I've caught bits of Gary Clark Jr here and there. Most recently on the very excellent 'Sonic Highways' series that the Foo Fighters did, and he sounds terrific. Just wondered if anyone familiar with Mr C. could suggest a good place to start? He seems to have a good handful of albums both studio and live available.

Cheers.

Saw him at Brixton Academy... last year, I think? Came straight out to this.

Give Blak and Blu a listen.

Yeah, it's a cracker. There's also a cover of Hendrix's Third Stone from the Sun on that album. Should be a good starting point.
