Carolina Dreams, the Marshall Tucker Band's sixth studio album, rolled out of Capricorn Records in 1977 with Paul Hornsby producing, and it plays like a love letter from the Spartanburg crew to their home state of South Carolina, dusted with cowboy imagery and open-range daydreams. This is the band that helped put Southern rock on the map by stirring blues, country, rock and jazz into one easygoing stew, and here the stew simmers low and sweet.
Toy Caldwell was still the main songwriter and lead guitarist, Doug Gray handled lead vocals, Jerry Eubanks threaded flute and sax through the arrangements, and George McCorkle, Paul Riddle and bassist Tommy Caldwell kept the groove loose-limbed. "Heard It In a Love Song" became their biggest hit yet, climbing to No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hauling the album up to No. 23 on the pop chart and No. 22 on the country side.
