My answer to one of my prayers
Gary Clark Jr is the answer of this prayer. The guy is magnificent, energetic, pragmatic and one hell of a musician. If you wonder how Blues, Rock, Hip Hop, Soul, Funk and a little bit of Country can co-exist, your prayers has been answer too. And it is so nicely and perfectly done. I kept…
