love seeing him from the heart bobbing his head while playing this tune. even though I'm not blind still bobbing my head the same way from the heart on a very Kick A song!!!!!
More than just technical mastery - he was blessed and had a higher level of touch tone and tastefulness in his chops than almost every I've ever heard!
First time I was even aware of Jeff and his unique style of playing was when I saw him in my all time favorite movie, ROADHOUSE. Someone asked what key this is? It's in E on my little slide guitar.
An awesome display of musical prowess! And in a style where it really counts, full of experts. I hope they play this rendition at my funeral. Hell, listening, I AM sitting on top of the world!!!!! I hope you RIP Jeff Healey Sir.
He was Amazing ,,,,,RIP Jeff......Show'em how to pick up there ! Jeff fought cancer all his life., He lost his sight as a child from it... I think he had a few bought with it,. it was cancer that took him.. very sad.
i'll venture that there may not be a bteer voice playing combination ever put together. what a God given talent. jam on with jerry reed, jeff, upstairs.
This is lovely. I am consistently a student of his playing and singing, so thanks. I am also usually happy with how Healey appears to have given a band the required space, particularly in a live context, if you know what I mean.
i was fortunate enough to see him once in seattle at the ballard fire house in 2000, i will never forget it or him. His music will live forever, god bless you jeff
jeff was out of this world,one of the better renditions of this song that i have heard.jeff was truely amazing,just goes to show how much we should thank god for what we have.And use our gifts for the better of man.
As someone who is visually impaired myself, a note on Jeff. He chose to play the way he did, it had nothing to do with his being someone who was blind, but rather a preference he had to play in this manner.
This man was sheer genius, love his stuff, but this track especially, sooooo cool and chilled out. The world has lost an amazingly talented blues artist, RIP Jeff, never forgotten.
I saw Jeff Healey live in 1986 I think it was. Damn it was a good show. So good, we (my brother, friends and outright strangers) got into a fight with the local gang. They were all patched up and ready to rumble. There were no winners btw but it brought the whole crowd together. I wish violence had not lead to a great concert. But it did. I guess beauty and truth will always win out in the end.
Sorry to hear about your departure Jeff. But I'll see you in that big RoadHouse in the sky. Yea baby!
Yeah, I didn't know till a while ago either. Cancer I believe. It is a tragedy, and what is a pity is that this didn't even make headlines. Its amazing the disrespect people have for incredible music.
Not many covers of this that I like.. But this is the best.. (yes best!) Thanks for the intensely great sound quality.. and for getting this up to share.. All the info you posted here is very helpful. I have some cd buying to do.. and I aint rich! But there are some priorities in life.. Jeff IS one! Live music is the other, when possible.
One of the things I never understood about the bluegrass folks--they speed this song up so much that it kills the melody. I love BG, but that may be my one big criticism!
Thanks for this. Lordy, Mr. Healy had the talent!!! I was so sorry to hear that he passed away!

nobody ever played quite the way he did. his limitations made him a unique and incredible player because he had to find his own way.
his soulfulness and lyrical quality of both his "voices" were a treasure. he is terribly missed
a true genius as his interest went far beyond blues to many genres.
RIP Jeff. you are dearly missed

Eye-cancer, since he was a child.
It was his destiny, he was NEVER to survive it. but he got 40+ years. Most people with eye-cancer say goodbye a lot earlier.
My very best and Rest In Peace, Jeff
