How the hell can he be so good. How do you play those fills, and runs, and rythm with NO band, and still carry it... dude is talented beyond anything people even understand.....holy crap.

[@timbernard8783]

He sure makes it look easy. And it isn't...

[@ericwaters3587]

My 27 year old son brought this genius , prodigy. I'm forever grateful. He brought me this album not long after my 19 year old son passed away from heart complications Marcus you saved my soul. Thank you my Chaser would have loved this

[@anthonytapia8821]

Future Hall of Fame inductee.!!!

[@blademan6075]

Nah, He is better than most RRHOF members. He needs his own wing in the hall with the likes of Allman Brothers, Warren Haynes, Allen Collins, Guthrie Goven, Hendrix, SRV, BB, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Robert Johnson, Derek Trucks, Clapton, Dickie Betts, the entire band “The Eagles” and Skynyrd and the list goes on and on. You get the idea. In other words; there’s members of the RRHOF and then there’s musical and guitar Royalty. No hall can hold them.

[@johnbagewll2321]

This guy is off the charts old soul.

Tonight for me on a PBS Special....Makin this old 74 yr old lady staying up late!!

[@joejohnston2104]

saw him in Dallas last year as the warm up band for Kid Rock. F in amazing.

[@jordandotson9354]

Marcus and Billy strings together is the kinda pair that is a blessing from father God. Give them their flowers while they are here as it is easy to take for granted. Much like everyone that got to see Hendrix, Beatles, cream, SRV, etc. thanks for sharing these very sincere, personal performances with us and keeping the feels like we are just chilling in a room with the artist 🤙❤️ God bless you all and hope you have an amazing day 💕❤️✝️

[@Sscott1985]

Saw him in St Pete a couple weeks ago and didn’t want the show to end. Can’t wait to see him again live. Nobody out quite like him with his soul, passion and talent all mixed in one.

[@johnbagewll2321]

Man I just can’t get over the talent this cat has.

[@Jz2CoolDude]

Are you kidding me?!?! Beautiful Stranger is a dead set classic tune for the ages. Blew my frickin mind wow 🤯🎶👌

[@deej19142]

100% agree with you! In fact when I first heard it I thought it was a 50 year old classic being redone. WOW!!!

[@OneTon677]

Give me chills.. man that young man ain't nothing but fire.

[@rogerd9150]

I absolutely agree!

[@chevtrukman]

That song is a timeless hit with just him and the guitar. It needs nothing else!

this is the vangaurd of musical excellence for his generation. God Bless the Carolinas.

[@Jack_all]

I always like the acoustic versions ( i.e: tiny desk concerts, etc)better than the studio full band versions. I wish they'd release these as singles, sometimes a talent like this doesn't need to be over produced and including background singers etc.. imo.

[@Vox.n.keyzzz]

sir, i could not agree with u more! ill gladly take a live acoustic performance, & preferably one in a smaller venue, (the smaller the better) like @tiny desk or when an artist goes into a radio station and play a few songs live over the air, etc..ill pick the more intimate organic live unedited performance every single time without fail. i prefer all the live acoustic versions of my favorite songs over any professional studio album version that ive ever heard. the studio versions of most songs tend to sound way to over produced, with way too much distraction going on in the background.... alot of the time they add so much extra nonsence to a track in the studio, and it ends up sounding soo far away from how the artist couldve ever possibly meant for it to sound when they first sat down & wrote it, that it hardly even sounds like the same song at all! and when you DO finally get to hear the artist play it live/acoustic, youre like ahh-ha! so THIS is how the song was actually supposed to have sounded all along. just the way the ARTIST meant for it to sound when they wrote the damn thing. anything more than that just isnt really nessesary...and it only ends up taking away rather than adding something to the experience. at least in my opinion. ✌😉

[@tylerwilkerson191]

Bobby Robertson, nailed it. Raw, uncut talent without the studio twist is the best. I agree 100%. No need to dress it up when you got that talent.

[@DaleClements]

This Recording Is Definitely Single Worthy!!

[@kylethomas2488]

Yes agree 100%..This version of One Day She's Here is nuts. I'd like to see him do a solo acoustic tour

[@bhupikaushal]

Totally and utterly agree... It shows the real talent...

[@jonathanlittledave3412]

[@bellycuda]

There are two types of people, people who listened to Marcus King, and those who are yet to listen to Marcus King. Comparatives are lost on this raw talent, he's quite simply the best there is right now.

[@guitarsword1]

Wildflowers and Wine . What a tune , what a performance . And the tag tune , The Well, what a finale . This kid is the gift.

[@MissionRidgeRoad]

Great questions dude!

[@gregorysmith5375]

Other than bringing one of the next great up and coming artists, in all the interviews that I've seen him in including the questions within this video, Marcus king never says the wrong thing, all his answers is straight forward and amazingly consistent to what's being asked...what a down to earth kinda guy, keep it up bro,

[@DaveBullockcowboy]

😮real deal

[@DaveBullockcowboy]

Ya share.......

[@markdeano]

His wealth of knowledge, according to Marcus is his family history foundation that passed wisdom and passion into his young soul, a soul that was like a sponge ready to absorb and boy oh boy did he ever. Guitar skills at his level are only obtained by a blessing of natural ability with Tiger Woods dedication to perfect skills to a new level....hours per day of practice and sharpening his incredible skill. He is a special young man we're blessed to hear and see perform.

[@FreddyFuFu]

This is precious

[@Vox.n.keyzzz]

until this morning...as of about 3 hrs ago, i had never heard of this guy before. & yet somehow, as i sit here in awe of such talent, listening to him sing...i feel his voice & tunes are already burned into my heart & soul forever. in my experience the only thing in this universe with the power to make somebody feel that way is music, & that is straight up magical. i kinda feel like musicians are the ones who weild the power of magic in modern times. like merlin the magician, except with a guitar instead of a wand. just like the band Heart said, "hes a magic man, mama.." lol.

[@wingracer1614]

I never heard of him until about 10 minutes ago. Now I'm in awe.
