Members strayGoat Posted September 27, 2017 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2017 Definitely one of those artists who comes along to remind you that everything has NOT already been done. The guy is very unique in a genre sometimes overbrimming with repetition. I kind of tripped over this particular vid. Glad you liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t_e_l_e Posted September 28, 2017 Members Share Posted September 28, 2017 he's the reason why i listen to the blues again and more often.... i really love the muddy waters, j.l.hooker, robert johnson b.b. king etc but for some longer time i got really sick of the repetive humphumphump 1-4-5 stuff. there was nothing fresh or new coming out, the guys who played the blues were well pros but boring (i have one name in my i head i do not want to tell:)) but then i stumbled accross gary clark jr... wow, thats what i'm talking about now i'm back to hendrix and all my old cds i haven't put into the player for years.. yeah still listen to the new rasiohead stuff i hope gary makes a visit again over the pond, last tiome i missed him...

Well said! I still love even the repetitive, hackneyed Blues stuff, but the artists who really flip my sh*t and keep me interested are the rare few who pop up every now and then with a completely fresh, original take. GCJ definitely is one of those guys. What got me really interested in Blues in the first place was Robert Cray in the 80's. Just a completely new sound/tone/approach in both his playing and vocals. You know instantly when you're hearing him play. Gary Clark Jr. is equally original, different, unmistakable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
