This past Sunday I was sitting in a noisy Starbucks, inside a Barnes & Noble bookstore and heard a new track to my ears that I immediately liked. It was " Thing are changin' " by the Gary Clark Jr. It turns out that there is also an acoustic version of the song and they both are fantastic. I thought it may have been the Artist Miguel. Thank you Barnes & Noble music department, I may have not been introduced to this new artist had I not been in there at the time.
