Gary Clark Jr. Professes His Love For The Guitar

With just one ear to any of Gary Clark Jr.'s albums, it's immediately apparent just how deep his love of the guitar runs. Like any six-string specialist, GCJ's bond with his axe(s) is as intimate as they get, much like that of any lover. A recent interview with Wax Poetics found the Texan bluesman professing his love for the instrument he wields so masterfully in NYC's famed, Rivington Guitars. There, tempted by the glossy finishes of countless beauties, GCJ speaks to the very moment that he fell head-over-heals, seeing Tito Jackson and The Brothers Johnson with their own mystifying struts, respectively. You can watch it all come together for Gary Clark Jr. in the clip below, but if you've yet to hear his latest outing, The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim, we implore you to hit iTunes and do so today. Peep his lengthy list of tour dates below as well.
