Gary Clark Jr.- BLAK AND BLU- CD- 2012- Warner Bros. Records Inc.- 093624948575- 400 grn
BLAK AND BLU is the major-label debut studio album by American musician Gary Clark Jr., released on October 22, 2012. Gary Clark, Jr. has been hailed by a number of critics as "the New Hendrix," which seems to be the fate of any guitarist who combines blues and rock styles at a considerable volume. Clark isn't a visionary, game-changing artist like Hendrix, but instead he's a canny singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist who has learned from the past and present, fusing them into a style that's distinctive and exciting if not necessarily revolutionary. Warner Bros. is also pitching Blak and Blu as Clark's "groundbreaking debut album," when in fact it's just his major-label debut, with four indie releases preceding it, making the confidence and ambition of this set a bit less remarkable. But if Gary Clark, Jr. isn't likely to change the way we look at rock & roll or rewrite the aesthetic of the electric guitar, he is one of the most interesting talents to come out of the contemporary blues scene in quite some time. On Blak and Blu, most of Clark's tunes are solidly rooted in the blues, but he's also folded in hearty servings of hard rock, funk, retro-soul, and even a dash of hip-hop, and the way he lets the flavors mix is a big part of what makes this album work so well. While the typical modern-day guitar hero goes out of his way to throw his dexterity in your face at every turn, here Clark shows off a tougher and more primal style, and though his chops are certainly good, he keep his solos concise and his attack muscular throughout. And if his songwriting is a bit uneven, he has an inarguable talent with both lyrics and melodies, and he's a good-to-great singer, sounding soulful and honest on every cut.

The album opens with the single, “Ain’t Messin’ Round,” a slickly produced and energetic tune featuring attention grabbing horns. “When My Train Pulls In” follows and is a good representation of how the song is performed live receiving the full band treatment after appearing on The Bright Lights mini album as a solo acoustic piece. “Things Are Changin'” also receives a full arrangement. One thing that stands out on BLAK AND BLU is Clark’s versatility. He truly is a one of kind artist in that respect. Tracks like “Blak And Blu,” “The Life,” and “Please Come Home” show Gary’s soulful side. “The Life” is a track many of today’s younger generation will relate to and should receive ample airplay. “Numb” features a guitiar riff reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix, and Clark also covers “Third Stone From The Sun,” in a near 10 minute jam, which has been a part of his set list on tour. “You Saved Me” is an album highlight featuring fuzzy guitar and a relaxed vibe, perfect for a late night drive. BLAK AND BLU closes with Clark returning to the blues on “Next Door Neighbor Blues,” an old fashioned foot-stomper. BLAK AND BLU continues to build on the strong momentum generated by The Bright Lights mini album. Gary Clark Jr. is one of the world’s most versatile musicians. There are very few artists who can bridge the generational gap like Gary Clark Jr., and BLAK AND BLU is an album that can be enjoyed by anyone.
