Gary Clark, Jr. This Land *

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "In place of copious guitar solos, we get bass synths, keyboards, and a series of programmed samples that add a convincing contemporary accent to the survey of genres Clark draws from this time."
Billboard - "Clark's 'This Land' is a lot less polite and a lot more personal....[A] firestorm of an anthem worthy of the Great American Songbook."
Paste (magazine) - "Clark goes out on a long limb both in terms of production and lyrics, and his game attitude pays off in a big way. Whatever Gary Clark Jr. lacks in narrative intuition he makes up for with six strings, once again proving himself to be one of the most impressive guitarists around."
