The song was originally recorded by the band on their 1975 album, Searchin' for a Rainbow, and released as the album's first single. It peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]. "Fire on the Mountain" was written by George McCorkle in the hopes that his friend Charlie Daniels would record it on the album of the same name. When Daniels decided not to use it, McCorkle recorded it with his band, The Marshall Tucker Band. It became the band's first Top 40 hit single and is one of the most popular Southern rock tunes.[2] The song's lyrics are set during the California gold rush. "Fire on the Mountain" details how a family that sets out from their home in North Carolina looking to make some money panning gold. In the end, the singer ends up getting shot and killed, and his widow is left behind with a worthless claim. Toy Caldwell plays steel guitar in the song, but it is out of tune because he didn't know how to tune it properly.[3] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the song is composed in the key of G Major with Toy Caldwell's vocal range spanning from D4 to G5.[4] Chart performance
