MARCUS KING

Admittedly, CREEM had a bit of an issue coming up with the right nomenclature to describe Marcus King in this stunning shot. Standing in front of this absolutely jaw-dropping 1973 Cadillac Coupe DeVille in his native Nashville, would you refer to the rocker as boss? What about big daddy? Maybe it’s pimpin’, as in “What’s good, pimpin’”? Whatever your thesaurus decides is most appropriate, you can count on us bumpin’ his latest LP Mood Swings on repeat until we come up with it—we’re thinking that the blues-inflected riff lord will jar something loose with his tasty licks and god-tier soulful vocals. Come to think of it, maybe we’ll just keep it simple and stick with bad motherfucker.
