OK, i've said this before and i'll say it again. This band is the only blues band on the scene that brings something new to the table. Marcus is the long awaited guitar hero of our generation.
In my opinion the best guitarist on the planet right now!! An absolute legend....not listened to anyone else for several months since I discovered him on Spotify
This is so bad ass! As great as their usual stuff is, I wouldn’t mind more of these jazz inspired charts. Solos were killer and the band sounds great in this context.
IT was bitter sweet seeing MK at the CMA awards. big kudos for someone bringing him in. That top 40 country music is soooo bad today and MK is soooo far above that level. Rock on man. That bunch doesn't deserve You, Billy or Tyler.
I hear ya Michael! I am old school guitarist and followed the the Grateful Dead in the early 80s til I had to grow up and get a job haha. But I've always been into Zep blues based and delved more into jazz rock ala Allman Bros.,Santana and saw some Gov't Mule Warren Haynes stuff. And of course Hendrix SRV but I'm SO glad to see this music on You-Tube and they're young! Good music is good music PERIOD. I also dig on Jack White cause he represents old school mixed with NOW.
Man they really do kill it from the major Allman Brothers sound, hints of the more country side like Marshall Tucker Band, then you get jams like this with some Steely Dan and Chick Corea vibes. Some of the songs on his album with the song "Radio Soldier" even have a little Beatles feel to them! Of course he can shred and swing with the best blues players and jazz artists. I'd love to see his band team up with Billy Strings! Talk about a battle of the virtuosos!
Jaysus f Christ, this is SO much 'more' than Blues. Not that that's a 'good' or 'bad' thing. It's just so refreshing. I think this represents 'progress', albeit on the shoulders of forebear-giants.
Best new band to come around in years! They’re so damn good, I think they can go a long way toward filling the gaping chasm left by the sad, yet inevitable, demise of the Allman Brothers Band. These guys are worthy to carry that torch, if you ask me. R.I.P., Gregg and bravo, Markus & Co.
Stephen Campbell is THE SHIT!!. Baddest "unheard of" out here right now. Tasty, dynamic when he needs to be - minimal, but still carrying the groove, when the passage calls for it. So articulate and clean also.
For the 8 people that gave the thumbs down. And really for anyone else that does. You don't like real music. You have no soul. Sometimes you just shut up and play.
@ I saw him over the summer and only one original band member left…. The drummer. Only played a couple of his older songs that were ballads….. nothing rocking or jazz/fusion.
Pertaining to the comparison of Allman Brothers. Not that Dickie wasn't a good guitar player, but Marcus studied jazz and that really sets him apart from the southern rock style of Dickie. The cool part is Marcus has a few more genres of music up his sleeve. I'm really diggin his ability to leaving us waiting for " whats he gonna do next" because it's all good stuff.
Saw you in Seattle 2020 and holy smokes! Keep on keeping on. I have actually converted people to you and your band! Think about that.... dude you have converts aka disciples .
Not my line but worth repeating - Marcus lives in Blues Town but with a Jazz river running through it. As to what other band is fusing so many genres - Tedeschi Trucks Band goes awfully close. Final thing - even some elements of Santana rhythm and lead at times. Me likey too!!!!!!
I can’t wait for Marcus to get a little older and get some more control on his playing! He’s really good, but I enjoy more constraint like a Kirk Fletcher, or something more like Robin Ford. I know this is more jazz, so Pat Metheny would be a suitable person to make note of, or some old Montgomery would do it! Just a little more constraint. Maybe it’s the way these other guys use comp chords to push the solo along and the delivery of it. Can’t explain it, although I’m a huge fan of what’s happening here and only criticizing because of the love I have for true music like this.
He might be a bluesman but he does have a formal training in Jazz theory. So dont be surprise in some of his solos he will turn on the switch and be in the Jazz mode!
OK, i've said this before and i'll say it again. This band is the only blues band on the scene that brings something new to the table. Marcus is the long awaited guitar hero of our generation.
Amen.
After the deaths in the Allman Brothers Marcus was a nice welcome reward when Southern Music took a hit.
Agreed. The future of the blues is Marcus King. Long live the king!
this was well outside of the blues and I hope these guys keep going in this direction
Agreed
In my opinion the best guitarist on the planet right now!! An absolute legend....not listened to anyone else for several months since I discovered him on Spotify
For Blues I agree
Holy cow! A Southern rock/blues player killing jazz! Biggest fan!
What would the purists’ say. A young man playing all over the place with so much class, confidence and passion. Keep on doing what you do so, so well.
This is so bad ass! As great as their usual stuff is, I wouldn’t mind more of these jazz inspired charts. Solos were killer and the band sounds great in this context.
The talent in that room is insane!!!!! Adore this!!!!
Thank you Universe.🌌. This!!!!!
One of the best in along time.
Damn these guys are deep. This is Bop, I've heard Blue eyed soul from Marcus, Blues, Southern rock. Wow.
Indeed.
Love it! Modern day Allman brothers. Killin it..
Amazing. Allman Bros. are thus channeled.
Marcus, you are special! Keep serving up your amazing creativity across the musical spectrum. You are bringing joy to many ears.
The bass player is F-ng KILLING IT.....
This is some Bad Ass Delicious Groovin' !
Marcus is a star on the rise ! Spread the word brothers and sisters !
IT was bitter sweet seeing MK at the CMA awards. big kudos for someone bringing him in. That top 40 country music is soooo bad today and MK is soooo far above that level. Rock on man. That bunch doesn't deserve You, Billy or Tyler.
Hard to articulate with words how good this is… amazing
These guys are killing it! They've been in heavy rotation for me the last few weeks since I found out about them. Good stuff!
I hear ya Michael! I am old school guitarist and followed the the Grateful Dead in the early 80s til I had to grow up and get a job haha. But I've always been into Zep blues based and delved more into jazz rock ala Allman Bros.,Santana and saw some Gov't Mule Warren Haynes stuff. And of course Hendrix SRV but I'm SO glad to see this music on You-Tube and they're young! Good music is good music PERIOD.
I also dig on Jack White cause he represents old school mixed with NOW.
What a killer epic tune !
The Marcus King Band has a range of talent and excels in different styles of music. What other bands can do this today?
Man they really do kill it from the major Allman Brothers sound, hints of the more country side like Marshall Tucker Band, then you get jams like this with some Steely Dan and Chick Corea vibes. Some of the songs on his album with the song "Radio Soldier" even have a little Beatles feel to them! Of course he can shred and swing with the best blues players and jazz artists.

The mixdown on this is SUPERB. And the band ALSO!!!!
Absolut great❤️✌️🖖
Great tune! Man it's so nice to hear this group cook.
The best thing I’ve heard in years
WOW, WTF is this? I thought he was a blues man? This is jazz to the nth degree.....me likey!!!!!!!!!
He studied jazz that's why he's proficient with it. So badass right
Horn section is killer! As is the rest of the band. Amazing!
Amazing guys, I'm in heaven
The drummer is amazing , the bass is amazing the rest are ditto, very tight stuff jazzy stuff
Best new band to come around in years! They’re so damn good, I think they can go a long way toward filling the gaping chasm left by the sad, yet inevitable, demise of the Allman Brothers Band. These guys are worthy to carry that torch, if you ask me. R.I.P., Gregg and bravo, Markus & Co.
This video and this band needs more attention! Each one of them are amazing!
dude that bass player gets it in
Stephen Campbell is THE SHIT!!. Baddest "unheard of" out here right now. Tasty, dynamic when he needs to be - minimal, but still carrying the groove, when the passage calls for it. So articulate and clean also.
Murderers row. So f’n good!!! Thanks for posting! Cheers from Hawaii!!!
Didn't know Alan Iverson was such a great trumpeteer!! ...just poking a little fun, love you guys!! ;)
All it takes is a little practice...
I'm loving it!
Serious CHOPS! BRAVO!
Back again after a week or so, can't get enough of this band. Original and fresh. Love it. Merry Christmas MKB.
keep making more music like this please ! my daily listen
The generosity of this band is amazing. Each member is solid.
For the 8 people that gave the thumbs down. And really for anyone else that does. You don't like real music. You have no soul. Sometimes you just shut up and play.
How anyone could give thumbs down really is hard to understand and probably sings along to their Katie Perry CD or is grooving on some Bieber instead.
The first dude to take to a stage in ancient Greece was called Thespis hence the word thespian (actor) . This is just greatness.
kick ass song
I love these guys
AWESOME!
Sweet Mother Jesus!
Yes!!!!!
I can close my eye and hear Charley Daniels "No where left to go."
It’s a shame this part of his sound is dead and gone. 😢
If you go to his show, he stills plays jazz infused stuff. Just saw him about 3 months ago and he did
@ I saw him over the summer and only one original band member left…. The drummer. Only played a couple of his older songs that were ballads….. nothing rocking or jazz/fusion.
Damn that horn with beedly deedly deedly bow
And then the sax with elephant trunk shit was like zphewwwww
Awesome!!!!!
Almost too good to be true. These guys are tight. Keep at it MKB. #OldSouls
Holy smokes!!
Uffff tremendo
And I have to say at 4: min Mr. Zappa would say "Great Googly Moogly"
I was thinking the same thing.
LOL You are 100% right. FZ would have said that for sure.
Pertaining to the comparison of Allman Brothers. Not that Dickie wasn't a good guitar player, but Marcus studied jazz and that really sets him apart from the southern rock style of Dickie.

This is my evidence that rock songs would be great pieces to perform in high school and college jazz bands. This and Whipping Post.
A reincarnation of Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention! Marcus and his band hit all the genres, and do it so well!
Saw you in Seattle 2020 and holy smokes! Keep on keeping on. I have actually converted people to you and your band! Think about that.... dude you have converts aka disciples .
Thespianage!
great band, great arrangement and not at least a true guitar virtuoso
Watching in 2020...does that make Marcus 17yr old when this was filmed?!
His voice is good but where he shines is just playin those blues mixed jazz runs with horns and organ its a winner.
drummer is hell. only 3 piece set
Cowboy Bebop!
😂😂😂
I've never ever heard a bad mix of these guys...
Not my line but worth repeating - Marcus lives in Blues Town but with a Jazz river running through it. As to what other band is fusing so many genres - Tedeschi Trucks Band goes awfully close. Final thing - even some elements of Santana rhythm and lead at times. Me likey too!!!!!!
tinde!
Just Gained a Fan !
Every cats have tasty grooves.
That boy has a vocabulary. My goodness!
What's the amp he's using? Quite smaller than his usual super reverbs.
Has a Trucks "desdemona" vibe
Have you seen our latest session with The Marcus King Band? th-cam.com/play/PL2WI4mMDDI__XfT3HXNngOe8lybXpYF7b.html
think john McLaughlin Birds of Fire, this is fusion ya'll
The bass guitarist goes by the name GODZILLA!
