Sitting here listening to this album has prompted me to write one of my rare reviews. At first I was disappointed, since I am a long-time fan of Gary Clark, who is a great singer, and he barely opens his mouth on this record. However, his talent as a songwriter shines through in every track, despite this being in a rather different style from what you might be expecting. I would urge any of you familiar with the man's work to do yourself a favour and give this a few listens. Gary Clark, quite simply, can do the business and can clearly turn his hand to many different styles of music. Check out the bona fide classic "King L" album, too.
