Well if you are a fan of the fuzz-drenched band sound and earnest vocals of Mr Gary Clark Jnr then this live set gives you just what you want.

He features some popular tracks and two unfamiliars and they are pretty much all delivered raw, filth-soaked and from the way these cuts play very loud. From the off and Grinder we are hit with fuzz guitars, heavy bass, clattering drums and shards of legato lead guitar, topped off with characteristic throaty vocals. The Healing is a slow chug of a tune and Our Love very much more lyrical with a hint of Jimi.

Cold Blooded is startlingly choppy and immediately – to a veteran listener – evokes the ghost of the mighty Curtis Mayfield, bolstered by the convincing falsetto vocal Clark uses here. It’s the most memorable number on the set and sounds driven. When My Train Pulls In, a crowd favourite, then grinds into earshot strewn with harmonics and then a vocal of John Lee Hooker meanness, the impact is palpable.

This is what Gary’s fans want, to wallow in a sonic mudpool as his impassioned singing rings out. You Saved Me brings no let up as its grimy mantra blasts away and distorted guitar bursts fly off like shrapnel. Shake is the kind of number that younger blues followers into Alabama Shakes will like.

Church has doomy vibe with clearer axe chording and a reflective mood. Then suddenly Clark is pattering his way through Jimmy Reed’s Honest I Do, not an obvious influence to my ears as surely the belching smokestack adventures of Papa Lightfoot must have been heard by Clark at some point?

If not, well there’s a songbook to raid in future, Gary ! My Baby’s Gone the other new selection is dispatched with rusty and apocalyptic slide guitar sounding like HomeSick James in a very bad frame of mind.

Then on a bed of buzzing fuzz with a hint of amp tremelo and a snarly vocal we get closer Numb, another audience pick.

This record is not so much of a performance as a blues exorcism.
