Publisher's Summary

Before Gary Clark Jr.’s first major-label album even debuted, the music world had already labeled him the rightful torchbearer of the blues. In his new Audible Original, Deep Soul Lowdown, the soft-spoken Texas guitar hero unpacks the gravity (and limitations) of such towering expectations as he recounts his astonishing life journey from teenage phenomenon to inheritor of the very mantle of his mentors. 

Combining intimate storytelling with seven of his most powerful tracks, including “When My Train Pulls In”, “Bright Lights”, and “This Land”, Clark reveals how an artist, firmly rooted in American musical tradition, has also succeeded in carving out his own unique path forward. Listen to the progression of a modern-day legend whose electrifying talent is matched only by his distinct authenticity.

Excellent

Worth every second. After scrolling through many of the new Audible Originals, barely getting through the first chapters, I listened to Gary Clark’s Deep Soul Lowdown without interruption. Immediately texted my kids to suggest they listen as well. Will be doing some research on this talented young man, looking forward to adding his up-to-this-moment unfamiliar music to my playlist. Thank you for providing us with this timely and important work.

Honest story telling, remarkable musicianship

I'd never heard of Gary Clark Jr. but something about this seemed interesting. I'm glad I gave it a chance. He had me hooked in so many ways: the honest coming-up story, the revealing present day, the traditional blues at the beginning, and watching the genres shift as his career matured. That was a heck of a ride for such a small performance.
