Marcus King joins host Raina Douris

Marcus King has a new album out this Friday called Mood Swings. On the World Cafe, we revisit his 2022 session. The guitar virtuoso talks about how music helped keep him going through a difficult period. Despite how rockin’ his 2022 album, Young Blood, sounds, it was the product of some very tough years for King. Marcus shares what ultimately helped him find his way out of the darkness.
