Jeff Healey - Songs from the Road
(Ruf/Stone Plain Records)

The life and accomplishments of the late, and much regretted, Jeff Healey left fond memories in all his fans and build up a scent of a myth around this charismatic Canadian guitar player. Jeff’s fate was cruel but its terrific talent was a true blessing and a source of inspiration for all those who were in touch with him. These CD + DVD will contribute to enlarge the number of his numerous fans: classy guitar playing, inspired singing and a great sense of rhythm. Healey played legendary songs like “Whipping Post”, “Come Together” and some Blues standards, “Hoochie Coochie Man” - where you can find another myth of Canadian Rock Randy Bachman - “Stop Breaking Down” with great energy. For the record, keyboardist, singer and harp player Dave Murphy doesn’t seem to fit into the picture. Anyway, a high enjoyable set of music.
