Jeff Healy Blues Band - Sittin`On Top Of The World - U.K Live at the Islington Academy 2007

 So after generating so much ire after disregarding Derek Trucks guitar playing and those shredder heavies that I do not care for and they are legion it would seem . . . Frank Marino t’other day!) I will stick to those I care for and consider could really play and if anyone’s interested my no 1 is Ryland P Cooder there is a list and goes to JH, SRV RG, and yes even pop figures like Carlos Alomar, etc etc but I digress

Here’s Jeff (Healy) live in London

apologies for the audience shot video (a phone job I guess) but just pin back your ears and listen

THIS is how blue men sing the whites . . . . . . .

Jeff Healey Live At The Electric Ladyland

 I am ashamed to say I came late to Jeff Healy and he was dead before I found out about him and yet the number of great guitarists I know and listen to you might expect me to have known better!? I certainly did. So here let’s hope this ROIO continues to make up for my ignorance. . . . 

Recorded live at Electric Ladyland, New York, July 27th, 1990.

GUITARS | Jeff Healy - See The Light (with Dr John) / Look At Little Sister (with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble)

 I don’t quite understand how I have not shared any Jeff Healey before and this is truly extraordinary

Here with Dr John playing perhaps his most famous hit. Known mostly from his rock/blues covers, Healy lost his eyes (literally) as a child to cancer and scarcely made it into his forties as it came back to claim him but in the short time he was with us I don’t really understand how he plays with his affliction [of being unable to actually see what he is doing] but also playing with his left hand approaching the fretboard like a ruddy keyboard!

See The Light*  - Jeff Healy

Jeff Healey in 1988 on the Jools Holland/David Sanborn hosted, 'Night Music'. Dr. John on piano, Marcus Miller on bass, Omar Hakim on drums... quite possibly one of the hottest bands ever assembled! This clip screams pure joy. It's a blast watching Marcus lose it as Jeff takes it to another level.

and here with the legendary Stevie Ray and Double Trouble
