gary clark jr rocks the BBC

Just excellent to see Gary Clark Jr and his downright wicked band in the UK this week. Appearing on BBC television (Jools Holland - Later) it was the first time many music fans had even heard of the man and it had a real impact for many judging by comments left on Gary's Official video of his latest single 'Numb', which he performed on the show.
Like many great players he wasn't content with performing a carbon copy of the recorded version and gave us a new reading of the thunderous track 'Numb' along with his last crunching single 'Bright Lights'.
Cries of "the new Hendrix" have circulated the comments since but they can be forgiven at a time in the UK where a new breed of guitar hero is virtually extinct.
Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys also on the show and being interviewed shortly after Clark's earthquake rendering of 'Numb', looked and sounded slightly shell shocked from a close hearing of the Texas gunslinger. There's no shame in that though.
Here is the ground shaking sound of Gary Clark Jr's band on the show. Turn it up.
