Though not one of the best known of the modern Texas blues guitarists,
Clarence Green is regarded by his peers as one of the best.
Green (not to be confused with the late
Clarence "Candy" Green, a Texas blues pianist) did session work for Duke Records in the '60s with
Junior Parker,
Bobby Bland, and others, and performed with stars from
Fats Domino to
Johnny Nash. His own recordings have mostly been for small Houston labels. As Marcel Vos from Double Trouble Records wrote, "The
Clarence Green of today plays a brand of Texas blues that is mixed with soul, jazz, and funk, not unlike the music of fellow Texans such as
Roy Gaines,
Cornell Dupree, and of course, his brother
Cal Green." ~ Jim O'Neal
