Witness Gary Clark Jr. perform guitar gymnastics with his Epiphone Casino that would make Jimi proud.


With Tommy Sims on bass, Clark wows the big players with “Bright Lights” at Crossroads 2010.


The effects are on full throttle on this fuzz-filled track that includes a medley from Hendrix’s “Third Stone from the Sun.”

on 11/12/2012 		Great to learn more about GC Jr. I loved the the grittier bluesy stuff on the EP, especially "Don't Owe You a Thang". Puzzling to not find that one on the full length album, which I wish had more tracks like that. This guy is the real deal, glad to see this release doing so well.
