Blak & Blu by Gary Clark Jr.

As it stands, Blak & Blu certainly isn’t legendary. But it’s a pretty good start.

Clark’s refusal to be pigeonholed as merely a great axman results in a diverse, sometimes confounding record that exhibits a still-evolving oeuvre while still showcasing the chops that got him to this point in his career.

Like all good blues, he makes you feel his pain, but there could be a vast ocean of rage and heartache where there’s only a steady stream.
