: King primarily used his signature Gibson Les Paul Goldtop and vintage amplifiers to achieve the album's gritty, overdriven tone. Personal Themes and Narrative
Released on August 26, 2022, is the second solo studio album by American guitarist and singer-songwriter Marcus King. Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys at his Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville, the record represents a significant shift toward a "power trio" sound heavily influenced by 1970s stadium rock and blues. Artistic Direction and Production
The album is deeply personal, serving as a form of therapy for King during a period marked by addiction, severe depression, and personal loss.
: To capture an authentic energy, the album was recorded live in the studio over just six days. This included live vocals and guitar solos, a rarity in modern production.
: King and Auerbach aimed for a raw, high-voltage sound reminiscent of bands like Free, Bad Company, ZZ Top, and Grand Funk Railroad.
