Soul Insight, the 2014 debut from Greenville, SC-based guitar phenom and songwriter Marcus King, pressed here as a 2xLP vinyl set. Featuring riff-driven rockers and big burnished tones, as well as a distinctive acoustic side, the album revealed King's talents as performer, arranger, and producer to the world at large. With King's singing slide resonator guitar and voice building to explosive crescendos, it echoes the influence of his guitar heroes Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, and Jimi Hendrix, as well as soul influences Marvin Gaye, Ray LaMontagne, Gary Clark Jr., and others. Produced by King and recorded at The Compound Studios in California, the album features King on lead vocals and guitar, Jack Ryan on drums, Anthony House on bass, and Alex Abercrombie on organ and keyboards, with additional musicians Etienne Rivera on percussion, Harold Todd on tenor saxophone and flute, and Rafa on trumpet. King has described the recording as a very organic experience.
