Gary Clark Jr. - MAKTUB (Official Music Video)
Heard it on The Current yesterday and it is my new jam.
Evan+Juliana is definitely one of my 90s happy places. Throw J into the mix and it’s even better.
I’ve been listening to a lot of jazz lately. I was experimenting at work with mellow music to keep the dogs calm and I called up a Bebop Classics playlist on Spotify. Jazz to me is a lot like baseball. I like to listen to it (watch it) I just don’t know much about the players. However, I’ve found myself drawn to John Coltrane, Chet Baker, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon. So far Charlie Parker and Miles Davis don’t really do it for me.
I like MAKTUB. I’m partial to You Can’t Hide.
MAKTUB, the band and Gary Clark jr.'s song title are completely unrelated. Apparently the word means, “It is written” in Arabic and is how they talk about fate or destiny.
Huh.
Will check out the band now.
