Gary Clark Jr. has detailed his fourth studio LP. The Texas guitar hero will share JPEG RAW on March 22 via Warner Records.
On his first new album in nearly five years, Clark continues expanding his musical scope to draw from jazz and traditional music of Africa.
A release points to Clark sampling songs by Thelonious Monk and Sonny Boy Williamson, while his list of guest collaborators includes Stevie Wonder, Parliament-Funkadelic leader George Clinton, Valerie June and more.
