The soul of James Brown, the hands of Eric Clapton and the voice of the south. Marcus and the band are one of the very best new talents of thier generation, my generation.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. This band is so unbelievably tight. Marcus is a phenomenal performer but damn does this band compliment him and just groove with him. Just unbelievable how synced they are.
This kid started out great and is getting better to the point where I don't even know how to characterize this. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this.
AMEN. I feel I am going to live again. 😊 I am 73 and these last four years have almost killed me. Nothing like good music to compete with even the good stuff.

you're clueless, rey. he'll be 27 in March. the beatles, clapton, hendrix, SRV, van halen, allen collins, jim morrison, randy rhoads and 100+ rock stars were all accomplished well before 26 years old.
@@RobertMJohnson these people you listed are all in there youth in the Peak of rock n roll 🤦♂️🤷♂️ were definitely not in anything like those times so new inspiration is much fewer and further in between.... So 27 is quite young to be as good as he is without the benifits of a peak environment/era.... So to say Roy knows nothing it's just baseless and you being rude just to be rude.
@@RobertMJohnson But...we aren't talking about those people right now, are we? He wasn't comparing...now here you are, "taking" away from this guys original post...
@@RobertMJohnson And then call him clueless, because YOU changed the subject.....dude...the hell? What you said was not even remotely related to this guy's comment...narcissistic much?
i would throw the Allman Betts band in there also. Live they are amazing. Originals as good as the songs they play from their heritage! Gov't Mule great too.
Been listening to this guy for about 6 years now. My daughter took me to see him in Hartford, CT. Old guys like me took their 16-20 yr olds and young people also took their parents. Great night and great vibe for one of my bucket list bands including TTB, Santana, Bonnie Raitt.
The old timers from my generation need to step away now and make room for greatness...like this kid and his band. Honestly, does it get any better than this? Not really!
Marcus represents the new high level rock guitarist and singer of this generation. And his band fucking smokes so hard, he can just take us away on his magic carpet ride. This band, and Marcus, are the real deal. Nothing touches this band, IMO, at this time, as far as that true emotional, raw rock improv coming from high-level players. This is it, folks, right here!
The only other current rock bands that could hold up to this are Greta Van Fleet and Tedeschi Trucks. Solid vocals with a shredding lead guitarist bringing back the solo!
@@RamusRemi indeed i have. i stumbled upon them by chance about ten years back give or take. Theyre great, but, its very difficult, maybe impossible, to find a definite comparison when it comes to this amazing phenomenon, ive stopped trying dude! In years to come its Marcus Kings name that will be used when people are saying "Ive not heard anything like this since....." or "They'rre good but they're no ....... band" ;-)
same dude!! Haven't been a fan of anyone for a long time..this guy gives me hope there are young crew comin up that can do it the way it should be done..amen!
This band is my absolute favorite. Marcus is a guitarist from an era long past. His style us infectious and I'm glad for it. Their drummer is the truth, he can beat the hell outta those skins.
I don’t really see why it’s not either!! if it’s geared towards worship it can take any form as long as it helps you connect in a spiritual way, I’m hoping to do that kind of thing one day if I can find a church that’s down
Stumbled upon this video a couple months ago. First was totally hooked with first riff and guitar tone on Where I'm Headed, then he started to sing and I thought, "what the hell have I just discovered." Then he played the first guitar solo and I almost hit the floor. Been obsessed with Marcus ever since.
@@jasbails9857 we can still hear some imperfection in the backing vocals, but I'd much rather listen to that than the overly autotuned vocals in most modern music
57:46 mins of pure musical pleasure this Guy and his band are quite something so nice to listen to actual great music not like so much of whats out these days
I'm still buzzing I watched this guy in Portland a few weeks ago. I have been to many shows and watched great talent but this guy is something special. Amazing voice and guitar skills second to none. He plays from somewhere special and you can feel his energy through his sound.

Garrett Carrico He’s a perfectionist. Jack has been with him forever. Dean, Justin, and Stephen have been with him for about 4 years. They just can’t seem to find a steady keyboard player. They are on there 3rd one this year. DeShawn, Simon, then whoever they have now.
Rock,Blues,Jam Live He’s a perfectionist? Lol that’s a bit pretentious now... Is that why he canned his boy the day before Lock’n? 🤔 makes you want to think why they can’t maintain chemistry.
Oh Good Lord! The first song of the session is just an amazing feel good beat! The sound of this band and Marcus’ guitar work and vocals are bigger than life! Thank God, here’s real music coming from our future generation.
King's one of those artists that just let's it do what it do! The kinda stuff you can't teach. It's a gift from the heart, and a feel from the soul. Knowing music theory is one thing. yet in theory, how you play the music is another!
funny I met him when he was an unknown kid, he was hitchin a ride from greenville up to this heady speak easy in asheville for a soul jam… I’m real happy for his success :))
Who says no one makes real music these days??! Asheville is my hometown and it warms my heart to see a Carolina boy bring this level of music to the world 🙌🏼
Gabe Fore my whole family is from Asheville,the Capps family.I stay in Atlanta and I’m a blues player myself,I’d love to move up there and start a band,so much great talent coming out of the mountains.
Real music. What does that even mean? There are many styles of music and they are all real. You just probably have a soft spot for this roots Americana nonsense
@@cleftturnip7774 Of course there are many types of music. I never said this is the only kind of “real” music. You may want to re-read the original post. I’m actually saying that anyone who states there is no real music anymore is wrong, and Marcus is but one of many examples.
Is it me or the performance of Confessions is absolutely stunning? Unreal! So much emotion and intensity. Don't give me wrong, this whole live is one of the best we can find on RUclips from The Marcus King Band. But man, this Confessions performance. I kept watching it again and again, almost every day for 2 months.
I believe the expression is ... "Join the Club" !!! Not really 'Obsessed' .. but, CLOSE! .. lol .. Just started this page ... be the 1st to 'join in' Gavin ... facebook.com/MK-ULTRA-107550181026280
Marcus King band has killer feel and soul what else do you need to hear from a band. Marcus Kings guitar playing just blows me away his singing just grabs you. I saw this band in Orlando and I loved every minute if this band on stage.
Been following Marcus since i saw him posting videos of himself playing guitar in his room... AMAZING. DREAMS COME TRUE. With hard work, dedication & passion.
John Mayer's Trio band used to be able to hit these sweet spots when he used to do Jazz/Blues, since then it has been hard to find another. Marcus King Band has filled that void and is amazing.
no this shit has been going on since 46 with Muddy Waters . chuc berry ,stones , james brown .allman bros ,canned heat ,janis ,johnny winter ,lil feat ,j geils , joe walsh . Srv ,Charlie sexton , Warren Haynes , Derek Trucks ,TTB , Allman Betts band , jeff healy , Tyler Childers OR Billy Strings .try em out theres more , synthesizers cant keep a good band down . dont forget to Boogie .
I'm a bass player and have seen some serious bassists live in my life... seeing this dude with MKB was lifechanging. This guy isn't human. He just thumps and hammers for the entire set, there are no simple basslines. Super underrated cat among bassists.
How did I not know about this band until now? Seriously, how is Marcus King not headlining a tour? He is just literally one of the best artists performing right now
He sets the bar high for professionalism. It seems like everything Marcus does live sounds like it was recorded in studio. The guy is just that polished and getting better everyday. He has that Buddy Guy jam style down to a science.
I'm a pretty crappy guitar player, but I'm good enough to recognize greatness, and this kid's got it. While his lead playing is amazing, I think it's what he's doing when not playing lead that I find so stellar. I imagine all those years as a kid backing his father and grandfather is what has turned him into a fantastic rhythm player.
I know by your comment that you are very familiar with the King family history in music and especially guitar work. You’re correct, Marcus played back up rhythm guitar many a night for his dad and granddad and all it did for him was make him better and to learn to give space to anyone playing alongside of him. Case and point, watch him play along side of Warren Haynes. He is respectful of the old school masters and helps them sound even better but when it’s time for his lead play he doesn’t try to upstage what Warren just played unless Warren gives him the nod that it’s okay to rip! The other guitar player that used just as much respect when playing along side of the masters was Stevie Ray Vaughan when playing with the likes of Buddy Guy and Albert King. Though he could have melted the stage he chose not to every time. It’s just humbling to watch that kind of respect. Derek Trucks is another respectful player when he is playing with the masters and he has played with just about all of them. It’s good to read your comment and know you understand.
Yesterday I was so saddened by the passing of one of the godfathers of Southern rock Mr. Charlie Daniels. I am seeing this for the first time and my sadness has turned to pure and absolute elation. Southern rock is now the powerhouse genre of music in America and hopefully will be for a very long time. I consider myself to be truly blessed to be alive to witness this new generation of Southern musicians and Southern music. The south has done it again and may they rock on forever . God Bless and preserve the sound of the South. Amor y Paz.
@randycollins7910 ok so funny u should bring up Charlie on this page .i think that Markus is from the CAROLINAS . Well i am an old CDB fan too , and i once heard Charlie , i think ,say he was from the carolinas origanally . a place called Coldstove .just a few acres on the road type of place . did u ever hear of that place ?
As a local of Greenville, SC, I am so proud of this young man. I drive by where he studied guitar at the Fine Arts Center just about everyday. My dad lives only a half a mile from there. Keep rockin man! Keep rockin for Greenville!
@@gracecase998 whats the case Grace ? How was the show . what was your hi lite of the show ? i saw him way back in 2016 --17 ? raw but hungry and showed trucloads of Potential .!
New Zealand reporting in : I too am completely down the rabbit hole with Marcus and the band. Love the bassist so much. Marcus is so so so 🔥 slick LOVE HIM
holy crap, I knew Marcus was someone special but to hear him grow into something this solid, powerful, creative and emotionally deep is inspiring. So glad to see the bravery of choosing to close by playing "outside" and off the radio and doing it with so much conviction. YES! thank you.
Marcus has been an inspiration to many of us as well. He is so down to earth and relaxed not only in his playing but in his connection to the wider community. He's a real gem of a human being! It's an extra bonus that he can shred on a guitar but we would love him no matter what he did for living.
Just discovered this band and man... can't stop listening to all the albums. Not one song is lesser quality than the others. This is farout the best band I've heard in the last years. Every sound, every instrument is in perfect harmony with the lead singer's addictive voice. I'm blown away by this sound and hoping they will perform in Europe some day! Glad to be hearing much more of Marcus King and his incredible band. Thank you for putting a musical smile on my face again.
It was the first Echo Sessions concert where I discovered Marcus King. Un-freaking-believable talent. Going to see him tomorrow night, so I'm listening right now to get in the mood! Thanks for making your way up to Toronto, Marcus!
@@randylahey3909 I dead wouldn't be surprised if some old hippie summoned woodstock og ghosts there and drowning in LSD they had a child. That might make Marcus immortal so ig well see
It's a 'Gibson ES-355' .. A beautiful instrument. Marcus calls his 'Big Red' !!! An amazing guitar played here, by an even more amazing 24 year old guitarist, singer and composer .. Marcus King. ~ images.reverb.com/image/upload/s--_ARnA724--/f_auto,t_large/v1571253336/lcpnpyl6beqynqxtzor7.png ~ $4495.00 ??? I don't know that ANY guitar is worth that much. I guess if you're a collector .. of just filthy rich .. maybe. reverb.com/p/gibson-es-355-with-bigsby-cherry-2014
He had a show in my city last weekend, and I'll tell ya this dude leaves it all up on the stage. An absolutely insane guitarist with roaring vocals. Performed for 2 and a half hours!
Wow! Marcus has so much going for him. His voice is incredible and the bluesy guitar is so good. His band is really good and they work together so good. The last song is truly a southern blues song that hits home. Marcus keep it goin my friend !
Yup, me too. He's certainly an ego squisher! I hate him so much and totally love him, its very disheartening! Thank the gods he aint a bronzed chisel cheeked stud muffin too or i'd have to scream and scream and stomp my feets!
Another one to watchg if you like watching legends grow up is Christone "KIngfish" Ingram. Was one of B.B. KIngs last young players he helped out. He is like Marcus just keeps getting better.
Was flicking through FB and someone mentioned that this guy played Dublin (Ireland) and they were suitably impressed. So, here i am checking him out on RUclips and WOW he is something else. Absolutely fantastic
The lead-off "Where I'm Headed" is monstrous - love it! This version just rocks so right. Its album Carolina Confessions is excellent, but for this song, this live version is AWESOME!!!
![Seungmin "그렇게, 천천히, 우리(As we are)" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kAzmhLHePqU/mqdefault.jpg)
This guy should be the biggest thing in music right now.
That’s what’s wrong with music these days. These kinds of musicians can save lives and change people. And yet you turn on the radio and want to puke 🤢
That's reserved for Tedeschi Trucks.....but Marcus could be second biggest
@@michaelbiddle2356 you sure Ray Lamontagna shouldn't have the #1 spot?
Agreed, but until blues rock makes a comeback with the younger generation, it's gonna be mostly middle aged dudes that appreciate this stuff.
💙💙💙💙💙
And people say that rock is dying because we've seen every possible sound and combination, yet here we are with yet another legend in the making.
Far from over

The best part of my time on the internet is the discovery of Marcus King and Billy Strings.
good call. Both of them are once-in-a-generation talents who came along right when they were needed the most.
They are both great, but I’m a way bigger Marcus King fan just because of his style. But, there’s no doubt Billy is a powerhouse also.
Me too!
Wow I was just thinking the very same thing :) 🙏
Same here. Saw Marcus King live this year, november it's Billy his turn :)
This guy will make you happy in your darkest days, and he and his band are on another planet. I’m so thankful I got to see him live a few years ago.
The soul of James Brown, the hands of Eric Clapton and the voice of the south. Marcus and the band are one of the very best new talents of thier generation, my generation.
And let's give credit where credit is due : his band is tight.
fuckin duh
As a bandleader, there is nothing, I mean nothing like killer sidemen that can sing too. All these kids are clearly training, and musically literate.
Tighter than the tambourine skin - that's for sure ;p
Just goes to show that you can find really good musicians anywhere, even in your home town, like he did.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. This band is so unbelievably tight. Marcus is a phenomenal performer but damn does this band compliment him and just groove with him. Just unbelievable how synced they are.
This kid started out great and is getting better to the point where I don't even know how to characterize this. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this.
Agreed! And thanks for tuning in
Between Billy Strings and Marcus King, God is at last filling the void. Rock ON

And Marcus writes and arranges most tunes. His setlist changes every night. His smile is a mile wide! What a Band!!
Love this kid,pure talent.
I’m in heaven. This is phenomenal, and I’ve missed horns so much - such a big part of 1970s sound. Thank you, Marcus, for being an old soul.

Marcus King band has killer feel and soul what else do you need to hear from a band. Marcus Kings guitar playing just blows me away his singing just grabs you. I saw this band in Orlando and I loved every minute if this band on stage.
Goodbye Carolina will go down as one of the greatest songs in this genre book it.
Been following Marcus since i saw him posting videos of himself playing guitar in his room... AMAZING. DREAMS COME TRUE. With hard work, dedication & passion.
I really wish they had this session laid down on CD or vinyl!! It's just so superbadass, start to finish, just a really amazing jam.
Best band on the planet, so much variety with no repetition, even in his solos, amazing.
lol
Listen again. He's great, no doubt. But he's got a program.
The last time I saw someone playing a Gibson like that his name was Alvin Lee....who would be proud of Marcus I am sure.
Alvin was great! Not many people mention him but man was he talented
The best singer, songwriter and guitar player I've seen in a long time. And the band is awesome, too.
John Mayer's Trio band used to be able to hit these sweet spots when he used to do Jazz/Blues, since then it has been hard to find another. Marcus King Band has filled that void and is amazing.
Tedeschi Trucks....
@@tomkeefe46 Bros. Landreth, J.D. Simo, etc. Its hard to find yes but those bands are still out there
Mayer could never play or sing like this.
@@Mrmustard1380 Thank you for saying what i wanted to. Not on his best day could he come close to Marcus.
@@Mrmustard1380 That's just not true at all. Mayer is a phenomenal guitar player.
When the drummer is wearing pit viper sunglasses you know it's gonna be good
thats what I was thinking. I love the music.
Mr. King seems to be ushering in a brand new day in rock and roll.
no this shit has been going on since 46 with Muddy Waters . chuc berry ,stones , james brown .allman bros ,canned heat ,janis ,johnny winter ,lil feat ,j geils , joe walsh . Srv ,Charlie sexton , Warren Haynes , Derek Trucks ,TTB , Allman Betts band , jeff healy , Tyler Childers OR Billy Strings .try em out theres more , synthesizers cant keep a good band down . dont forget to Boogie .
That bass & drummer are tight! This whole band is crazy good.
true!
Amen, and he's solid and stands by his band!
I was just thinking the same thing, solid backbone. Dude on bass knows his stuff.
I'm a bass player and have seen some serious bassists live in my life... seeing this dude with MKB was lifechanging. This guy isn't human. He just thumps and hammers for the entire set, there are no simple basslines. Super underrated cat among bassists.
If you liked his drumer check out the Delvon Lamar Organ trio.
How did I not know about this band until now? Seriously, how is Marcus King not headlining a tour? He is just literally one of the best artists performing right now
his first lp was 2016 .
He sets the bar high for professionalism. It seems like everything Marcus does live sounds like it was recorded in studio. The guy is just that polished and getting better everyday. He has that Buddy Guy jam style down to a science.
I'm a pretty crappy guitar player, but I'm good enough to recognize greatness, and this kid's got it. While his lead playing is amazing, I think it's what he's doing when not playing lead that I find so stellar. I imagine all those years as a kid backing his father and grandfather is what has turned him into a fantastic rhythm player.
Agree with everything you said. Great talent.
It’s his unique voice. He’s a very good guitar player but the voice, the voice.
He’s a full house with Aces high!
You're right man! He's a 4th generation musician, that pot just kept getting more rich every generation.
I know by your comment that you are very familiar with the King family history in music and especially guitar work.
You’re correct, Marcus played back up rhythm guitar many a night for his dad and granddad and all it did for him was make him better and to learn to give space to anyone playing alongside of him. Case and point, watch him play along side of Warren Haynes. He is respectful of the old school masters and helps them sound even better but when it’s time for his lead play he doesn’t try to upstage what Warren just played unless Warren gives him the nod that it’s okay to rip! The other guitar player that used just as much respect when playing along side of the masters was Stevie Ray Vaughan when playing with the likes of Buddy Guy and Albert King. Though he could have melted the stage he chose not to every time. It’s just humbling to watch that kind of respect. Derek Trucks is another respectful player when he is playing with the masters and he has played with just about all of them. It’s good to read your comment and know you understand.
Yesterday I was so saddened by the passing of one of the godfathers of Southern rock Mr. Charlie Daniels. I am seeing this for the first time and my sadness has turned to pure and absolute elation. Southern rock is now the powerhouse genre of music in America and hopefully will be for a very long time. I consider myself to be truly blessed to be alive to witness this new generation of Southern musicians and Southern music. The south has done it again and may they rock on forever . God Bless and preserve the sound of the South. Amor y Paz.
@randycollins7910 ok so funny u should bring up Charlie on this page .i think that Markus is from the CAROLINAS . Well i am an old CDB fan too , and i once heard Charlie , i think ,say he was from the carolinas origanally . a place called Coldstove .just a few acres on the road type of place . did u ever hear of that place ?
you can immediately see he knows music inside and out! 4th generation of talent!
As a local of Greenville, SC, I am so proud of this young man. I drive by where he studied guitar at the Fine Arts Center just about everyday. My dad lives only a half a mile from there. Keep rockin man! Keep rockin for Greenville!
Marcus King is a genius.
His drummer is incredible.
The whole band is very good.
Thanks a lot.
I'm gonna see them in october in Madrid. I feel lucky.
Agreed. Enjoy the show in October. I just him last week. INCREDIBLE!!!
@@gracecase998
Cool ! 😊
@@gracecase998 whats the case Grace ? How was the show . what was your hi lite of the show ? i saw him way back in 2016 --17 ? raw but hungry and showed trucloads of Potential .!
@peterbetts858 show was fantastic. I saw him twice this year he was awesome.
New Zealand reporting in :
I too am completely down the rabbit hole with Marcus and the band. Love the bassist so much. Marcus is so so so 🔥 slick LOVE HIM
I second that. The bassist plays some very cool stuff...adds so much to the overall groove and sound.
Wonderful to see young men carrying the torch!
... for sure one of the greatest today's guitarists - and the band is awesome...
Damn! An old soul right here! I absolutely adore Marcus and his band!
Eternally gratefull to you Sir Warren Hayes for recognizing the incredible tallent of this young man, and making it possible to enjoy his music!
Overwhelmingly great! Marcus King, a voice like Otis Redding/Janis Joplin and guitar playing... how to even say? So goddamn good!
I haven't been this excited about a band in a long time.
holy crap, I knew Marcus was someone special but to hear him grow into something this solid, powerful, creative and emotionally deep is inspiring. So glad to see the bravery of choosing to close by playing "outside" and off the radio and doing it with so much conviction. YES! thank you.
Marcus has been an inspiration to many of us as well. He is so down to earth and relaxed not only in his playing but in his connection to the wider community. He's a real gem of a human being! It's an extra bonus that he can shred on a guitar but we would love him no matter what he did for living.
@@iamavl Well said. He's the kind of kid .. you'd be "proud" to call a "friend" ...
me love misc thank u misc
@@iamavl That's great to hear. Love what you do with these Echo Sessions. All the best to you and your colleagues.
Just discovered this band and man... can't stop listening to all the albums. Not one song is lesser quality than the others. This is farout the best band I've heard in the last years. Every sound, every instrument is in perfect harmony with the lead singer's addictive voice. I'm blown away by this sound and hoping they will perform in Europe some day! Glad to be hearing much more of Marcus King and his incredible band. Thank you for putting a musical smile on my face again.
whats yur favorite tune by mkb .its a country ditty , but i like Guitar in my Hand .
I'm here because of the YourMomsHousePodcast. This guy rocks!
now there's a cool guy
He definitely feathers it.
as high and tight as it gets
BEEEEEEEEEEEEH TAKE IT EASY!!
Following proto I see. keep featherin it brother.
One of the best bands out there right now is marcus king Band and marcus kills it every time. This kid was born with the blues in his soul.😊
Albert, BB, Freddie, Marcus ... These KINGS were born to reign The Grand Palace of the Blues.
onelove1968 You’re forgetting Freddie!!
@@564Dylan
Did not forget Freddie, he mentioned him
That Gibson in his hands takes it up a whole other notch.
Agreed! And have you seen the teasers for his new custom shop model? Tasty.
He’s actually playing the custom shop ES-345 in this performance. It was modeled after his original one that his dad passed down to him.
@@1telemaster Grandad?...
It's not the guitar.....
first the TTB now the Marcus King Band!
takes a little of the pain away not being able to go see
the Allman Brothers anymore.
Thanks for posting.
probably know this , but u need to chec out Duanne Betts or allman betts band .
@peterbetts858 good call I have and Duane is the spitting image of his dad!
This guys is so good that his new songs sound like classics! Literally a King of the Blues ! Long Life to this new KIng!
14:45 to 17:10…I had chill bumps over my whole body by the end. What an epic solo.
best version of my favorite song
It's fuc.......awesomeeeeeee!!!!!!! Bro
I've heard those guys last week, for the first time. They're already one of my favorites.
I've only just discovered Marcus King. Bloody hell he's good. The band is incredible too.
It was the first Echo Sessions concert where I discovered Marcus King. Un-freaking-believable talent. Going to see him tomorrow night, so I'm listening right now to get in the mood! Thanks for making your way up to Toronto, Marcus!
This was in Toronto Canada 🍁
As a north GA upper SC native so proud. Lived in Greenville when I was a kid. I'm at 15:52 and melted in my seat send help. this band fucking kills
Been playing music for30 years now.before i get out of bed,i grab my headphones and listen to Marcus,that's how i start my day.a musical god.
Great, great band and fantastic leader, Marcus King, extraordinary guitarist and great singer!
Sounds like Janis Joplin and joe cocker had a great night at Woodstock... he’s the result... what a genius! 🤘👌
you nailed it, especfially that opening t
track, little jimmy 2
Except that would make him 50 years old...
@@timhoovermusicman must be woodstock '99
@@timhoovermusicman His soul is probably older so...
@@randylahey3909 I dead wouldn't be surprised if some old hippie summoned woodstock og ghosts there and drowning in LSD they had a child. That might make Marcus immortal so ig well see
Came here because I am searching for
blues artists who plays Gibson!
This band's awesome.
It's a 'Gibson ES-355' .. A beautiful instrument. Marcus calls his 'Big Red' !!! An amazing guitar played here, by an even more amazing 24 year old guitarist, singer and composer .. Marcus King. ~

HOW can anyone give this a thumb down? seriously. Some of the best playing I have heard in a LOOONG time.
No weaknesses in his skills. Complete entertainer. Saving this right onto a playlist.
YYYYEEESSS, The future is here and its Marcus King!!
He had a show in my city last weekend, and I'll tell ya this dude leaves it all up on the stage. An absolutely insane guitarist with roaring vocals. Performed for 2 and a half hours!
Wow! Marcus has so much going for him. His voice is incredible and the bluesy guitar is so good. His band is really good and they work together so good. The last song is truly a southern blues song that hits home. Marcus keep it goin my friend !
Marcus makes me wanna throw my guitars away. He's too good.
My guitars are mad at me too. I don't touch them like he touches his. Jealous
Yup, me too. He's certainly an ego squisher! I hate him so much and totally love him, its very disheartening! Thank the gods he aint a bronzed chisel cheeked stud muffin too or i'd have to scream and scream and stomp my feets!
I watched this video so many times from beginning to end. MARCUS IS A ROCK GOD TO ME!
Can’t explain how they can be so incredibly good that I prefer them live then on records... hats off to MKB
The guitar hero we need for this next decade! What a beautiful thing... to watch the next legend literally evolving before our eyes WOW 🎸 🔥 👀 🙌
Another one to watchg if you like watching legends grow up is Christone "KIngfish" Ingram. Was one of B.B. KIngs last young players he helped out. He is like Marcus just keeps getting better.
It's awesome right! Life rips brother!
@@138NastyNate
Not trolling, hope that young brothers health improves or we're gonna get robbed of him too early.
Was flicking through FB and someone mentioned that this guy played Dublin (Ireland) and they were suitably impressed. So, here i am checking him out on RUclips and WOW he is something else. Absolutely fantastic
The lead-off "Where I'm Headed" is monstrous - love it! This version just rocks so right. Its album Carolina Confessions is excellent, but for this song, this live version is AWESOME!!!
Wow . The tune around the 40 min mark is outta sight. Boy can that guy shred ❤️
