JPEG RAW
New - LP - 093624873105
Sealed 2024 LE 180gm 2LP gatefold original. Custom hype sticker on shrink. The premier pressing of this outstanding new release! "The more albums Gary Clark, Jr. makes, the harder it is to classify him, and that's one of the best things about his body of work. While Clark still gets filed under "blues" by most folks, anyone who heard 2012's Blak and Blu and 2019's This Land knows his music encompasses an impressive range of sounds and styles, and for a guy who was supposed to be a guitar hero, his six-string work is only one of the many ingredients he layers into his dense, innovative arrangements. This Land was a brilliant work of musical wanderlust and articulate rage as he explored the abuses of the Trump era through the lens of Black American music, and if 2024's JPEG RAW isn't quite as sharp thematically (though it's close), musically it's another triumph that makes room for blues, hard rock, funk, jazz, R&B, and hip-hop flavors that can by turns fill up the dancefloor, set the mood for quiet storm, inspire listeners to man the barricades, and kick out the jams. George Clinton guests on the track "Funk Witch U," a more than fitting meeting of minds given how Clark's take on Black rock recalls the glory days of Funkadelic, and Stevie Wonder lends vocals to "What About the Children," which wouldn't be at all out of place on one of Wonder's '70s masterpieces as well as reminding us "Living in the City" is still far more relevant than it should be in 2024. Keyon Harrold spins some sweet, muted trumpet lines over "Alone Together," a romantic number with a tough undertow, and Clark trades verses with Valerie June on "Don't Start," a raw slice of rockin' blues that matches the wiry energy of R.L. Burnside's electric juke joint sessions. Gary Clark, Jr.'s catalog shows he has the talent, intelligence, and vision to make a grand-scale musical statement out of any style he chooses, and JPEG RAW only reinforces that notion; he's been creating some of the boldest and most interesting guitar-based music of his time, and this is as exciting and rewarding as anyone could hope."

New Import - 9362-49350-7
Sealed 2021 2LP Repress, Housed In A Gatefold Cover. "Texas Guitar Ace Gary Clark, Jr., Who At His Best Sounds Like Nothing So Much As The Past And The Future Of The Blues, Has Been Compared To Guitar Icons Like Jimi Hendrix And Stevie Ray Vaughan. His Playing Is A Powerful And Inspired Mix Of Blues Roots With Some Contemporary Soul And Hip-hop Touches, But It Remains The Blues Always, And The Blues Is Perhaps Even More Central To His Sound Than It Was For Either Hendrix Or Vaughan. Clark's Major-label Debut, 2012's Blak And Blu, Stretched The Blues Thing A Bit Thin In Places, And It Only Partially Resembled His Live Sets, Which Were Wild, Gritty, And Often Beautifully Elegant Surveys Of Electric Blues, With Clark's Solid Originals Settling Nicely With Vintage Covers, All With No Frills And Gimmick-free. Clark, For All The Press About It, Has Never Really Been About Being Clever And Innovative With The Blues, But Prefers Instead To Stand For Its Strong Tradition, And Just Bring What He Brings To The Table Without A Whole Lot Of Fuss. That's What His Live Sets Are About, And This Double-disc Live Album, Recorded During A 18-month-long Tour In 2013 And 2014, Reveals A Clearer And More In-focus Look At What Clark Offers Than Blak And Blu Does. Mixing Select Blues Covers With Standout Clark Originals From Blak And Blu, Live Is A Wonderful Introduction To A Fine Young Guitar Player, Songwriter, And Singer. Opening With A Thunderous Version Of Robert Petway's "Catfish Blues," This Set Never Falters Through Clark Originals Like The Chuck Berry-ish Romp "Travis County," The Timeless-sounding "When My Train Pulls In," And The Monster Jimmy Reed Homage "Bright Lights," And Seamlessly Blends In Covers Of Lowell Fulson's "Three O'clock Blues" And Albert Collins' "If Trouble Was Money" And "If You Love Me Like You Say," The Latter Of Which Is Paired With Jimi Hendrix's "Third Stone From The Sun" In A Striking Ten-plus-minute Medley. Clark Closes Things Out With A Gentle, Sparse, And Striking Version Of Leroy Carr's "When The Sun Goes Down." This Is An Impressive Live Set, With Crisp Playing And Sharp Sound, And, Best Of All, It Lets Clark Play The Blues And Shine With Energy, Passion, And A Good Deal Of Grace While Staying Free Of The Bells And Whistles The Studio Affords. In Clark's Case, He Doesn't Need Bells And Whistles. He Plays The Guitar, Really Good Guitar, And If This Is Indeed The Past And Future Of The Blues Rolled Into One, Then The Blues Appears To Be In Really Good Hands." AMG Review By Steve Leggett.

The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim
New - LP - 550131-1
Sealed Repress Of The 2LP 2015 (Three Sided: Side Four Is Etched) Gatefold Original. “On His Major-label Debut, 2012's Blak And Blu, Clark Demonstrated He Isn't Interested In Following The Path Of Blues Traditionalists, And While There's Plenty Of Great Guitar Work On 2015's The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim, This Is By No Means A Conventional Blues Album. Rather, The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim Is A Thoughtful And Passionate Amalgam Of African-American Music Past And Present, And The Blues Is One Of Many Crucial Ingredients In The Formula Along With R&b, Soul, Rock & Roll, Funk, Gospel, And Hip-hop (The Cyclical Drum And Guitar Patterns That Dominate Many Tracks Demonstrate In Themselves That The Aural Dividing Line Between Blues And Hip-hop Isn't As Wide As Some Like To Imagine). Clark's Guitar Work Is Outstanding Throughout, But His Style Is More About Expressive Layers Of Sound Than Tasty Licks, And This Isn't A Guitar Album So Much As An Album That Features A Lot Of Guitar Amidst A Rich Variety Of Ingredients, Which May Not Please Folks Waiting For A New Stevie Ray Vaughan. ……blues May Be At The Root Of Nearly Everything On The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim, But It's Not The Sum Total Of Clark's Musical World-view, And If He's Abdicated The Position Of The Future Of The Blues, This Music Declares That Clark Is One Artist Who Will See To It That The Blues Does Indeed Have A Future, Which Is What Makes Him Important And Sonny Boy Slim A Serious Leap Forward From Blak And Blu.” Mark Deming, Amg.

This Land
Box Set - New - Promo GCJR
Sealed, Rare Promotional Copies Of The 2019 LP Which Include A CD & Promo Tour Sheet, The Box Was Sent Out For Grammy Consideration. ""F*%k You, I'm America's Son/This Is Where I Come From." Gary Clark, Jr. Spits Out That Line With All The Venom He Can Muster On The Opening Track Of 2019's This Land, And While He's Specifically Challenging A Racist Neighbor Who Doesn't Believe He Can Afford The Texas Ranch He Calls Home, It Also Sounds Like He's Shouting Down Anyone Who Has Dared To Question His Creative Ambitions Or Tried To Pigeonhole Him As Just Another Bluesman. Since Making His Major-Label Debut With 2012's Blak And Blu, Clark Has Steadily Been Widening His Boundaries As A Musician, And This Land Is His Toughest And Most Ambitious Work To Date, A Bold And Often Ferocious Set Of Songs That Serves As A Polyglot Of African-American Musical Idioms And Sharply Articulate Thoughts About American Life In The Midst Of The Trump Era. As On His Previous Albums, Clark Frequently Demonstrates He's A Gifted And Forceful Guitarist, But On This Land, The Songs Are Ultimately More Important Than The Solos, And The Rich, Densely Packed Production, The Melodic Diversity Of Material, And The Undiluted Passion Of The Lyrics (And The Way Clark Delivers Them) Is What Truly Makes This Album Succeed. From The Raw, Funky Rock Of The Title Cut, The Chuck Berry On Speed Punkability Of "Gotta Get Into Something," The Proto-Reggae Menace Of "Feeling Like A Million," The Hard Rock Thunder Of "What About Us," The Slinky But Robust R&B Mood Of "Don't Wait Til Tomorrow," And The Prince-Meets-Hendrix Groove Of "Feed The Babies," This Land Is Stylistically Fearless As Clark Explores Nearly Every Musical Option That Crosses His Mind, And Remarkably Enough, All Of It Works, Fitting Together Like Distinct, Individual Pieces That Make A Larger And Unified Whole. While Several Of The Tracks On This Land Were Built Around Samples And Clark Reveals A Deep Knowledge Of The History Of African-American Music, His Vision Is Strong Enough That This Land Sounds Fresh And Compelling At Every Turn. Clark And Co-producer Jacob Sciba Have Given It A Potent Sound That Makes These Songs Sound As Muscular And Uncompromising As Required. And While Clark Plays Most Of The Instruments Himself On These Sessions, Bassist Mike Elizondo And Drummer Brannen Temple Generate Grooves That Are As Big And As Expressive As Clark's Guitar. This Land Is Not An Album Many Were Expecting Gary Clark, Jr. To Make When He Burst Into Nationwide Recognition At The Start Of The 2010s, And That's One Of Its Greatest Strengths -- It Frequently Upends Expectations While Confirming Clark's Broad Talent And Imagination, And If This Doesn't Convince You He's A Major Artist, Nothing Will." AMG - Mark Deming.
