Black Vinyl LP

Released in 2022, Young Blood is King’s second solo album, following up El Dorado.

AllMusic’s Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised the album, writing: “King may be letting his feelings spill onto the page here — his originals were written in the wake of a bad 2021 breakup — but his signature stamp isn’t emotionality so much as it’s enthusiasm. He gets a thrill out of cranking up his amp and trying to sing as loud as his guitar, and that’s the energy that truly fuels Young Blood.”

Mark Blake of Mojo notes “His talents as songwriter, singer, and guitarist are skillfully displayed in these dozen roots rockers that any musician in this genre would be proud to have crafted with the energy, enthusiasm, and sheer professionalism he displays.”

Produced again by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, the album features the songs “Hard Working Man” and “Blood On The Tracks,” which both made it to the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart.
