Marcus King

Mood Swings is the latest album from South Carolina native, Marcus King, the Grammy-nominated artist, performer, guitarist and songwriter. Produced by Rick Rubin at his famous Shangri-La studios in Malibu, due via Snakefarm in the UK. The music here is deeply personal, driven by King’s emotive vocals as much his revered guitar work, and whilst the subjects dealt with are often raw in nature (heartache, addiction, mental health), there’s always a sense of hope in the power of the voice.

The Marcus King Band have already given fans reason to believe they are destined for great things. At 22 years of age, Marcus King has been a bandleader for a decade and tipped as “music’s next great guitarist” by the Washington Post. But the band’s daring, ambitious new album, Carolina Confessions, marks an artistic leap of another order. Set for release on October 5th, 2018 on Fantasy Records, the album was produced and mixed by Grammy Award-winner Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) and recorded at Nashville’s iconic RCA Studio A. And it finds the band’s trademark musicianship buoyed by a new narrative depth, as Marcus delves into heavy themes: absolution, guilt, leaving home, yearning, love and other affairs of the soul.

The second album of the just 20-year-old Marcus King and his band. A total of 13 songs by Marcus King and his fellow musicians, drummer and percussionist Jack Ryan, bassist Stephen Campbell, keyboardist and organist Matt Jennings, saxophonist Dean Mitchell, and trombonist Justin Johnson for 'The Marcus King Band'. Marcus plays the guitars, from acoustic and electric to pedal and lap steel guitar. Have a listen to his soulful singing. The result is an extraordinary blend of blues, rock, soul, country and Americana. Special guests: Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, who is also the producer of the CD.
