"Not Too Bad For A Blind White Boy..."

http://jeffhealey.com/home.htm

Jeff Healey passed yesterday of cancer at 41. That's too bad for his family, to be gone at such a young age.

He had a good voice and some badass licks on the geetar. I tend to like my blues with more of a rock edge, and Jeff sure delivered. Man, could he wail.

His album "See The Light" is pretty good. In fact, I'm putting it in right... now.

His album "Cover To Cover" is really good. Some killer guitar work on some classic rock and blues tunes.

I always tried to keep an eye out for him touring, it just seemed like it would be a good show. It's a shame, I missed out not ever catching him.

EDIT: I forgot how much I love his version of Hendrix' "Angel" from "Cover to Cover". Great song, great performance.

In pace requiescat, Mr. Healey.
