{"product_id":"marcus-king-el-dorado","title":"Marcus King - El Dorado","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarcus King's El Dorado, pressed on 180-gram vinyl, is the 2020 solo debut that showed the young guitar slinger could write songs as well as he plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlready known for fronting the Marcus King Band, the South Carolina musician stepped out under his own name and headed to Nashville to work with producer Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. Auerbach surrounded him with seasoned session players and steered him toward concise, soulful songs rooted in country, Southern rock and classic R\u0026amp;B, trading extended jams for craft and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Young Man's Dream\" opens the album with a gentle, aching reflection on growing up. \"Wildflowers \u0026amp; Wine\" glides on warm keys and easy charm, while \"Beautiful Stranger\" leans into Southern soul and \"Too Much Whiskey\" carries a rueful country lilt. King's guitar stays tasteful and lyrical throughout, but it is his voice, raspy and full of feeling, that steals the show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe record sounds like a classic-era album that somehow slipped through time, yet it never feels like a costume. There is real heartache under the polish, and King sings like he has lived every line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA heavyweight pressing suits all that warmth, making this a natural fit beside your favorite Muscle Shoals and Memphis records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518430454065,"sku":"888072118317","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Marcus_King-El_Dorado.jpg?v=1794677594","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/marcus-king-el-dorado","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
