Details: Product Description Guitarist, singer songwriter W.C. Clark is the famed "godfather" of the world-famous Austin blues scene. His five-decade career and his role as mentor for blues greats like Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan and others. From Austin With Soul showcases W.C. Clark's heart-meltin blend of sweet Memphis soul and tough Texas blues. Amazon.ca On his fourth recording, W.C. Clark, a revered figure in Austin roots music, successfully mixes elements of blues, R&B, and soul. The 62-year-old sings original songs and time-honored material (from Bobby Bland and Clarence Carter, among others) so movingly, it's obvious he acutely understands heartache and the value of perseverance. As a guitarist, Clark again displays a strong and personalized style that reflects the influence of B.B. King, T-Bone Walker, and Charlie Christian. The album hits its highest peaks when the Texan "washes away the misery" of "Let It Rain" and when his delight bursts all over "Got to Find a Lover." Aided by a squad of dependable Lone Star musicians that includes four horns, Clark projects mounting drama with typical ease everywhere else, too. --Frank-John Hadley
