" genre of the mid/late 70s. They released their first album in 1973. The original band had dissipated by 1984. The co-founder and bassist had died in a car accident and the band never regained the success of the 70s. A band under the same name still exists with one remaining original member of the band.

This cut is taken from the last album released by the original line-up, recorded in 1980.

Recent personal events led me to put this cut up more or less as a prayer to a few that have passed on.
Guess I'm getting on to that stage of my life ...

My favorite cut by the band is "Fire On The Mountain" which will probably show up on some Tunesday in the future.

"So Long. See You All a Little Further Down the Road"

When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I’ve known in my life
And no hard feelings

Avett Brothers - No Hard Feelings

The Feral Irishman

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
and there ain't no place I'm goin' to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning,
I'll come followin' you

Take me for a trip upon
your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere,
I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it


Men who saw night coming down about them could somehow act as if they stood at the edge of dawn.


From Gerard's site. The picture always caught my eye.
