Marcus King - "Wildflowers & Wine" (Recorded Live for World Cafe)

[@picker1975]

I've been playing guitar and singing solo for 25 years, and I can't rightfully explain just how incredibly difficult it is to do what MK is doing here. Just him and his guitar, no effects, one take, and the execution is simply flawless. Not sure I've ever seen a better combo of songwriting, vocal character, and axe chops in someone under 30. Just incredible and soul-restoring to know there are savants like this out there...

[@ChrisHarrisWaco]

This exactly encapsulates how it makes me feel. And the dude is giving an absolute clinic in chord inversions while he's at it.

[@shanetaylor6676]

Nobody can say it better than that.

[@ttothep1]

True I’ve been playing guitar since 94. I can play but not like this. Incredible

[@picker1975]

@@ChrisHarrisWaco No doubt. My biggest 'AHA' moment with guitar was figuring out I can play any chord anywhere on the board using inversions. I was about 20 years deep into my journey before I figured it out though lol...

Slowpoke if you can’t see why don’t ask lol. His phrasing and walk downs and not too mention his vocal ability. The real deal, my buddy got to perform with him at Clapton’s festival last year and that was the first time I saw him live. Marcus is a true talent and I been a even bigger fan then I was before since that show.

My buddy knows him and I went to see them perform together at a fest in Texas last year and wow I been an even bigger fan since. It was awesome it was just them two and guitars it was great.

I was playing apple radio on a small speaker on my balcony one night that I couldnt sleep when suddenly, this song comes on. My wife came out and found me listening to this by myself and asked if I was depressed or something so I told her to sit and listen with me because then she would would understand. I started the song over and neither of us said a single word the entire time it was playing. I immediately took to youtube and found this version...I'm hooked.

[@roymoore3156]

I first heard MK playing a guitar at “Norm’s rare guitars” a few years ago. Think he’s a kid now, a few years ago his voice was lagging behind his playing. It appears that now they’re catching up w/each other. This young man is the real McCoy!

[@nunezgabriel98]

Just saw him and Derek trucks live at lockn farm. Both of them are generational talents. Marcus brought some serious energy with his solos.

[@seanyuke3249]

I'm under a rock. I never knew of him until I saw and heard him do his bit on the playing for change version of The Weight with RR, Ringo etc etc. With him and the Marshall Tucker Band...and probably others, I think there is definitely something about South Carolina that agrees with me.
