Ever since 2010, when Gary Clark Jr. wowed audiences with
electrifying live sets everywhere from the Crossroads Festival to Hollywood’s
historic Hotel Café, his modus operandi has remained crystal clear: “I listen
to everything … so I want to play everything.” The revelation that is the
Austin-born virtuoso guitarist, vocalist and songwriter finds him just as much
an amalgamation of his myriad influences and inspirations. Anyone who
gravitated towards Clark’s, 2011’s “Bright Lights” EP, heard both the evolution
of rock and roll and a savior of blues. The following year’s full-length debut,
“Blak And Blu,” illuminated Clark’s vast spectrum — “Please Come Home” is
reminiscent of Smokey Robinson, while “Ain’t Messin’ Around” recalls Sly and
the Family Stone. 2014’s double disc” Gary Clark Jr - Live” projected Clark
into 3D by adding palpable dimension and transcendent power — songs soared and
drifted from the epic, psychedelic-blues of “When My Train Comes In” to his
anthemic, hip-hop, rock-crunch calling card, “Bright Lights,” all the way down
to the deep, dark, muddy water of “When The Sun Goes Down.”
After spending five years transforming audiences from the
California desert to the London metropolis, acquiring fans like Barack Obama,
Keith Richards, Alicia Keys and Beyoncé along the way, the 6-foot-4 Texan
needed to spread his musical wings and spectrum hues wider. This exhibition was
Clark’s second full-length worldwide album, “The Story of Sonny Boy Slim,”
which was released in September 2015. What this body of work accomplishes that
its predecessors hadn’t is spotlight Gary Clark Jr., the artist first — as
producer, singer-songwriter — and string master second. His textured voice and
eyes-wide writing hug listeners in with a disregard for time period other than
the future.
