W.C. CLARK BLUES REVUE Something For Everybody STILL SEALED Texas '87 DMM SRV WC W. C. Clark (born Wesley Curley Clark, November 16, 1939) is an American blues musician. He is known as the "Godfather of Austin Blues"[1] for his influence on the Austin, Texas blues scene since the late 1960s. Contents Biography Clark was born and raised in Austin, Texas, United States, where he sang gospel music in the choir as a young boy. In the early 1950s at age 14 he first learned the guitar, and then later experimented with blues and jazz on the bass guitar. By the early 1960s, he began attracting the attention of such Texas blues performers as Big Joe Turner, Albert Collins and Little Johnny Taylor. In the late 1960s, he joined the R&B Joe Tex Band, and left Austin, where he thought the R&B scene had died. But during a tour with the band back through Austin, Clark sat in on bass with younger Austin locals Jimmie Vaughan and Paul Ray at an East Austin club. After the session playing with Vaughan and Ray, Clark changed his mind about Austin. He left Joe Tex two weeks later and moved back to Austin, where he then remained to guide and inspire numerous Austin musicians and lay the foundation of the prolific Austin blues and rock scene of the 1970s and later. He formed several bands with various names, which also included as members Jimmie Vaughan and Angela Strehli. In 1975, Clark formed the W. C. Clark Blues Revue. Through the 1980s that band played venues with international greats such as James Brown, B.B. King, Albert King, Freddy King, Sam and Dave, Elvin Bishop and Bobby Blue Bland.[citation needed] From late September 1977 to May 1978, Clark played in an Austin blues quintet named Triple Threat Revue, with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lou Ann Barton.[2] By the early 1980s Clark had taught future rock prodigy brothers Charlie Sexton and Will Sexton how to play guitar, while they were still young boys. In 1990, Clark appeared on the PBS music television program Austin City Limits, with his group W. C. Clark Blues Revue, from a show taped October 10, 1989, in celebration of his 50th birthday, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan and Kim Wilson of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Lou Ann Barton, Angela Strehli and his former protégé, Will Sexton.[1] In March 1997, on the eve of Austin's South by Southwest music festival, as Clark and his band were returning from a show in Milwaukee, their van, driven by Clark, veered off the highway and down a steep embankment near Sherman, Texas, injuring his arm and killing his fiancee Brenda Jasek and his drummer, Pedro Alcoser, Jr.[3] The album Lover's Plea followed, containing the single "Are You Here, Are You There?" in memory of Jasek.[4] Discography 1987 Something for Everybody (Drippin' DR-1001) (LP; under the name W.C.

Clark Blues Revue The electrifying R&B; of Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble and an all-star Austin music salute to the “Godfather of Austin Blues,” W.C. Clark, take center stage in a very special Austin City Limits. Among those gathered to honor Clark in celebration of his 50th birthday, are longtime friends Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan and Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, blues chanteuses Lou Ann Barton and Angela Strehli and rocker Will Sexton. When Vaughan was a boy growing up in south Dallas, his brother Jimmie taught him how to play the guitar. “He was a great inspiration for me,” Vaughan said, “… I mean, he could play anything.” Eventually, Vaughan held his own and he began getting offers from the Rolling Stones and Jackson Browne. Vaughan played in several Austin bands, including the blues quintet Triple Threat Revue, in the early '70s with W.C. Clark and Lou Ann Barton. His career immediately took off when he landed a recording contract with Epic Records. Vaughan’s albums have been very well received by the public (each album a million-seller) as well as by the critics. His 1983 album, Texas Flood, was an impressive debut, followed a year later by the tougher-edged Couldn’t Stand The Weather. In 1985, Soul To Soul gave an indication of the broad range of Vaughan’s abilities as he added keyboards and mixed in healthy doses of jazz and R&B.; Next was Live Alive, the 1986 double-disc live concert set that includes his powerhouse cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile.” Vaughan’s latest release is In Step, an album that presents him as a fully rounded personality and stylist. Austin blues legend W.C. Clark has been, and continues to be, a friend, teacher and an inspiration to numerous Austin musicians. Credit goes to Clark for laying the foundation for what has become one of the most vital blues scenes in the country. In W.C. Clark’s early days (born and raised in Austin), he soaked up a broad range of musical styles. He sang gospel in the choir as a young boy. He picked up guitar at age 14 and later moved on to bass guitar, experimenting with blues and jazz. W.C.’s style evolved and he began attracting the attention of Big Joe Turner, Albert Collins and Little Johnny Taylor, among others. In the late '60s, he joined up with the Joe Tex Band. When the band was passing through Austin, W.C. sat in on bass with Jimmie Vaughan and Paul Ray at an East Austin club. He thought the R&B; scene had died in Austin, but after playing with Vaughan and Ray, he changed his mind. Two weeks later, he left Joe Tex and moved back to Austin. From that point on, he was Austin’s hometown blues master for musicians aspiring to play the blues. In fact, he taught rockers Charlie and Will Sexton how to play guitar when they were young boys. Over the years Clark joined forces with Jimmie Vaughan, Angela Strehli, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lou Ann Barton in several different bands under various names. In 1975, Clark formed the W.C. Clark Blues Revue. During the past eleven years, the W.C. Clark Blues Revue has shared bills with such international greats as James Brown, B.B. King, Albert King, the late Freddy King, Sam and Dave, Elvin Bishop and Bobby Blue Bland.

Clark was one of Austin's original blues musicians, and he is considered the godfather of that city's blues scene. Wesley Curley Clark was born and raised in Austin and grew up surrounded by music, since his father was a guitar player and his mother and grandmother sang in the choir at St. John's College Baptist Church. By the time he was 16, he played his first show at Victory Grill and was introduced to local legends T.D. Bell and Erbie Bowser. He began playing bass with Bell's band, honing his blues chops on guitar on his own time. While East Austin's club scene flourished in the late 1950s and early '60s, white students from the nearby University of Texas campus began to patronize the blues clubs, and after taking a regular gig at Charlie's Playhouse, Clark made music his full-time occupation. After six years at the playhouse, he met R&B singer Joe Tex and joined his band as guitarist. After leaving Tex's band and returning to Austin, Clark was surprised and encouraged by the infusion of young white blues players on the local scene. Bill Campbell, Angela Strehli, Lewis Cowdrey and Paul Ray and the Vaughan brothers were attracting growing crowds to their shows and forming close bonds with the black blues players who had already been on the scene. In the early 1970s, Clark teamed up with guitarist and piano player Denny Freeman and vocalist Angela Strehli to form a group called Southern Feeling. With this group, Clark was able to blossom as a songwriter, but after a record deal fell apart, he took a job as a mechanic at a local Ford dealership. However, a young guitarist named Stevie Ray Vaughan kept visiting him at the garage. Vaughan was putting his own band together and insisted that Clark be a part of it. Calling themselves the Triple Threat Revue, they eventually took to the road with Lou Ann Barton as lead vocalist. Clark and keyboardist Mike Kindred wrote "Cold Shot," which went on to become one of Vaughan's biggest hits in the mid-1980s. Clark has recorded three albums -- Something for Everybody (1986), released independently on his own label, and two albums for the New Orleans-based BlackTop label, 1994's Heart of Gold and 1996's Texas Soul. On Texas Soul, Clark is accompanied by a band of Austin-area blues veterans, including Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon of Vaughan's Double Trouble, producer and guitarist Derek O'Brien, and saxophonist Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff. In March 1997, Clark and his band had an accident while returning to Austin in their van; he lost his fiancee and drummer. Clark was uninjured, but the experience slowed him down for awhile. However, Clark continues to be active on the Austin blues scene, of which he is affectionately referred to as "the godfather," releasing Lover's Plea in 1998. He hit the road to promote the album around the same time that the PBS show Austin City Limits began showing a rare performance with Stevie Ray Vaughan as a part of their "Best of" series. After the tour, he went back to the studio and didn't return until 2002, when From Austin with Soul was released. W.C.
