This album is special in so many ways, one being that the cover is a photograph taken at ACL Festival 2012 - Ann and I were near the stage for the greatest show we have seen at ACL, ever. Gary Clark Jr. began playing guitar at the age of twelve. Born and raised in Austin, Clark played small gigs throughout his teens, until he met promoter Clifford Antone, proprietor of the Austin music club Antones. Antones was the launch pad from which Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan redefined blues at the time.[8] Soon after meeting Clifford, Clark began to play with an array of musical icons, including Jimmie Vaughan. Vaughan and others in the Austin music community helped Clark along his musical path, facilitating his ascent in the Texas rock & roll scene.[9] Clarks music demonstrates how the blues have shaped virtually every medium of music over the past century, from hip-hop to country.
