5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant blues-rock album, February 16, 2001

By	G. Sawaged (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The Jeff Healey Band have a winner with this album. 14 years later and it is still as fresh sounding as ever. And of course, it contains the wonderful hit "Angel Eyes". Jeff Healey is one of the best guitarists ever...he has been called "another Hendrix", "a marvel of speed" and "a guitar wizard" all of which are true. And he has a unique way of playing his guitar...being blind, he found it more comfortable to play it sitting, with the guitar flat on his lap. As he says in the liner notes, he can use all five of his left-hand fingers for different types of vibrato. And he does a lot of bending with his thumb and uses it to hit notes above and beyond where you can normally reach. If you love blues-rock ala Clapton or Stevie Ray Vaughn, then you will love Jeff Healey.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Album is Beyond Belief, January 25, 2005

By	Steve K "The DON" (Delta, CO,USA) - See all my reviews

I am 60 and have been listening to music since doowop in the 50s. Running across Jeff Healey in "Roadhouse" was a revelation. I just loved that music & recently ordered 3 JH CDS, all very good, but this is BEYOND belief. Every track is stellar. If I look with all my might for flaws, I cant find any. What a talent! Some people are handicapped, by their infirmity, not JEFF, he's unbeleivably great & this album proves it. I have nothing more to add that hasnt been said already by the other reviewers. Get this album, then you can die. Page, Clapton, Hendrix all must step aside for Jeff Healey. All Hail!

5.0 out of 5 stars Shame On Radio, April 12, 2004

By	kondor,kondor (Ca) - See all my reviews

Forget this man lays his guitar on his lap and CREATED this style of playing the electric guitar. I know of no other guitar player or have heard of one in the world who plays his electric guitar laying across his lap(If there is, please enlighten me). Forget he's blind. Forget he plays with 2 talented, underrated musicians(a bass player and a drummer - a 3 piece).
Just listen to this music with your eyes closed and if you can't hear and believe this is some of the best music ever written(to be compared with Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page), you don't have a good ear for music. This cd has it all. Great lyrics, great hooks, great arranging, and timeless music that will stand the test of time, like "the Beatles". Why the "Radio World" stopped playing his music is beyond me. Buy this cd!!
