    Marcus King Sobers Up and Rocks Out

    Marcus King is helping revive guitar-rock in country music, while also working on himself. The South Carolina guitar-slinger joins us in the Nashville Now cabin to talk about getting sober (an Ozzy Osbourne quote inspired him), his new album Darling Blue, and the time he was caught sneaking into a club to give Warren Haynes a demo tape. King also gets candid about the response to his wife Briley King’s cover of “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.”  It’s a conversation of Southern rock, self-awareness, and soul searching.

    Welcome back to the Rolling Stone Interview video podcast. This week, Deputy Music Editor Simon Vozick-Levinson sits down with 73-year-old art-pop luminary David Byrne. In this intimate and wide-ranging conversation, Byrne reflects on the arc of his career – from frontman of Talking Heads to his daring solo explorations – and offers a fresh insight into his new album Who Is the Sky?.
