Product Details

When Gary Clark Jr. arrived in Austin, he was already a local legend before the wider world caught up. Blak and Blu was his major label debut, but it carried none of the polish that phrase usually implies, landing instead as raw and lived-in, a record that made clear Clark belonged in the same conversation as the Texas guitar giants who came before him.

In addition to 12 of Clark's original compositions, Blak and Blu also features a 13th song - a blistering cover of Little Johnny Taylor's (popularized by Albert Collins), "If You Love Me Like You Say / Third Stone From The Sun" (Jimi Hendrix) is actually a complete reworking of the song utilizing the Hendrix riff reinterpreted by Clark. The result is an extraordinary hybrid of the two ideas that breathes new fire to an old favorite.
