Kalamazoo Gazette interwiew with Lil' Ed as he talks about JR. - November 19, 2006
If he could pass the fez hat to a new bluesman, who would that be?
``There is one guy who is out there who is really following my footsteps,'' he said. ``J.R. Clark. If you're standing outside and you hear the music, you would think it's me. He's pretty much that good.''
He heard Clark while standing outside waiting to play one of his many shows at Wonderful's.
``I heard this music and I thought, they're playing one of my records. And then he started singing, and I thought, wait a minute ... .''
Clark didn't sound very surprised when told that Lil' Ed sees him as his musical heir.
``We're pretty good buddies,'' Clark said. ``Years ago I saw him open for George Thorogood, and I've been hooked since.''
Clark began playing 15 years ago, learning guitar from Lil' Ed albums. After meeting Lil' Ed, he learned from him personally.
``Every time I see him play, it just fires me up,'' Clark said.
