For the Dec. 16 installment of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Marcus King performed a cut from his solo record El Dorado. The guitarist opted for the album standout "Wildflowers & Wine."
El Dorado marked Marcus King's debut solo record. It was produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and was recently nominated for Best Americana Album at the Grammys.
Earlier this year, King spoke with Relix about his solo record. “I was told that Dan Auerbach wanted to get together and do some writing,” he said. “It blew my mind. I was already a fan of his music but we had never actually crossed paths before. At the time, we had been on the road forever but I said, ‘I’ll change my trip.’ I went straight to Nashville without taking any time off. It was an honor to be able to stop what I was doing and go there. Time off is important to keep your mind sane, but this was a pretty special opportunity. Dan and I struck up a very good friendship, as well as a musical relationship that grew organically into the making of this record.”
