Gary Clark Jr. wrote "The Healing" by himself, words and music, and it's one of the 13 originals on The Story of Sonny Boy Slim, his second studio album, which Warner Bros. released on September 11, 2015. The record stirs his blues, rock and soul into one pot and lets hints of hip hop and R&B seep in around the edges.
Even the album's name is personal, stitched together from two nicknames he grew up with: Sonny Boy, which is what his mother called him, and Slim, which the Austin blues scene pinned on him for his tall, lean frame.
