- At 35 Gary Clark Jr. is still clearly uncomfortable being heralded as one of the best guitarists in a generation. He's played the White House, and toured with the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. This year his blues/rock album, "This Land," is up for four Grammy Awards. Kristine Johnson talks with the musician who describes himself as a "simple dude from Austin, Texas who picked up a guitar."

The fact that he has the mindset “im not special...” is what makes him special
Gary is on a different level.
I know this is old. But I love this comment
@Barrett Peterschick “i have been watching shitzone for since November” you’re for sure not an scammer from India.
I'm saying a little prayer that this land wins the Grammy
Your prayers your answer.
Gary Clark Jr came into my musical life about a decade ago. He shot right to the top of my favorite musicians list. I turned so many people on to Gary's music. When I saw that Sunday Morning was featuring Gary, my excitement felt off the charts. I watched and teared up, because of Gary's immense talent, because of the reciprocated love of his gorgeous parents, that right there defines family love. Just look at and listen to those two wonderful parents. Gary, you're a blessed man right there. Many do not grow up as you did with loving parents. As a child nothing matters more than the parents you were born to. Teared up because of the racism Gary and others have unfairly lived with their entire lives, and because of the beautiful family he now has. How pretty is your wife! Cutest children ever! Really.😊 And, again, because your music from first listen hit me to the core as no other. There isn't a song you have out that I don't like and some I LOVE BEYOND [You Saved Me, Come Together, Pearl Cadillac, This Land, all of them really😁 NUMB-people at work could hear Barb coming into the lot 5 mins before I arrived there. THE LOUDER THE BETTER!!!] There isn't enough I can express here to let Gary Clark Jr know what his music has done for me and means to me. I'm so happy Gary has an amazing family, amazing talent and an amazing career and a piece of paradise. Like Gary, I'm a country girl. I love the mountains, the horses in the pasture, the wildlife, the quiet. Lastly, I've seen Gary and his wickedly good band in concert multiple times. Best Birthday present EVER was seeing Gary and his band perform again on Sept. 8 on The Blackfoot River in Montana. I live in the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana and the closest venue is 180 miles round trip. I've driven 1500 miles round trip to see Gary perform in Seattle. That's your musical draw. What a humble, sweet man you appear to be. I'm 62+ now, so when I think of Gary Clark Jr, I feel like a proud parent. I best stop here. I could go on all day. Much love and respect to you Gary Clark Jr and to your families. As far as I'm concerned, you're the reigning king of the lead guitar. I've seen Page, Clapton, Hendrix in Seattle before he ever lit his guitar on fire...all the greatest guitarists. You're the best Gary! Thank You So Much for your music!🎸💖 I hope you win 4 Grammy Awards. Rival Sons is my 2nd favorite band, so I hope they win a Grammy too.📀
Same here, so many people didnt know who he was!
One of the greatest talents in modern music. Love to see what he does next...
His music has been like my soulful company, on the road. I remember hearing Bright Lights, when I was in New York, almost a decade ago. I looked him up, and found out he's a Black Texan, like me, only a year older. Huge fan of every album and song since. Good vibes... Thanks for shining, Gary Clarke Jr. True 🌟. This Land is awesome, because you're one of the greatest.
Big Fan glad others are finally hearing about Gary 🙏😇.
He represents Texas well. Keep making that awsome music.
We live in the era of kanye and trump. YOUR HUMILITY is what makes you special, Gary Clark Jr.
Don't mean any harm but that type of spirit has been in the world wayyyyyyyyy before they came along.
Chris Bullock well, yes of course it has! I was just drawing a comparison to Clark’s contemporaries in the entertainment biz. (yes Trump is an entertainer).
Simply Amazing!..
Yeah... THAT'S A TEXAS MAN!!! I'm Proud of him!!! Texan through and through!!! He looks a lot like Lenny White ( a jazz drummer)... and me too!!!:)...
Larry Southern Texas big on that sellout life I guess
THIS MAN is TALENTED!!!!
I'm digging the pearl Cadillac in the interview
Love Gary ♥️ Best concert I’ve ever been to. He plays from his soul... so you feel it in your soul 💞 It’s so magical ✨
I saw him open for Kings of Leon at MSG in 2014. He was terrific 🙌🏻
We nodded heads at each other and at that time I Never knew who he was But I had the chance to fix some lighting fixtures in his home with the company I work for , really cool guy.
First time hearing about the Brother...keep on Rockin ...
Me too....And I said WOW, why haven't I heard about this guy?
Me too!
Love Gary he's so talented and so humble about it! Keep rockin the tunes!
I love his music
Just keep being you, kid. "Keep Calm and Blues On"
Right on,,😄
I have seen him more than any other artist live and I am a metal head. Exceptional musician.
This is my song🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😍😍😍😍This Land💕💕💕💞💕💕💕💕
Been watching Gary since he was a kid about 15 or 16 years old at the Victory Grill in Austin. Playing old school blues. It's in his genes. His uncle is a well know musician here . W.C.Clark. Love them both.
Everytime I hear Gary sing or play guitar it gives me chills. Really seems to be down to earth guy
I must be living under a rock, this guy is the real deal and I just literally learned about him!
I'd be proud to call Gary Clark Jr. neighbor. This world would be a lot better with more love like his attitude. ROCK ON GARY!!! ROCK ON!!!
I first heard Gary Clark jr. 20 years ago when he played Joe's Generic Blues Bar on 6th in Austin. Loved him ever since!
I've had the pleasure of seeing Gary 3 times, and he is without a doubt one of the most gifted guitar players to ever walk the face of the Earth. He makes it look effortless, is super humble, and grateful for everything that comes his way. Personally, I put him up there with that other blues legend from Austin.......Stevie.
Please Gary come back to Surly again this Summer!
👍Bless him.💞
Magnificent artist.
Wow that was powerful
Gary Clark I love your music and admire you Grace and humble spirit. Wow! Beyond JH.
beautiful.
loved this guy before.
now it's to the moon.
love you Gary
I love you Gary!
I do too Gary, love you!🎸
WoW!!!
Kudos to his parents who were truly supportive of his dreams growing up.
God bless this talented young man. so sad you had to battle bias, but you have overcome and will prevail..(Keep God in your heart)..dh
He's such a great musician🎸
Yeah GC is one of my favorite guitar slingers…
I love his groove style songs…
I listen to him before I jam..
I think he is a very impressive artist with a grounded , humble and kind personality. He was obviously raised right by thoughtful parents ....a very loving family of faith. I hope he gets a Grammy !! 👍 👍
This guy is an incredible talent!!
Mr Gary Clark Jr.. You are
TRULY A GIFT TO US ALL!!! 🙏
Your special Gary 🙌🙏❤
Love him ❤
So humble!!!
I rock with Gary heavily!!!
I like this guy if only for his hats. He simply has great hats. 〰️👌🏼
He is amazing!!! Legend...................
Awesome
I love this guy
He is a diamond in the rough!
Late to the party here, ok very late but I'll be looking into this guy for sure
Seems really humble and appreciative of where he’s at.
Enjoy his music but love and respect the man.
love his music and how his guitar solos sounds. true sound bender. its like he is taking something out of that guitar. just amazing. he is so underrated because he is black
God bless we love ya
Saw him in Berlin at Astra Kulturhaus and it was awesome. With a capacity of 1500 people it felt like a private show. Next time I bet he quadruple the venue size.
He living that life man!
Brasileiro seu fã Gary
Mercy Peters told me about this dude 10 years ago
How I love this musician!! My new Jimi Hendrix!!
I love 💕 💕💕💕💕💕💕💞😍😍😍this Black man✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾💞💞💞💞💞just like jimmy Hendrix💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
word of simple advice, stay away from all helicopters bro.
How can this man be so humble? I guess thats why he is who he is....
What better way to flex on the neighbors than to make a whole music video lmao badass
Gary is amazing for sure, but go see him live, he'll leave you spellbound.
He sure does. Like no other.🎸
Carry on
what's the song at the beginning of the video?
"when my train pulls in"
What is it about this region that generates some of the greatest blues guitarists (Stevie)?
"That's someone else with the problem" very true
Like Prince, his genius talent looks too easy. It’s complex, he’s complex. So, so brilliant. Seriously how sweet are his parents?
What a nice family.
Started with a neighbor girl , ends up on stage with eric clapton!!!!!
6:28,That's Texas, Gary.
He keep it up he gonna be on jimmy hendrix heels- the message of This Land- is a reality, feel that part
funny but Clapton used to say the same thing about SRV. His "flow". Clark seems to a good soul. However, he is not breaking much ground in the blues or rock world. He's around and playing his music. But, once you hear Stevie, then you have the bar.
🎸🎼🎶🎤🎩👍🏿💪🏾👊🏾✌🏿🙏
The new Hendrix
Jimmie Vaughn’s protege
Money... wte woman "I'm successful"
Right. Leave out the children.
I see you cousin!!!!
Awesomeness!!! THIS IS MY LAND!!! THIS IS MY GUITAR!!! Hendrix reincarnated ? if you believe . . . but NAaaaaaahhh!!! hahaha!!! I HOPE HE WINS ALL THE GRAMMYS HE IS NOMINATED FOR !!!
It's not impressive he is amazing 🤘
Black man 😍😍😍😍😍😍🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I guess I shouldn't be surprised Gary Clark Jr. actually owns a Model A, but I am a little.
1:45
Black 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞✊🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😍
What is Clark Sr's son willing to admit to embellishing in our one and only conversation?
ua-cam.com/video/YsRMoWYGLNA/v-deo.html
Is he today's Hendrix?
Musically yes . And honestly in my pops words "He's a Hendrix in a world if Kardashians"
This guy has honestly surpassed Hendricks, Clapton, and everyone comparable. When you hear that first lick, you know that it's Gary. Hands down the best guitar player ever.
It’s crazy that kids won’t know what “checked out the books” means.
Stated the same...not since Jimi.
Parents still together!!!!!!!!!!!
Dog feces in the mailbox?! How do people even get out of bed when they are that miserable? I guess the motivation to share their misery is powerful.
Gary, current baddest man on the planet, but watchout the kingfish is coming. Shakey Graves another guy from Austin is the coolest.
@SuperPunch76 I meant the baddest referring to his stage presence and overall charisma, not just playing ability.
Nothing but God 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Creeper neighbors who love the Tams but not you.
Can you tell me what that means ...tams
Not EVEN close to JIMI .. this land is the banks lmfao
It really shows when the person doing the interview is completely clueless about their subject matter. Stick with old people stories please ...
Well, it is Sunday Morning....?
My new neighbor, Gary "reverse race card victim" Clark, Jr. who sneered at my request to retrieve my donkey from his goat field with an open gate after pacing my front door complaining.
"Creative license" doesn't extend to slander.
Gary is Indian Hill Neighborhood's HOA new celebrity neighbor. We welcome him, and his wife's bodyguard to the 'hood. His lyrics are a bit embellished, but we still love him on a 1 - 10 scale. We tried to deliver a "welcome to the 'hood" Central Market blueberry pies, but we couldn't get through his fortified gate to deliver them after our discussion over my elderly donkey in his goat field at my front door, not his.
Gary's a professional gaslighter. I should at least get credit for being his "inspiration" to claim reverse race-card victimization when he lowered his head and said "I only live here" when I naively asked whether he owned the goat field he refused to allow me to retrieve grandma donkey with a bucket of corn I had in my hand.
"Nah" from Clark over my simple request to enter his "50 acres" deserved the response in kind I'm sorry his child he had with him heard me say. Don't bring your kid to an argument to my front door over my arthritic donkey wandering through your open fence.
You, and "Mr. Williams" / Tim, and Susan, Hukill, are too much to handle. Law enforcement refuses to regulate my complaints. Hukill poisoned 3 of 4 of my previous alpacas, and calls law enforcement on "incidents" he creates. I told you that, and you wrote a song about my own miseries.
Laugh all the way to after-life, bro. Both of you will answer for your dishonesty. I don't deserve the ridicule, or retaliation, for speaking the truth.
"law enforcement refuses to regulate my complaints" . Yeah, I bet you are the guy he's talking about. Let us know when you've deiced to meditate on the song instead of telling us about your rights to his property, and the impropriety of him not respecting you like he should.
WOW.
Scott Ogle You spike your truth. He speaks his truth. Tone is everything to do with delivery.
How is it reality when he lays with a white woman , he choose the enemy
