Gary Clark Jr. – Things Are Changing

Contributed by Trevor Meyer

If you’re into blues, rock, and/or soul, you’re going to love Gary Clark Jr. His influences range from Stevie Ray Vaughan, to Snoop, to Cream, etc. Some of his more bluesy material such as “Bright Lights” and “Don’t Owe You A Thang” remind me of blues rock icons, Ten Years After and the Black Keys. Not only can this guy shred your face off, but he can also soothe your soul. The soulful, slow burner “When The Sun Goes Down” is an absolute delight. One of his other, slower songs, “Things Are Changing” is an eloquent, soul ballad – one of the best I’ve heard in years. Gary’s versatile songwriting is undeniable. Mr. Clark Jr. is one of the most promising up and coming artists. He is lighting up the internet music world and there is no telling what great things are to come from this man in the future.
