Three of these rips are not mine so I would like to thank Demonoid members Ridix ulous for the albums Feel This & Cover To Cover. Also to Shitthebed for the albu m The Very Best Of. If anybody has anymore Jeff Healey please do make available in flac! Track 7 of It's Tight Like That has some audible noise at 4:58 - 5:27 due to scu ffed disc. My apologies but I left it in this torrent since Jeff Healey in FLAC is a bit rare. If somebody has this album and wants to upload a better rip pleas e do so. Also, Jeff was taken from us March 2 2008 at 41 years of age due to cancer and w as obviously much too young. The music world just won't be the same without him.
RIP. Kit
From Wiki: Norman Jeffrey "Jeff" Healey (March 25, 1966 March 2, 2008) was a blind Canadian j azz and blues-rock vocalist and guitarist who attained musical and personal popu larity, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Healey was raised in the city's west end. He was adopt ed as an infant;[1] his adoptive father was a firefighter. When he was eight mon ths old, Healey lost his sight to retinoblastoma, a rare cancer of the eyes. His eyes had to be surgically removed, and he was given artificial replacements. Healey began playing guitar when he was three, developing his unique style of aying the instrument flat on his lap. When he was 17, he formed the band Blue rection, a four-piece band which primarily played bar-band cover tunes. Among e other musicians were bassist Jeremy Littler, drummer Graydon Chapman, and a hoolmate, Rob Quail on second guitar. This band played various local clubs in ronto, including the Colonial Tavern. pl Di th sc To
Healey began hosting a jazz and blues show on radio station CIUT-FM where he bec ame known for playing from his massive collection of vintage 78 rpm gramophone r ecords.[2] Shortly thereafter he was introduced to two musicians, bassist Joe Rockman and d rummer Tom Stephen, with whom he formed a trio, "The Jeff Healey Band". This ban d made their first public appearance at the Birds Nest, located upstairs at Chic ago's Diner on Queen Street West in Toronto. They received a write-up in Toronto 's NOW magazine, and soon were playing almost nightly in local clubs, such as Gr ossman's Tavern and the famed blues club Albert's Hall (where Jeff Healey was di scovered by guitarists Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert Collins). After being signed to Arista Records in 1988, the band released the album See th e Light, featuring the hit single "Angel Eyes" and the song "Hideaway", which wa s nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. While the band was recording See the Light, they were also filming (and recording for the soundtrack of) the Patrick Swayze film Road House.[3] Healey had numerous actin g scenes in the movie with Swayze, as his band was the house cover band for the bar featured in the movie. In 1990, the band won the Juno Award for Canadian Ent ertainer of the Year. The albums Hell to Pay and Feel This gave Healey 10 charti ng singles in Canada between 1990 and 1994, including a cover of The Beatles' Wh ile My Guitar Gently Weeps which featured George Harrison and Jeff Lynne on back ing vocals and acoustic guitar
By the release of the 2000 album Get Me Some, Healey began to concentrate his ta lent in another direction closer to his heart, which was the appreciation for an other original American music form, jazz. He went on to release three CDs of music of traditional American jazz from the 1 920s and 1930s. He had been sitting in with these types of bands around Toronto since the beginning of his music career. Though known primarily as a guitarist, Healey also played trumpet during live performances. Healey was an avid record collector and amassed a collection of well over 30,000 78 rpm records. He had, from time to time, hosted a CBC Radio program entitled My Kind of Jazz, in which he played records from his vast vintage jazz collectio n. He hosted a program with a similar name on Toronto jazz station CJRT-FM; as o f 2010, the latter program continues to air in repeats. He had also been touring with his other group, The Jazz Wizards, playing America n hot jazz. (At the time of his death, they had been planning to perform a serie s of shows in the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands in April 2008.) For many years, Healey performed at his club, "Healey's" on Bathurst Street in T oronto, where he played with "The Healey's House Band" on Thursday nights and wi th his jazz group on Saturday afternoons. The club moved to a bigger location at 56 Blue Jays Way and was rechristened "Jeff Healey's Roadhouse." Though he had lent his name to the club and often played there, Jeff Healey did not own or man age the bar. (The name came from the 1989 film, Road House, in which Healey appe ared.) Over the years, Healey toured and sat-in with many legendary performers, includi ng Dire Straits, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, BB King, ZZ Top, Steve Lukather, Eric Clapton and many more. In 2006, Healey appeared on Deep Purple vocalist Ia n Gillan's CD/DVD Gillan's Inn. Healey discovered and helped develop the careers of other musical artists, inclu ding Terra Hazelton and Amanda Marshall.[5] In early 2009, Healey's album Mess of Blues won in The 8th Annual Independent Mu sic Awards for Best Blues Album. On January 11, 2007, Healey underwent surgery to remove metastatic tissue from b oth lungs. In the previous eighteen months, he had two sarcomas removed from his legs.[7] On March 2, 2008, Healey died of cancer[8] at St. Joseph's Health Centre in his home town of Toronto.[9] He was 41 years old. His death came a month before the release of Mess of Blues, which was his first rock/blues album in eight years.[1 0] Healey is survived by his wife, Cristie, and two children.[11] A tribute concert was held on May 3, 2008, to benefit Daisy's Eye Cancer Fund, which, according t o Cristie Healey, had helped make major strides in research and future advances for people born with the same genetically inherited retinoblastoma[12] which had plagued her husband since he was one year of age. Cristie and Jeff Healey's son was also born with the same disability.[13] In 2009, he was inducted into the Terry Fox Hall of Fame.
