Search - Jeff Healey :: Cover to Cover

Fantastic album...Clapton, watch out!

"This album is, as the title implies, a 'cover' album. And Jeff and his band do an incredible job on it. Whether it be Jimi Hendrix, Lennon and McCartney, Eric Clapton or any of the other artists he covers here, each and every song is brilliant. I think Clapton has some competition here! Jeff Healey is a fantasic guitarist, and to know that he is blind as well, makes him all the more amazing. On "Communication Breakdown" John Popper of Blues Traveller lends his harmonica playing skills, and on "Angel" Amanda Marshall is one of the backing singers. If you are a fan of blues/rock this album is highly recommended."

Covers Too?

"I couldn't understand before I purchased this album, why he did covers(Being as talented as he is) until I lisened to the cd. Now I know. He simply wanted to do some of his favorites and what a job he did. With his deep throaty vocals, and fiery lead guitar riffs, he sheds new light on these already famous tunes.
I'm not much for a band with an already great repertoire doing covers but he does the songs justice. Listening to him sing with passion and fire to an already great list of songs, he adds a twist to them that you haven't heard before."

Amazing, brilliant, Jeff's best album!

"This is by far Jeff's best album. It departs from the rest of his work in the sense that it is not a pop-rock album, but rather an amazing trip into the realms of the Blues. Jeff is simply brilliant. His technique, vibe and unique approach to the guitar sets him as one of the greatest players of our times. His versions of Stop Breaking Down, Moon is Full, and Lennons' Yer Blues are the high points of the album, in my opinion. If you are a guitar player, like me, or if you love blues, you have to add "Cover to Cover" to your collection."
