Gary Lee Clark Jr. (born February 15, 1984) is an American musician based in Austin, Texas. Clark has shared the stage with various legends of rock and roll, and has stated that he is "influenced by blues, jazz, soul [and] country, as well as hip hop". Clark's musical trademarks are his distorted guitar sound and smooth vocal style.

Blak and Blu is the major-label debut studio album by American musician Gary Clark, Jr., released on October 22, 2012. The album touches on a wide variety of traditionally black music genres, including soul ("Please Come Home"), hip-hop/R&B ("The Life"), Chuck Berry-esque rock and roll ("Travis County"), and Clark's trademark, blues ("When My Train Pulls In", "Numb", "Next Door Neighbor Blues"). Blak and Blu netted Clark his first two Grammy Award nominations, one for Best Rock Song ("Ain't Messin Round") and the other for Best Traditional R&B Performance ("Please Come Home") which won. This marked the first time that an artist was nominated in both categories in the same year. It peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 album chart, and number one on the Blues Albums chart.

Ooh baby things are changing now

Things are changing now and i can't tell

Where i'll be from here on out

Ooh it's hell

Knowing that for now

We shouldn't kiss and tell

When it's so good

You walk up to me like a stranger girl

And i already know your name

I can make you feel good

If you want to give me the time of day

Won't you listen to me here and now

Cause i'll lay it down simple and plan

Ooh it'd be good to get together girl

But it'll be so hard to maintain

Cause it seems like now

[chorus]

I told you already girl

That i oh i was so gone

But that sweet sweet love

Yeah it had me hanging on

So strong and i

I know now girl

That i can stand alone

I was put here on this earth

By myself woah i gotta keep moving on

Cause it seems like now
