The debut solo album from Marcus King, El Dorado, is a revelation. Passionate, penetrating and deeply soulful, it weaves soul music, gospel, R&B and country into a something modern and classic.
Teaming with producer Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) for sessions at Auerbach’s Easy Eye Studio in Nashville, the pair co-wrote the 11 songs on El Dorado along with esteemed writers on various tracks including Pat McLaughlin, Paul Overstreet and Ronnie Bowman. It’s remarkable then, given the album’s dazzling musical pedigree, that its Marcus’ next-generation talent that brings it all together and makes the album so special.
