Marcus King Fans Are Begging For His Wife, Briley, To Release Music After Hearing Her Sing “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia”

Give the fans what they want to hear.

If you’re new here, hi! My name is Mary Claire, and I am a shameless fangirl of Marcus King and his wife, Briley King. I am a true sucker for a country music power couple, and Marcus and Briley fall right behind Chris and Morgane Stapleton on my list of favorite power couples.

With Marcus King, as many know, being an incredibly talented guitarist and singer blending elements of Southern rock, blues, and more to create hypnotizing sounds on the ears. Briley, his better half, is a fashionista through and through. Let’s not forget the #RealMarcusQueens movement she started on her first tour with her hubby, where her fans highlighted what they were wearing to Marcus’ shows. Briley is also the founder of Little Bird Trucking, a trucker hat (& more) company that celebrities like Post Malone, Lainey Wilson, and more have been seen wearing.

Given that the musical space is where Marcus shines, Briley lets him have that spotlight, but she, too, is quite the songbird. In fact, Briley has supported Marcus in the studio, providing backup vocals for songs like “Delilah.” And if you’re a true fan of Marcus King, then you’ve probably seen the magic these two create on stage together. Briley joins Marcus on stage quite a bit these days, and it is incredible. From covering “Joy Of My Life” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” to providing backup vocals on Marcus’ hit “Goodbye Carolina,” and, of course, performing “Delilah,” Briley has proved her vocals are a force to be reckoned with.

While I’ve been bucking for Briley King to venture into music since first hearing her sing, now the Marcus King fans have gotten on board after hearing her cover of “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia.” The song, initially recorded by Vicki Lawrence in 1973, was later made mega-famous by Reba McEntire when she released her cover in 1991.

Backstage during the Marcus King Band Family Reunion, Briley had some fun with the Marcus King Band and delivered a stellar unplugged version of the tune, showcasing her natural talent.

“That’s the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That’s the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don’t trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
‘Cause the judge in the town’s got bloodstains on his hands.”

You can see the keys player with a big ole grin on his face after Briley nails the chorus, and many of the viewers had a similar reaction.

“Saaaaang it, queen.”

“Shut up.”

“Came for Marcus, stayed for Briley.”

“I need a full version!”

“I’m obsessed with you.”

“Bruhhhh wtf.”

“Love that song! Girl you can sing!”

“Need an album ASAP.”

“She’s an icon.”

“I need the full version on my YouTube playlist rn.”

“Please record this.”

“I’ve listened to this clip more times than I can count. Release this cover immediately before Instagram flags me for watching this too many times. Pls and thank you.”

A fan posted a TikTok video BEGGING Briley to make some of her own music, and she replied, confessing that she was scared to do so:

“I’m scaredddd”
