Gary Clark is a fantastic guitar player and woefully underappreciated. If he were around in the late 80s he would get the same recognition as guys like SRV and Robert Cray.
Starting in the late 1990s the music industry started focusing on teenage white girls and urban youth. So the beat was more important than the music overall. This was also about the time Swedish producers like Max Martin started to assert their influence.
Think about it, folks who know music know who Gary Clark,Jr and Angus King are, but I doubt few under 26 - 30 years old would know who he is. I think if Jimi were coming out today you might find him on some of the more specialized SiriusXM stations like the Spectrum or Lithium and you would have to discover him on YouTube by mistake. He would be regional and pigeonholed.

well Lithium is *only* 90s Alternative and Grunge, so if he came out today, he wouldn't be on there
***but they play multiple songs from Beasties Boys License to Ill. Which is Not 90's, not Alternative, and definitely not Grunge***
