Gary Clark Jr. joins host Stephen Kallao

Gary Clark Jr’s new album is called JPEG RAW, an acronym for Jealousy, Pride, Envy, Greed, Rules, Alter Ego, and Worlds. Overwhelmed by the deluge of images one encounters online, Clark wanted to explore our relationship with what is “real” versus what is “edited.” On the next World Cafe, he talks about making the album, which features appearances from George Clinton, Keyon Harrold and Stevie Wonder.

Listen to the session here.
