Biography:
Toy Caldwell was the talented lead guitarist for The Marshall Tucker Band. His playing style was distinctive; he picked the strings with his right thumb. He was heavily influenced by "cowboy culture", and many of the songs he wrote reflect that, but he wasn't a "country artist". His style was more bluesy, but he could cross into jazz, rock, or just make that guitar wail! His signature song is MTB's "Can't You See" both for the bluesy guitar and the soulful vocal performance.
