Clark, Gary Jr. - Gary Clark Jr. Live

NEW VINYL LP ON WEA 2014

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL.

For most rock acts, the live double album is breathing space between studio shots. This rising Texan’s vinyl set is his defining moment, a generous blast of prowess that backs up the future-of-blues-guitar promises made in Gary Clark Jr.’s name since his bust-out performance at Eric Clapton’s 2010 Crossroads festival. Clark’s 2012 major-label splash, Blak and Blu, was vigorously uneven, betraying his impatience to plug the emotional dynamics of electric blues into contemporary R&B. The versions here of that album’s bolder tracks are a more natural affirmation. “Things Are Changin’ ” has a rougher, lusty sway. In “Blak and Blu,” Clark drops the studio take’s hip-hop trappings, letting his voice and soloing show all of the bruises.
