Reviews
- Gary Clark Jr. destroys it on this record. Absolutely one of the heaviest alt blues artists out there, but IMO Blak and Blu has some of the best Clark compositions of his entire catalog. This record is ELECTRIC and has my vote as one of the best records released in 2012. Be warned: the song Numb has some of the dirtiest distortion effects I've ever heard on a record, it might just FU your speakers at high volume!
- Not sure about country of origin, my version with this catalog # has "Made in Germany" sticker on back.
