Gary Clark Jr. – The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim (CD)

Recorded largely at Clark's home studio in Austin, *The Story of Sonny Boy Slim* finds him stretching beyond the blues-rock fireworks that made *Blak and Blu* a breakthrough, leaning into soul, funk, and R&B while never losing the raw guitar voltage that had Austin devotees calling him the next Stevie Ray Vaughan before he'd even signed a major deal. The tension between those poles is where Clark lives best.
