Not since Cody Chestnut have we heard something this real. And to be totally honest we have absolutely no clue what we mean by real, but at the same time we totally get what our mind is telling us. Its raw, emotive,soulful on a level that popular music hasnt seen in many years. Too good, too good. Austin, Texas native Gary Clark Jr. fuses the deep blues influence of Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters with classic hip-hop and contemporary soul. This Australian tour edition features of additional live recordings. Weaned on John Lee Hooker, Curtis Mayfield, and Snoop Dogg, Clark fuses his deep rock, R&B and blues influences with a love of classic soul and contemporary hip-hop beats that has already put critics on notice. Rolling Stone's Best Of Rock issue pegged him as "Best Young Gun, " while The Wall Street Journal opined that Clark "may be the city's next big music star" thanks to "his blend of blues, soul and rock, mixing fluid, muscular guitar with a rootsy bark or a falsetto croon." Clark was the only newcomer to be selected by Eric Clapton to perform at the 2010 Crossroads Guitar Festival, where he performed with Doyle Bramhall II and Sheryl Crow.

This is not bad but Gary Clark Jr. is a bit hit and miss with his music. Get him with some good blues or blues rock and he is superb, but some of his music just misses the spot . "Things Are Changin" is a case in point, no doubt some people like the song, as for "When My Train Pulls In" it was okay but not as good as "Bright Lights" or "I Don`t Owe You A Thing". There are a lot of good songs from Gary on different albums but he seems to mix the style up too much rather than putting out a good blues rock album, which he certainly has the material for. He is very talented , it` just a pity the albums do not seem to have that direction. Again many might disagree, but music is always highly subjective. This mini album is a great starting point for anyone wanting to find out what all the fuss is about. Contains some superb guitar on the stretched out jams as well as some superb shorter tracks. Recommended!
