Blues artist Gary Clark Jr. returns this week, with his 2014 two-disc set, Live. Many of the songs were from
his previous studio albums:
Blak And Blu, The Bright
Lights EP, iTunes Session> The Live album reached #1 on Billboard's Blues Albums chart, for a total of
eleven weeks.
Disc One: "Catfish Blues" leads off the first disc, as it show off some hard rocking blues. It's
Hendrix-inspirated. ("I Hear My Train A-Comin'" "Next Door Neighbor Blues" (from Blak And Blu) is great
swamp blues. "Travis County" (from Blak And Blu) is great boogie woogie blues. It has a Stevie Ray Vaughan
feel to it. "When My Train Pulls In" (from Blak And Blu slows down the pace a bit, and it also has a SRV
feel. The upbeat "Don't owe You A Thang" (from The Bright Lights EP) gets the toes tappin' fast-styled
blues. (As in Ten Years After - "I'm Goin' Home.") The classic slow blues sounds superb on "Three O'Clock
Blues." (B.B. King slow blues comes to mind' or even SRV.) "Thing's Are Changin'" (from Blak And Blu)
is very pleasant, easily winding down the set. The Hendrix-inspired "Numb" ends the first disc.
Disc Two: "Ain't Messin 'Round" (from Blak And Blu) has a upbeat, rocking style. "If Trouble
Was Money" (from iTunes Session) is another great slow-driven rock/blues live track. And speaking of Jimi Hendrix,
his "Third Stone From The Sun" is part of a medley: "If You Love Me Like You Say." This medley was also
from the Blak And Blu album. Another pleasant sounding live track and from Blak And Blu is "Please Come
Home," as Clark Jr.'s vocals is similar to that of Prince. "Blak And Blu" is also a slow-driven relaxing
track, and also has a Prince'ish feel. Yet, it later kicks into the next track, "Bright Lights," having a strong
Rock and Blues feel. Ending the second disc and album is the soulful "When The Sun Goes Down."
Gary Clark Jr.'s Live is definitely a ROCK album, mixed with Blues. Heavy influences of Jimi Hendrix and
Stevie Ray Vaughan. And the Prince track "Please Come Home" is quite impressive. An excellent live concert,
Gary Clark Jr. is one of the many latest Blues artists that gives the Blues genre proud. Enjoy the live sounds of Gary
Clark Jr. Live. It is a great concert to listen to.
