This Land

One of the musical genius' of our time, Gary Clark Jr., recently released an album of his masterpieces called "This Land." The title track, which is also the first, really sets the tone for a magnificent piece of art. Clark is a multi-genre artist, using hip-hop, rock, funk, jazz, etc. to tell stories. For example, the lyric "It's hard out there for a lady/Sometimes the grass is way too deep/Now women/become mothers so our babies get to eat/What do you call the struggle when the cycle is complete?" from the song "Feed the Babies." Most of all the tracks have an incredible groove, and are impossible not to at minimum bob the listeners head. I have to say that Childish Gambino owes GCJ a lot, but GCJ also owes a ton to Prince, so it lives on. This is certainly another possibility for 2019 Album of the Year. Expect Grammy's.

Anyhow, I have about 30 or so photos from Feb. 14-19. Enjoy.
