Have you guys had the chance to take a look at Gary Clark Jr. new material?
Real mix of styles ranging from “Ramones” influenced rock to some very authentic soul and of course – BLUES!
In that mix is the first released single and video – This Land…a very hard-core protest song and video where Gary uses his platform to share statements on black America at this point in time where progress has been made, but has seemingly stalled of late regarding racial equality.
I’m not usually a big fan of music serving messages, but where sufficient attention has been paid to the MUSIC and there is a strong message as part of that music then I’m all for it…and in this case I think Gary has achieved this completely.
Leave me your thoughts…
