Gary Clark Jr. performs a cover of "Catfish Blues" originally by Robert Petway at the Farm Aid concert in Raleigh, NC on September 13, 2014. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001. For more information about Farm Aid, visit: http://farmaid.org/youtube Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help — what can you do?

Very mediocre. If you don't believe me pick up your guitar and try to play his solo, you'll see what i mean. It lacks the subtlety and depth of a master blues magician like the ones we all know so well. For comparison, try to play hendrix's cover of the same song. Try to note for note a BB King or SRV classic. What'll become apparent to you immediately is a VERY concerning lack of blues technique and creativity in Gary's playing. He sounds like he's just fiddling around the scales. He's a conman, sorry.

Gary Clark Jr. has a great voice and honestly really plays with feel, but I find his playing boring and super generic. Just overrated. I hate to be that guy, but just listen to Hendrix's version of this song and then his. Just opposite ends of the spectrum entirely.

You can't cover the blues. You have to feel it.

Heard many versions of this, Hendrix is still the best version after all these years. Sorry to say this, but Gary Clark reminds me of a black John Mayer, commercialized wannabe blues. Give the stage to Eric Gales....those who don't know him, do a youtube search....please.
