This will be a must-get for me. Jeff was amazing, and I feel lucky that I got to see him live (some twenty years ago, opening for Little Feat)...

Jeff healey?

Did he have a song way back when (80's) called "angel eyes".

If so...I'm taking my lighter out right now and waving it slowly,

Due to public demand in the aftermath of Jeff Healey's passing, this album's release date has been brought forward by six weeks and is now available.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised to see it on sale at J&R last week. Added to Jimbo's List.

He DIED??

@#@#!! CK!

Thats a total shocker...Jeeze...
With the exception of my anniversary (today) its been kind of a crappy month. (Dave Stevens, Jeff Healey)

His new CD- " Mess Of Blues " is very good, a combination of live and studio cuts that include both blues and rock. I was pleasantly surprised by this release, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to everyone. FYI- I would rate my top three as:
See the Light
Mess of Blues
Cover to Cover- this one simply for track # 10- As The Years Go Passing By.

Get Me Some from 2000 is hands down my 2nd favorite blues record of his. It is fantastic and rocks all the way through. If you are a fan and don't have it, then get it.
