I’m from Austin, so I’d BETTER know this one.

It’s Gary Clark.

Great blues guitarist- I was just a bit surprised to see him on stage for that number, since most of the other artists were new inductees into the Hall of Fame (Geddy and Alex from Rush, Ann & Nancy Wilson from Heart) or current members (John Fogerty of CCR).

Tom Morello, of course, is neither (yet).

Thanks! And now I shall investigate further. He’s got a great voice. I imagine his guitar playing is up there too.

Yeah, he’s great. Newish album is called Blak and Blu, I think. Great playing on it; I’d say the songs are a bit hit and miss…

I used to watch him play at the Continental Club on Wednesdays.
