Large groups of extremely talented pickers have been funneled into tiny geographical areas, such as Peach Tree County, Georgia. One of the newest recruits into these Confederate ranks established by groups like the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Wet Willie – is Toy Caldwell, lead guitarist of the Marshall Tucker Band.
