Description
Many consider Gary Clark Jr. to be one of the greatest blues players alive, a live wire guitarist who’s unafraid of letting himself go, be it onstage or on the mic. Now, as he prepares to finally unveil his new LP The Story of Sonny Boy Slim, it appears that 31 year-old is just getting started. Looser, bluesier and even more focused in its deep guitar grooves than 2013’s Blak and Blu, the album was recorded entirely in his hometown of Austin, Texas at Arlyn Studios and self-produced by Clark. What started over a year ago as rough sonic sketches of live drums and bass has become a full-fledged record full of blues funk, blues solos and many a raging solo.
