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

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!!!!

[@jamesdeangio8796]

The miccing is impeccable, I believe that things called "the can"

[@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…❤️

[@gracecase998]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@luc2o]

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

[@caroleconnelly956]

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

[@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

[@reidjames6]

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

[@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.

[@coconut561]

Love this old tune, so well done😢

I was in the store the day they were recording. So awesome to hear, even through the door!!

[@butchcassidy3373]

Love Marcus and the music he's playing. Hope to see him again live soon. Very talented kid who only gets better.

[@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.

[@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.
