[NEW EP] Gary Clark Jr. - The Bright Lights EP

Hearing the opening guitar riff one immediately thinks this must be a new Black Keys track, but don’t be fooled. When the vocals hit and you know it’s some new dirty blues Jr. Kimbrough inspired rock more reminiscent of North Mississippi Allstars then anything else. 

The Artist responsible for this incredible sound is Austin born and raised, Gary Clark Jr. By his list of accomplishments; Austin’s mayor, Kirk Watson, declaring May 3rd to be “Gary Clark Jr. Day.” when he was just 17, winning the Austin Music Award for Best Blues and Electric Guitarist on three separate occasions and being picked by Eric Clapton as the only young newcomer to perform at the Crossroads Guitar Festival makes him a good bet for the next hugely successful performer to come out of Austin, TX. After listening to “Bright Lights’ and “Don’t Owe You A Thang” I’m sure you’ll agree.
