re: Marcus King - “Mood Swings”

Saw him at Hogs for the Cause in 2017 - he shredded on the second stage. Saw him again at the Fillmore in 2022 (Neal Francis opened). More polished but still raw, in a good way.

To Midget's point, I think he's got the range to do various styles and do them well - like Charley Crockett bouncing between pure country, blues and R&B. I've heard the new album a couple times and it's definitely more slowed down with low-key bluesy vocals, heavy on organ and piano and less guitar, but very listenable. Like Wildflowers and Wine, which came out 4 years ago, only more mellow. Good background music while working. Not so much for cranking up in the car like his other stuff but that's fine.
