Oh Gary, why are you so blue? A truly talented artist. So powerful, when he plays you can feel him feeling the music. And that voice, he could have been an R&B legend! Can you imagine him being born 35 years earlier? He'd be a staple on classic rock stations world wide. Sadly, though, it is a bygone era, and someone this talented will go unchecked by most folks in this generation. It's depressing really. But maybe that's why he's so blue...

Not only do I love LISTENING to this man play, I love WATCHING him play.

Gary Clark Jr. is the real deal! Since I first heard him I have sought out everything he has recorded! He remains true to his gift! Most important is to remain true to who you are amidst all the BS hype! Mr. Clark: Play on Brother! Play on!!

wwwwoooooowwwwww,This man doe not need his voice, He can make the guitar do it for him, awesome,

the body is a wonderland guy in my head is also extremely good.. but he has his staying power.. gary should shine like the keys and more !

This song makes my feet sweaty. ...its a good thing.

Gary Clark Jr. is the proof that you don't need to be as fast as Vai or Satriani to be an awesome guitarist, it takes a lot of HEART (and not speed) to play something like this guy.

I hear, buddy guy, Pink Floyd, and JImmy Hendrix, soul meats blues, meats jazz, meats, classic rock. This guy is just Awesome!! Spreading the word to my friends.

If he's ready, so am I.

A 68 year old Blues Fan says Gary's got it. Play on brother...

All is hear is Gary Clark Jr here

I recently learned about this band for the first time, and I'm more impressed with each new video that I watch - great stuff! As a Casino owner, it's nice to see that someone understands that you actually can control their feedback while still using overdrives and lots of gain.

Perfect in every way. Amazing

awesome. not even my type of music and i love it.

image you took a weed whacker to Hendrix' frenetic leaps and dives to find the essential purity of the songs...lyrics plus music plus passion equals something terrific and true.....that's Gary...wonderful wonderful wonderful

I cannot wait for Gary Clark Jr to put this electric guitar version of the song to iTunes so I can buy it... absolutely fantastic

This boy been down dem crossroads. Somewhere Robert Johnson is smiling,Thank GOD Mr. Clark is past 27! That guitar is an extension of himself.

I've seen him once (soon to be twice at Jazz Fest in NOLA); best performance I've seen in a LONG LONG time.. Dude is amazing

such a boss

This is so good... Can this guy be recognized worldwide now?

i like how gary clark jr gets a feel with the guitar and kinda makes his own tricks and is unique while still being influenced by great blues guitarists

Holy SHIT what did I just witness??? You're going places, Mr.Clark...That was really mind-blowing.

Now this is some real fucking music! Every live version of this song sounds different and is great in it's own way. I can't wait for Gary to release some more stuff

all i know is that i saw him live in london hyde park saturday supporting the stones and he was simply awesome.

He's beyond Hendrix. but in the same league as a superstar, or will be soon. He's reinventing the blues, and just in time.

Formidabile assolo di chitarra. Puro sentimento. Speriamo che Gary Clark continui a regalarci questa bellezza.

mamma mia era dai tempi di srv che non mi esaltavo così per un assolo di chitarra

No problem . Thank You .

Heard it on 'Chef' & Wow u're gifted Gary, don't stop .

I just love this guy...Coming out of Austin his influences are farl and wide...Just throwback rock n soul in his sound in a very good way...

Hopefully Gary will do his thing. His album is due in a couple of weeks and I'll be supporting it too. I feel that he his the talent to do it . I'd like to hear more of his blues stuff as well . He's been bring it lately . I hope he keeps it up .

Aww man, now i gotta go see this guy live

So very very beautiful. E A B and then a whole lot more. And what a voice.....thank you for posting

Killer timing, and fresh feel......... POCKET

So good. He will be huge.

Killer song! This is real music...

This is rad and Gary can jam on the guitar like a boss

Thank you for bringing the Rock back into Roll

I'm really happy hearing music like this

Beast!!

Rock On Gary......Keep up the good vibes. Much respect to you..

Back to future!

Magic spread with awsome sauce.

love the style and the music. bringing jammin back.

agreed...he has an excellent timing.

you are the reason

Well, I saw Hendrix in 1966 at The Whiskey A Go Go and this was similar to when I saw Gary 2 weeks ago at The Roxy. Small room. I waited in line 3 1/2 hours, and I was still 2nd and standing right at the stage 5 ft from him for 2 hours, so I consider it worth it even at 64.. Anyway his live show is so much more dynamic that any videos I've seen. I compare him to Hendrix in that he's taking the blues into a completely new direction. I was playing Bright Lights & Numb at a blues show tonight

BlackMusicGerne love u for bro peace

Man oh Man, I Love The Black Keys Too

I saw Jimmy Falon rocking a Casino on a commercial recently.

This is great!

もう最高にかっこいいです

this guy is absolutely infuckingcredible

Sweet

super solo!

Am I the only one that tears up during the solo at the end?

Love this guy. I hear a bit of Robin Trower.

Agreed.

:-) I've been following his progress.......fist saw him w/ /clapton & Doyle @2010 Crossroads Festy! Warner Brothers should make a Hendrix movie and Let Gary Clark play the role! It would be brilliant! I have a triad going, GaryClark, DoyleBramhall ll, Jonny Lang:) How lovely it would be for Eric to play with this three~a big jam!

RIP James

You won't be sorry. I saw him Sat nit. Unfuckingbelievable.

Awesome! Nice guitars!!! :)

this cat souds like Jimmy love it

But by saying He's beyond Hendrix is comparing him, am I not wrong? I love both of them and have been listening to them for a long enough time to see and hear their influences

WOW Amazing,,i just discover this guy today with Blak and blu!!So great to hear his stuff,,yeah by the way:Hendrix style

cool.

Simplesmente genial !!

agreed

Freakin awesome! :D

good music is good music, it needs to be left at that.

Mensch is correct in the assumption that the Blues is a common style of music, the root of most American music today. It's more about the style of the player. Hendrix, Stevie Ray both preform the blues to appeal the younger generations which allowed younger players to follow. Regardless, they still follow the licks and lessons learned from the like of Hubert Sumlin, Eddie Taylor and the 3 Kings !

that 'hey jude' vibe

this song is like a RL.Burnside-going down south

i saw gary clark jr live (wearing his shirt right now) and the other guitarist literally barely played during the whole show. he mostly just tuned through the middle of songs and didn't contribute to the songs at all. everyone else in the band was on another level though. they're such a good live band. (other than the other guitarist)

we are all good. he's 28

Hell yea...waiting for Dewar to start singing =)

Gary was doing this before the Black Keys were even a band.

oh, thanks man. I thought it was Dan Auerbach with a good sun tan.

Bravo! A little polish & this star is going to shine brightly Organ or synth would add some air....

Im in the only one who hears a little hendrix in this band?

fucking great sound!!!

He's no Hendrix copy. He's totally different, just like Jimi was. Should never be compared to Hendrix as they are completely different when it comes down to the notes being played. Clark is taking off in a new direction with a new style.

I FELT LIKE I JUST WENT TO CHURCH! LAWD!

I hear muddy waters / hendrix / mars volta

My ancestors have come back

I think that he is there to create some atmosphere. A guy who plays like Clark Jr. wont have a 2nd guitarrist if he don't really think he needs one for his sound. :-)

Fucking dope, man.

and you're very clever for pointing that out.

Nope. Gary Clark Jr. It says right there in the title of the video.

SOme David Gilmour and Buddy Guy as well

Hello I'm Hello I'm still mfn waiting until my train to pull in I want to leave this town but I ain't got no where to go but I'm still waiting on my train to come in and if you you see me say hello and that boy said was on his train to pull in and tell your relatives 😢

Dirty, nice

he's 28 so all is good

@ Angad Singh Isn't that Johnny Radelat on drums?

He's far passed it. Don't worry!

is it possible that this video has this few views?

I hear zepp, hendrix, floyd, and voice sounds like buddy miles.

I think he sounds more like The Black Keys than Hendrix, but I do see what you're saying.

jack johnson on drums :P

If Gary Clark Jr was fat people would be saying he reminded them of BB King instead of Hendrix. People are so simple.
