Rolling Stone hailed Clark"The Chosen One" for creating his own personal brand of the blues, which he's contemporized into a style all his own inspired by hip-hop, psychedelic rock and R&B with equal measures of tradition and innovation. Paired with his distinctive smooth, soulful vocal delivery, it's a winning combination which has captured the attention of Eric Clapton, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Neil Young, B.B. King, The Rolling Stones, Booker T. Jones, Buddy Guy, Sheryl Crow, Alicia Keys, My Morning Jacket and the list goes on. Clark won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B performance as well as the Blues Music Award for "Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year" two years in a row, has performed on the Grammy Broadcast three times, and has commanded late night TV for the past several years.

Vaughanhas become a staple in the blues-rock community first as a member of the Famous Thunderbirds and then as a solo artist. The first four albums from the Famous Thurderbirds are ranked among the most important "white blues" recordings. Vaughan is a four-time Grammy Award winner and has performed with the likes of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan.

As previously announced, Gary Clark Jr. will release his new hit single "Come Together" - from the DC film Justice League - on 12" vinyl as part of Record Store Day's Black Friday November 24. Clark has taken one of the most iconic Lennon/McCartney compositions and, along with DJ/producer Junkie XL, has found a way to create something completely new in the process. A massive Beatles fan, Clark approached this project with a sense of respect and brevity. The end result retains the original aesthetic while recombining the molecules into something uncompromising and sonically powerful. Justice Leagueopens in theaters November 17.
