And let's give credit where credit is due : his band is tight.

[dmartin]

This guy will make you happy in your darkest days, and he and his band are on another planet. I’m so thankful I got to see him live a few years ago.

[DovahKanye]

And people say that rock is dying because we've seen every possible sound and combination, yet here we are with yet another legend in the making.

[geemac]

This guy should be the biggest thing in music right now.

[STaSHZILLA]

The best part of my time on the internet is the discovery of Marcus King and Billy Strings.

[rexvisitor]

Aretha Franklin and Stevie Ray's love child.

When was this recorded? Simon quit the band 2 months ago.

The Marcus King Band and Tedeschi Trucks Band - these two bands are as good as it gets, keeping the flame and creating new greatness.

[NatureGirl]

I’m in heaven. This is phenomenal, and I’ve missed horns so much — such a big part of 1970s sound. Thank you, Marcus, for being an old soul.

Marcus represents the new high level rock guitarist and singer of this generation. And his band fucking smokes so hard, he can just take us away on his magic carpet ride. This band, and Marcus, are the real deal. Nothing touches this band, IMO, at this time, as far as that true emotional, raw rock improv coming from high-level players. This is it, folks, right here!

[Rockinbluesron]

And Marcus writes and arranges most tunes. His setlist changes every night. His smile is a mile wide! What a Band!!

[reyrodriguez]

Marcus is way beyond his years musical/instrumental maturity. Dude is on a another level. It’s beautiful to watch him succeed

[kevinwilliams]

This band is my absolute favorite. Marcus is a guitarist from an era long past. His style us infectious and I'm glad for it. Their drummer is the truth, he can beat the hell outta those skins.

[acehays]

This kid started out great and is getting better to the point where I don't even know how to characterize this. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this.

[loydmac]

I'm 48 years old and I just discovered this guy. I'm completely obsessed. Holy crap what a revelation!

[danapekarchick]

July 4th morning...on the carport drinking coffee...shucking corn...and grooving to this music!!!

[tammwint]

His voice is unbelievable, but let’s give it up for the entire band including his guitar skills! I’m absolutely blown away 🔥

[TedMayors-tbhc]

I'm hitting 60 was afraid this would go away, , , this is very very good 👍 ❤

[paperbank]

Sounds like Janis Joplin and joe cocker had a great night at Woodstock... he’s the result... what a genius! 🤘👌
