If you ignore his duet with Alicia Keys (and you should ignore the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" cover currently making the rounds on the Information Superhighway), you'll notice that Gary Clark Jr. plays some mean blues guitar, as evidenced on his debut EP,
Bright Lights. Add to that singing chops and the fact that he's a handsome young black man, and you've got a record contract with Warner Bros. Either way, "I Don't Owe You a Thang" is a fucking jam, and this dude is going places. Opening are White Dress, whose experimental punk blues is scary and interesting.
