“Hey, gunslinger!”

Tom Petty greeted Gary Clark Jr. with a smile and a hug in the hallway backstage at the Frank Erwin Center as the young Texas bluesman made his way to the stage to open the show.

The pair had met in February in Los Angeles when Gary and his band played a blistering cover of “Good Enough” at the MusiCares event honoring Tom as their Person of the Year. Nearly two months later, everyone in the Heartbreakers camp was still buzzing about the performance.

“Wanna come up and play it with us tonight?” Tom asked Gary as Mike Campbell and Scott Thurston joined them in the hallway.

Just after “Free Fallin’,” Tom brought Gary to the stage to thunderous applause from his hometown crowd, and the band launched into the slow blues rocker off Mojo. This performance was absolutely good enough.
