Gary Clark Jr. Premieres "Grinder" Music Video — Exclusive

Gary Clark Jr. and GuitarWorld.com have gotten together to premiere "Grinder," Clark's new music video.

You can check out the clip—which was directed by Gaston Jouany—below.

"Grinder," which starts off with some feedback before settling into a dirty, bluesy groove, is from Clark's new album, The Story of Sonny Boy Slim, which is set for a September 11 release via Warner Bros. Records.

Clark wrote, produced and arranged the album, even playing the majority of the instruments himself. His sisters, Shawn and Savannah Clark, perform on the record as backing vocalists. As Clark said in a promo video for the new album, “The underlying tone of this album is faith and hope, really, at the end of the day. ‘Cause that’s all we need.”

The Story of Sonny Boy Slim is Clark's second album, the followup to 2012's Blak and Blu. You can check out its complete track list below.

Clark also has announced a fall/spring headlining tour that will take him across the U.S. Every ticket bought online will come with a standard digital download of The Story of Sonny Boy Slim. You can see his tour dates below.

The Story of Sonny Boy Slim can be preordered right here. All preorders come with instant downloads of "The Healing" and "Grinder."
