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.

[@lotsofhairbutnomoney3705]

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

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.

[@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.

[@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....

[@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.

[@fredm.9031]

That's an old soul if ever there was one! Sing it boy.

[@scooterboy67]

Does anyone know, if to be that good at playing AND have a voice like that, would the Devil would require one soul, or two? Asking for a friend.

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

[@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.

[@lloydhamilton2086]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@stephenbernard1828]

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

[@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 !!

You can’t teach that voice. Fkn wow. What a find. All buzzed cruzin the interwebs. Love it

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

[@dmdm-pd2hm]

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

[@MusicHeartofMine2012]

Come on boy! This is as good a combination of the old and new as you will ever get. Marcus is paying homage to Merle Haggard.

[@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

[@lektrikbass]

Wish the bassist would have stepped up.

[@addicted2tone349]

I literally listen to this song and watch this about twice a week.. He's got licks, just a monster player and blues singer..

[@trygtunes1633]

I saw Marcus King at the old fillmore in San Francisco I was there as a boy back in the days of yore up-and-coming youngster and a classic old school venue. Merle haggard song sung by Marcus King and sounding like Ray Charles extremely righteous !!!

Jesus just found this...a cover of my favorite honky tonk tune EVER

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

[@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...

[@garymoore8711]

That is one laid back bass player. Such a subtle under tone to Marcus. Damn if I don't love Carter Guitars!

I need to be educated as well. 3rd or 4th time I've listened to this and each time I get a new perspective. This kid is something!
