Quite a shake-up on the blues chart for the week ending June 1st, 2013 as Gary Clark, Jr. regains the top spot with his critically-acclaimed Blak and Blu as the album moves into its seventh month hovering at or near number one. It comes as no surprise, certainly, as Clark is rapidly becoming one of the most popular mainstream bluesmen, taking his place alongside such perennial chart-toppers as Joe Bonamassa, Eric Clapton, and Robert Cray….
