Everybody knows how great of a guitarist he is, but his voice is something you just can’t teach. This kid has an absolute gift and one of the best voices out there. Unreal talent.

Ok I’m 55 and music is what keeps me going. Where did this cat come from? Unbelievable!!!! I have listened to just several tracks At a music store and I have to say this young man and Billy Strings are it. God has certainly blessed these guys with something very special. They should put this out on a album.

[@rachaelmardon1752]

I’d love an album of markus and Billie strings just doing classic songs that would be so dope churr

[@nelsonbermudez8273]

Fuck yes!!!

[@Shiloh8548]

I’ve recently introduced Marcus king to Some of my Black friends and at first just let them listen to him through only audio. My brothers thought for sure this guy was an old African American soul from the Mississippi delta, or Memphis. They were blown away when they found out Marcus is a 24 year old white guy. Now we all just listen and contemplate just what this boy has been through in his young life to be able to sing with that kind of feeling!

[@dixonhill1108]

I saw the kid and thought he was the guitar store owner's son or something just hanging around with adults. Then I realized this kid is just gifted.

[@AlahuSnackbar]

at least 50% of the downvotes are because of his jeans I'm guessing

[@ryanalopez3078]

It's funny how petty and idiotic grown men can be. You're talking about someone's jeans really? Which one of you could play like that I highly doubt it why don't you try to put on some jeans or even put a guitar on your neck post it on KZbin and see what happens

[@jasonkinser1241]

@scooterboy67, the best comment about Marcus King that I've seen. And, unfortunately, I think two souls were required for this level of talent.

[@petermyers5793]

Best singer, best guitar player, best song writer on planet earth today. Has to already be one of the greatest of all time.

[@jamesfoley2658]

Marcus has just got it, he can play different music styles on the the guitar, country , bluesy, jazzy, and he has such a powerful raspy voice like Janis Joplin or a heavy church lady in the choir . He sings with his soul.

[@jellytelivision6054]

Yep. All of it.

[@jamesstout6006]

I love this version Marcus can sing and play so well and hits the mark on this one. I consider myself somewhere between blues and country so I really dig this

[@roccowalsh7271]

He's simply fucking incredible. I've been fortunate enough to see MKB play 3 times already, it may number in the hundreds after all is said and done.

[@tylerhoneycutt1669]

This comment right here. He’s one guy that the ticket price will never matter to me and I’ll always be close to the stage. An absolute generational talent. Not to mention his band is great!

[@popvultureinc5007]

Truly a gifted performer. Love these guys.

[@carsonnconner]

THIS is music. I love every aspect of his modern blues style and sound.

[@ARMALPEEd]

Boy, howdy Marcus, The best stand-alone blues singer to pop up in years and years. I would buy an album of this in a heartbeari.

[@hillbillydranyam7915]

Everytime I feel mainstream music is going to shit I catch my 10 yr old singing lonesome fugitive or swinging doors....... Makes me proud to know he gets his taste in music from his old man😏. Marcus is a breath of life the industry has been needing for a decade... Check him out with Billie Strings 🤤.... Goosebumps....

[@jimdowns1135]

I love hearing Marcus sing and play country! Of course he is awesome to watch no matter what he plays.

[@stephenbernard1828]

No peddles there! Pure Fender greatness! Mr. King has the touch too!

[@alanvaughan2937]

Move over ..EVERYONE ..this kid is just the best thing out there right now ..wish him all the best... saw him open for Trucks a few weeks ago .very early gig and people were just getting comfy setting up there chairs and stuff two songs in the crowd were on their feet ,lightning bolt from above...

[@lloydhamilton2086]

Marcus with his voice and guitar brings it all to you.

[@gangnamstylegrandpa6352]

Pure soul ! He wrings out every drop of emotion out of his guitar , and his vocals have matured to the point where they fit his playing perfectly !! Gotta love this guy ! He is the real deal !!

[@ZTeal256]

This is too good. The blues lives in his soul for sure.

[@prestonipkendanz6709]

i need this on a spotify playlist immediately...on repeat

Thanks again Rolling Stone! Every week, you introduce me to a new talent! Never heard of Marcus King until 5 mins ago. Awesome! A new Fan

[@workcloz]

his voice is amazing...smooth as honey yet has that grit plus exceptional guitar ability

[@grateful3300]

I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years and Marcus had more moves in the first 20 seconds than I have ever played. Brilliant.

[@wbosteen]

I thought I had the BEST version then I heard Marcus play and sing and question my understanding of what the best is...❤❤❤❤❤

[@dmdm-pd2hm]

Have to admit this one made me hit the replay button a few times

[@daniellange4736]

Definitely goes straight to my soul! Love his music!!

[@grumblekin]

Got the guitar and vocals so tight. Good music comes from great minds and Marcus has one of the greatest!

[@clemsontigz1]

This guy is literally the next Hendrix , Stevie Ray Vaughan, when it comes to being revolutionary, guitar players know what I'm saying. His cadence on the guitar is ridiculous , jaw dropping how clean he is

[@sanjeevsubba3665]

this is exactly what I think. The guy is not just good, he is exraordinary. Don't know how this is possible and it is a real mystery to me how in so young age he can play like that. His solos are just brilliant, really can't stop enjoyng watching him play for more than a year, since I first saw him on youtube. He is aleady among the best players we all had around for last 20-30-40 years, I don't know if people will agree on that but it is just a solid fact for me. Seems he was playing last 50 -60 years of his life but again I don't undertand how it is possible. Let alone the singing which just adds up to that but his guitar playing is just stunning. The guy is the absolute mistery for me and thanks God we have him.

[@taggmanibanez]

I live a couple streets over from him in Greenville SC., it's crazy between 15 to 17 years old he literally transformed into the greatest guitar player I had ever seen.... , the other thing is, everything you see him do in videos is really the tip of the iceberg. I have seen him do things that seem literally psychically impossible, and he retains an almost hyper-musicality ( not shredding ). His memory for tunes is insane, his pacing too, it reminds me of Band of Gypsys Hendrix, just constant mind blown.

[@chriskozub8012]

clemsontigz1 nah he’s Marcus king.

[@paulhamrick9092]

taggmanibanez plus Marcus just seems like a great guy. I think he will be the new king of all the Kings, if he isn’t already

That, right there, was the very first Fender guitar I ever saw in the "wood," so-to-speak, around 1959. It absolutely crushed me and was the neatest thing I had ever seen, at 11 or 12 years of age.
