Customer Reviews
Puts Credence Clearwater and Eric Clapton to shame..AWSOME
There are two new tracks on this disc seem to have been recorded for the cover to cover album but for some reason were left off. Jeff is the best guitarist I have ever witnessed.I have been able to catch the band live about 5 times now and they get better each time. This disc is a prime example of the bands wide range of talents from Eric Claptons Badge to Credence Clearwarters Run Thru the Jungle to the beatles While my guitar gentley weeps. You may believe that there are better guitarists however can any one of them close thier eyes and play the guitar laying in thier laps? I have yet to see any of them.
Not the best
Jeff Healey can be brilliant and has produced some magic tracks. Unfortunately there are not many on this CD. His best album in my opinion is 'See the Light' of which only 'Confidence Man' and 'See the Light' appear here. Any best of should include 'Roadhouse Blues', 'Blue Jean Blues', 'Highway 49', 'As the Years Go Passing By', 'Holding on', 'I Think I Love You Too Much' for starters. There is a definite gap in recording/production quality of some of the tracks on this album which creates a negative feeling. Jeff can tend towards the flashy which definitely spoilt the concert I saw of him some years back, but when he plays with reserve and true blues feeling, he is worth every dollar. On this album the gap between styles is also too great. 'It could all get blown away' highlights the best, 'Shapes of things' the worst.
A Great Album To Reflect By
I recommend this best of The Jeff Healey band over any of the other best of collections available. I have heard a few of his previous releases ie Hell To Pay etc and never got to getting any of them but why talk! Get this one, Their killer version Of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with George Harrison as a guest artist is worth it alone.Check my site out "Judemac Forever" & search msn, Google or Yahoo.
