Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues // Marcus King

[@StokesMusicStudiosOnline]

I was playing a gig at wings down under on main st Greenville. No one was there. I asked "where is everybody?" my partner said "they're all at the corner pocket watching this kid named Marcus King" I said "dang I bet that's Marvin's son" that was the first time I heard of him. He's great and we're proud of him! His skills are earned.

[@dillonbrown2956]

Thats awsome. Im just now starting myself in Greenville. Any tips for giggin around here?

[@StokesMusicStudiosOnline]

@@dillonbrown2956 not really, it's a weird scene.. I only made money when I was willing to play all the standard covers. People in Greenville are different than Ashville or even Spartanburg. In those towns they liked my originals. In Greenville you gotta play brown eyed girl. Or be as good as Marcus I guess.

[@maedhrosv8449]

Early 2000s Marcus was like 6 years old though…

[@StokesMusicStudiosOnline]

@@maedhrosv8449 you are absolutely right! It must have been around 2012. Years run together when you're old and you wasted your time playing in dives every night. Marcus was a teenager whenever this happened. Wings down under was still open on main street.

[@Gayden9090]

I wish Carter’s would release digital singles of these sessions

[@caltorac6837]

Yeah I wish this recording was on Spotify

[@danielmonaghan8409]

I haven't heard a bad tune from this kid and others on here. I love it it would be the first cd I bought in years

[@ryanlocati5695]

Screen record on your iphone to mp3 conversion app. Then buy a carter’s t-shirt to support the cause ;)

[@jasonahern4179]

This dude has more talent in his pinky than 90% of musicians today have

[@joeurbanowski321]

His kinda talent is more rightfully called Soul…👍🏼

[@domg9186]

T R U T H.. I’ve seen him 5 times from day 1 when he started touring NW.. He was 19 the 1st time I saw him.. little diff lineup as if the present. But they Rock Live regardless of the lineup! If you haven’t seen them definitely go check them out LIVE

[@nickburchstead4448]

Ironically he hardly uses his pinky to play lol.

[@sharpenflat6002]

Oh, I resent that. This dude has a lot less talent than I do.

[@DeimosPC]

Being from the UK, I had never really listened to much soul, country or blues music. I moved to Indiana about 6 years ago and bought a beater car to get me from A to B. The radio only had one station programmed and it was a country and soul station.. From that moment I knew I had been missing out for the past 30 years. Finding Marcus has been a gift too.. Seriously. Makes even the most stressful days easier.

[@patrickslompddv]

Good for you! Listen to the original. 🙌🏻

[@1040ecapja]

That 335 is a show-stopper.

[@pc_enemy7844]

Haven’t really been interested in any artists for quite a few years until I just happened to see Marcus and Billy Strings on one of these videos about 6 months ago and was blown away, can’t get enough of their stuff. My guitars got dusted off and restrung, fingers are toughened up again and I’m having a blast! Just a guess but I think there are plenty of other people that might have done the same. Anyway, great video as usual, you younger guys are inspiring people to love this music once again. Thanks so much!

[@jamiebroglin7395]

Spot on my brother. Rock on.

[@ianandkimmaness4465]

At 43 I hadn’t been to a concert or inspired enough to go to one in a while. Made sure I saw him when they rolled through. Wasn’t disappointed.

[@stephenfisher1452]

Same! We saw him play last September at a music festival and had never heard him before then. He's incredible live if you get the chance to see him.

Thank you Dad for taking me to see this amazing talent live in concert!

[@rvmcwhorter]

That’s one cool ass dad !!

[@caroleconnelly956]

One of the most beautiful songs ever (thank you Danny O'Keefe) wonderfully arranged and played. Greatstuff!

[@Matthewtaylorn]

Jeez, this sound quality is insane, and their chemistry is so great. They sound like they have the same musical intuition as the legends. Wear good headphones when you watch the Carter videos!!!!!

[@chrisroley4155]

Absolutely bliss. Funny how these sad tunes can lift us all through these truly gifted musicians and the singer's of truth... Rock on Marcus and thanks again.

[@kristencallahan5567]

Well said

[@joeurbanowski321]

This punched me right in the heart.. One of the two best guitarists I had the good fortune to call bandmates..Tim Healy..RIP.. used to call me “GC”…” Goodtime Charlie… this rendition brought back so many memories…❤️

[@markhoffman2237]

This is the best cover I've ever heard of this classic song. Fantastic playing and singing!

[@kenhorneland7060]

Great song

[@jeffharper5031]

Charlie Crockett’s cover is better, but this one is great as well.

[@dennisburns3456]

Dwight Yoakum does a nice cover also

[@nathanielvargas3863]

This is definitely the best version of this song. Nobody even comes close

[@souettequinn4663]

Well, I just wept. I used to listen to this song laying in the dark back in the early 70's. With my limited knowledge of the world as a high school freshman living in rural Tennessee...I thought this was the saddest song I'd ever heard. And now, 50 years later, the words have more meaning. Amazing talent that Marcus. And Drew Smithers? Perfection. Thank you gentlemen. ~S

[@Colin2155]

Marcus, Drew and Mike have done justice worthy for this timeless classic. Marcus' soulful voice complemented by Drew's lilting slide guitar licks and Mike's haunting piano riffs combine for a remarkable listening experience. Well done guys!

[@luc2o]

I've said it before and it's worth saying again, I would buy an album of his guitar shop songs. Tremendous

[@gracecase998]

So in love with this version of the song. I grew up with this song. Marcus and team did it justice.

[@michaelmoss5976]

This is a fantastic rendition of my song I play when I'm thinking of my pops, Charles/Chuck/Charlie Moss...RIP

[@christophersmith3867]

I love this version. Marcus' voice captures the pain and despair contained in the lyrics. And that slide guitar really sets the rainy day tone.

[@timesupgr.8471]

Garth Brooks version is the worst.

[@shellydubray8759]

Love this song 💗

[@joeblackrides]

Thank you algorithm, love seeing this classic being embraced today.

[@reidjames6]

Met Drew Smithers last week in Oxford after the show. Truly the kindest most down to earth man I’ve ever talked to

[@toddwisenbaker3940]

This man is talented!

[@brandonruggieri711]

Everybody's goin' away Said they're movin' to LA There's not a soul I know around Everybody's leavin' town Some caught a freight, some caught a plane Find the sunshine, leave the rain They said this town's a waste of time I guess they're right, it's wastin' mine Some gotta win, some gotta lose Good time Charlie's got the blues Good time Charlie's got the blues Ya know my heart keeps tellin' me "You're not a kid at thirty-three" "Ya play around, ya lose your wife" "Ya play too long, you lose your life" I got my pills to ease the pain Can't find a thing to ease the rain I'd love to try and settle down But everybody's leavin' town Some gotta win, some gotta lose Good time Charlie's got the blues Good time Charlie's got the blues Good time Charlie's got the blues

[@chuckyt9083]

Absolutely phenomenal. Seems like Marcus King just gets better and better all the time. It’s about time someone like him came along to fill the void being left by the greats that are moving on.

I love Marcus King, he’s got soul and he’s forging a path that will make him a legend one day. Drew Smithers I find to be underrated because he’s got good feel, man. This is the first time I’ve heard Mike Runyon but I dig his playing, man. Great rendition, great playing.
