Marcus King shares an acoustic version of his song, “Wildflowers & Wine” on Billboard today. The original version of the song is featured on King‘s debut album, El Dorado, which garnered much success on the Billboard charts.
The album, produced by The Black Keys‘ Dan Auerbach, and released on Fantasy Records to critical acclaim. In the song’s accompanying music video, you can see it was recorded in Auerbach‘s Easy Eye Studio in Nashville. The video features King‘s soulful vocals, accompanied by Auerbach and studio legends that played with Aretha Franklin and Elvis.
During King‘s interview with Billboard, he stated, “It’s not the exact set-up we used, but all the instrumentation on that track was played live together as a cohesive unit and not overdubbed. That’s what gives it that taste, that live feel.” He added, “It was a lot of organic steps that all came together in a kismet way for the record to work. Having those cats work with you was a tremendous opportunity in itself… It’s still playing and singing, but in a different kind of environment, and to have these cats to look up to.”
