MARCUS KING, what a name! The fame will surely follow, certainly live, in the wake of debut 'Soul Insight' and then there’s another 'new self-titled LP out now on Fantasy Records.'

Right from the start, this very healthy young American from South Carolina delivers the best blues rock on the market. Think: The Allman Brothers (that he has already smoothly covered) with injections of funky R&B or Americana, or in his own words: 'soul-influenced psychedelic southern rock.'

'Young master King's voice and guitar are the focal point, plus the likes of extra energetic horns and organ sounds, and all that stands for roots, growth and elation.

Or, maybe another reference? This Marcus has already played with John Medeski, but would also like to play together with the rest of Medeski Martin & Woods sometime.

The bravure! The blues! The best!
