Two bluesmen, one young and the other old, but both with blistering guitars.
IN CHEF (the 2014 original Jon Favreau movie; not the 2017 Indian remake), Texan bluesman Gary Clark Jr. is featured playing at one of his live gigs in Austin. The songs we see him and his band play as Favreau’s food truck in the film passes through Austin are Travis County and a seven-minute When My Train Pulls In, which is about a man who has reluctantly decided to leave town and is waiting for his train. Both songs feature on Gary Clark Jr. Live, which many would agree is a must-have live album for blues fans. Clark is an intense 33-year-old African American who’s been playing the guitar since his pre-teens, and has earned a huge reputation in a remarkably short period of time, receiving several accolades – including a Grammy and a couple of Blues Music Awards. He’s best heard live and Gary Clark Jr. Live is the only album you could do that with. Till this weekend. That’s when Clark’s second live album, Live North America 2016 dropped.
