JEFF HEALEY BAND: GET ME SOME
A SoundPress.net CD Review


The Jeff Healey Band - Alive and Well on the U.S. release of Get Me Some!

Jeff Healey was born and raised in Canada. Jeff started learning guitar at age three developing the unique style of playing the instrument flat on his lap that added a vibrato effect to his sound. He formed The Jeff Healey Band (JHB) with bassist Joe Rockman and drummer Tom Stephen. In 1988, they released See the Light that featured two hit songs and established them as a mainstream act. Sadly, Jeff died from health issues in 2007. But, the talented songwriter is alive and well through his music, in particular on the recent U.S. release of his Get Me Some album (Eagle Rock Entertainment).

Originally on the market in 2000 Get Me Some was JHB's fifth studio album and the last before he headed off into a jazzier direction. The thirteen track CD is rock solid with hooks and elements of blues and boogie. Jeff is an expressive singer and brings many moods to his muse from smoking to sentimental. Healey's solos are passionate and propelled by Rockman and Stephen's robust rhythms.

The CD opens with the hard hitting "Which One", followed by the spirited "Hey Hey". "Love Is The Answer" is reflective as is "My Life Story" with a more vigorous beat. "I Tried" is slower with piano and strings adding to the song. "The Damage Is Done" is catchy yet caustic.

"Feel Better" ranges from soulful to soaring. "Holding On" is potent. "I Should Have Told You" tells a story with a mid-tempo county flair. "Macon Georgia Blue" is a blend of blues and melody. "House Is Burning Down" is sizzling countered by the slower, sweeter "Runaway Heart" and the CD closes with "Rachel's Song" - a beautiful ballad about being a dad. The Jeff Healey Band is alive and well on Get Me Some!
