Gary Clark Jr. Talks blues influences, new album
Austin blues prodigy Gary Clark Jr. took time off from cutting his new disc to play a smoking late Saturday afternoon set at Bonnaroo. Before going on, the guitarist sat backstage with�Rolling Stone�to discuss how he got into the blues. "I actually went backwards and started by listening to Jimi Hendrix," he said. "Then I figured out where his style came from and who listened to." He also shared with us details of his upcoming album, which is being produced by Rob Cavallo. "Just before I got here I was recording some tracks out there in Los Angeles," he said. "Some blues stuff, some R&B stuff ... Getting heavy into it. [Cavallo's] done all sorts of crazy stuff, Green Dave and [Dave] Matthews. He knows a little about music."
