Guitarist Gary Clark Jr. will soon release a live album Live North America 2016. As the title implies, the LP coming out on March 17 via Warner Bros. Records was culled from live performances Clark held during his 2016 North American Tour.

Featuring 12 completely live tracks with no overdubs, the live set features all new and unreleased live recordings from Clark’s tour in support of his 2015 studio album The Story of Sonny Boy Slim. Live cuts from that record featured in the upcoming release include “The Healing,” “Grinder,” “Our Love,” and “Cold-Blooded” as well as “Shake” which features guest vocalist Leon Bridges and saxophonist Jeff Dazey. Clark’s previously unreleased covers of Jimmy Reed’s “Honest I Do” and Elmore James’ “My Baby’s Gone” are also part of Live North America 2016.

Here’s the official video for “The Healing”:
