4.0 out of 5 stars
Great sophomore try, September 3, 2002
This review is from: Hell to Pay (Audio CD)
This is a good effort by The Jeff Healey Band to try to capture the essence of the band continuing from their first cd/album. Mark Knopfler's guest appearance on "I Think I Love You Too Much" is excellent as well as the late George Harrison's guesting on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" which he originally did as a member of The Beatles. Healey's style is his own but you can see shades of Eric Clapton's original "Gently Weeps" licks on this version. "How Long Can a Man Be Strong" is this cd's "Angel Eyes" and although his singing is not as passionate the guitar playing certainly is. A much better effort than his next album would be.

Jeff Healey's Best Album, January 29, 2005
This review is from: Hell to Pay (Audio CD)
HELL TO PAY is Jeff Healey's best album ever. There are numerous great cuts here, including "Full Circle", "I Think I Love You Too Much", "Can't Get My Hands On You", the title song, "Highway Of Dreams, and numerous others. The one that cuts deepest is a remake of John Hiatt's "Let It All Go", which talks about how people can mess up their lives by staying angry at friends and family for years, and how it doesn't get you anywhere. The closer, "Life Beyond The Sky", describes the decay of modern society as seen through the eyes of a frequent exercise walker, and, overall, most of this album seems to be about life's lessons learned the hard way. If SEE THE LIGHT proved that disabilities don't have to prevent you from living a full life, HELL TO PAY makes that even more clear.

Keeps Getting Better, April 12, 2004
This review is from: Hell to Pay (Audio CD)
When this came out(based on what I'd heard on "See The Light") I had to give it a listen. And I wasn't disappointed. He and his band have the fire and passion that I heard on the first album. Great music should be shared with the rest of the world and this definitely fits into that category. Music of this caliber belongs up there with the other greats. And so far, people I have shared this music with have all agreed. Give this one a listen once and you'll be coming back for more.
