Clark released  The Story of Sonny Boy Slim,  which entered the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart at No 8 and earned him his second consecutive Top Ten album debut. His current headlining tour sold out six months in advance, including two recent packed shows at Terminal 5 in New York City and three intense, sold out nights at The Fonda Theater in his adopted hometown of Los Angeles. Each night of the tour is different from the previous with over two hours of explosive performances that some say were his best ever:
"He's packing secret weaponry - a set of searing, souldful new songs. Her's also introducing new sonic elements...an unleashed fury that moves through is body like a firestorm as he conjures the spirits to resurrect everything that's still right about the Austin music scene, but it was the new material, rich with heart and a new depth of emotion, that was truly stunning."    - Austin American Statesman  "Gary Clark Jr. is plying the most exciting set of his career" - Rolling Stone / Jan 14, '16 cover date "On  'The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim,'  he's got a frim handle on the narritives he wants to unfurl, the roles he wants to embody and the sounds he wants to play up. He makes primal concerns seem at once colossal, socially incisive and personal, so that it hardly matters where autobiography ends and invention begins. All this blues-bendingexpansion is no accident. Clark elected to produce himself this time, holing up in a homwtown studo so that he could push his evoluition forward on his own thrilling therms." -  NPR / Jewly Hight  Clarktoured with the Foo Fighters for a month this past fall, at their behest, and recorded on their latest album and performed on their  Sonic Highway  TV special. He was also invited to open for The Rolling Stones in San Diego on the first night of their 2015 tour, where he also joined them onstage for a rowdy performance of their Sticky Fingers album track "Bitch."  In addition, Clark dominated television, with performances on  The Ellen DeGeneres Show ,  The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , Austin City Limits, CBS Weekend, and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and graced the covers ofWax Poetics, Guitar Aficionado, Relix, Austin Way, The Blues Magazine (UK) and Premier Guitar magazines.
