The Church of Southern Rock: New Southern Rock All Star CD becomes a memorial to Marshall Tucker's George McCorkle - Bruce Wall 2007
The following excerpts are from the article:
"Recording of a new "Southern Rock" project got under way in Nashville recently. Originally slated to appear on the CD were legends like George McCorkle (Marshall Tucker Band), Jimmie Hall (Wet Willie), Steve Gorman (Black Crowes), Dan Toler (Allman Bros, Dickie Betts), Henry Paul (Outlaws, and Black Hawk) and Bo Bice. Unfortunately, just days prior to the sessions George McCorkle entered the hospital, and passed away of cancer. George was very excited about the project and having a couple of his new songs cut. He was really looking forward to working with his old friends again."
"So what are my thoughts and impressions of this project? Well, if you are a Southern Rock fan, this CD will absolutely be a must have. As just a music fan, I think this is one of the best records to come out in the last 10 years. Upon leaving the studio that evening, I was completely drained. I cried, laughed, and danced (that's right, I challenge you not to dance when you hear this CD!). I returned to George's side the next morning and told him, "Your Brothers are doing you proud!" What a fitting studio, lineup, and song selection."
