Marcus King Trio - SRV tribute on Stevie Ray's birthday: half of "Scuttle Buttin'" and "The Sky is Cryin' " (live)

I didn't know a Tele could do that. And yep, Stevie Ray would love this kid.

[@gdsmith4246]

I'm very much a strat guy, but yeah a Tele can kick quite a bit of ass.

[@shannonhondo260]

I’m a Strat guy as well but the Tele can get dirty and has that beautiful Twang too

[@cary67]

I'm a Tele guy, but you could plug a 2x4 into that Marshall and it would sound killer.

Playing SRV on a tele in standard tuning, this kid is the real deal. He writes, sings and plays with wild abandon but has the character of an old soul. He's a gift from above to all of us.

The Blues Is alive and well..and his last name happens to be king ...carrying on the great tradition of the other Kings!! Damn he lit it up on this one..

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

Marcus King is the real deal. This kid can play the guitar, sing and write songs with the best of them. He was playing gigs with his dad’s band when he was in grade school. Had his own band in High School that played professional. There is a reason Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks have had him on stage. They recognize his talent.

[@davidsiegeld576]

Saw him last month. While he did not cover any SRV or play this type of blues, he still exceeded my high expectations and just blew me away. Such an incredible show and talent. Can't wait to see him again. He makes magic happen on stage.

He's already a legend brother! It's been e reaaaal long time since a guitar player like this appears. Perhaps he could shred just a tiny bit less, and put some more "g spot" bends, but who am i to say anything? That voice is unique as well! Long live the blues and soul hahahaha

[@DavidJones-hb2hu]

[@musaabidi1092]

Man bet you didn't think when he switched. Marcus is King! King of Blues

[@roderickbalt8993]

Marcus is simply genius, he is very original and often plays songs in a very barebones way but then goes off and does the most complex jazzy shit😊. Not to mention the absolute magnitude of his singing voice and musical talent on and off the guitar. But he can grow in many ways too and hopefully that will happen without him self destructing

[@salisburyparanormal1]

I said no one could play the blues like SRV, I was wrong. My new favorite!

[@loilt5091]

His older brother, Jimmie Lee Vaughan, is the superior blues guitarist of the two. Stevie would tell you that, too…more original, says far more with less flash & a journeyman’s economy of taste & tone. Saw SRV 5 times live, from his initial, ‘83 Tour, opening for the Moody Blues, to his final one in ‘90…co-headlining with Joe Cocker, a few months before his tragic death. Respectfully, both brothers are virtuosos, but Jimmie’s the real deal, beyond the blues-lite, Olympic flash & dash. Listen to some of the true heavyweights in the genre, beyond the white, blues rockers & a few obvious, big names.

[@kitano0]

First time I've seen him play a Tele, or a Fender of any kind. Wheeew! Such a great singer, too...

[@StratOnFire]

[@ChristophHenrici]

Now this young man is a real musician, what a voice , what otherworldly chops, but always as means to the goal of communicating the music. F or me guys like him are carrying the banner for Blues Rock, not like all those self satisfying “guitarists” in the tow of the whacky narcissistic Joe Bonamassa ….. this is about music dot. He is certainly transcending SRV. He is his own man, unique , just like SRV was. Hat off, Marcus King.

[@loilt5091]

SRV spent too much of his short, recorded career, lifting Hendrix & Albert King solo’s, note for note. Sure he had some great, original’s, but I felt he was finally maturing, finding his OWN voice, at the time of his passing. The great, Johnny Winter, had his own style, right from his ‘68 debut…can’t say that about Stevie.
