Greetings and welcome to Jeff Healey Band.com.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with our site and who are wondering when more features and content will be added, please know that we continue to work on it and that your patience and support are greatly appreciated. A special thanks to all who have emailed us. We love to hear from you and we will respond to all your requests and comments.

Keep an eye on tour schedule. When performances are confirmed by our office we will post them to the site immediately, however they may be subject to change, so please check back regularly. Our UK/Euro tour in October is confirmed and we look forward to seeing all our friends and fans there. Distribution for the U.S is still being negotiated and we will post any news when it becomes available.

As it has been five years since the release of our last CD Cover to Cover, many or our fans are still unaware of our new CD Get me Some. Jeff, Tom and I would greatly appreciate it if those of you who have the new CD or who have visited this site, would help get the word out there. There is only so much that radio, video and traditional forms of exposure can do. Word of mouth is still one of the most powerful means of communication. And the internet is, as we are discovering, a great help in spreading the word. By doing so you will be helping us shape our future touring plans, as we tend to go wherever people are most familiar with the band and Jeff's awesome talents. For those of you inquiring about a possible Jeff Healey Band performance in your area, the best thing to do is contact your local concert promoter directly.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our long-term fans that have been so great to us throughout the years. And to our new fans and fellow musicians, "welcome to Jeff Healey Band.com."

Best wishes,

Joe Rockman

Meine Güte, da will's aber einer wissen. Nach dem eher enttäuschenden und zeitlich auch äußerst ungünstig erschienenen Blues-Album Cover To Cover (der Blues-Boom war 1995 längst wieder abgeebbt), meldet sich die Jeff Healey Band wieder zurück. Und wie! Schon das Intro des Openers "Which One" macht klar, dass die Band um den blinden kanadischen Gitarristen mit Get Me Some wieder andere Saiten aufgezogen hat: Statt dem authentischen, aber auch braven Blues des Vorgänger-Albums setzt das aus Toronto stammende Trio dieses Mal auf eine wesentlich rockigere und härtere Gangart. Songs wie "Love Is The Answer" und "Feel Better" sind Blues-Rock-Kracher reinsten Wassers, bei "Hey Hey" und dem akustischen "Macon Georgia Blue" drosselt die Band zwar das Tempo, die Interpretation ist dennoch herzhaft hemdärmelig. Als Fremdkörper der absolut in sich stimmenden CD kann man lediglich "I Tried" ausmachen -- kein Wunder, schließlich stammt der Track aus der Feder von Balladen-Königin Diane Warren.

Nach fünf Jahren Pause kommt die Jeff Healey Band mit klassisch wirkenden Roadsongs: ordentliche Gitarrenparaden mit Wah-Wah-Pedal und viel Wucht, aber auch jede Menge sanfter Töne. Im Unterschied zum Vorgänger stammen die meisten Songs aus dem Repertoire des Trio-Kollektivs. Vielleicht wirkt "Get Me Some" deshalb so kompakt.

Es ist bedauerlich, dass mit Jeff Healey einer der bedeutendsten E-Gitarristen unserer Tage beiweiten nicht die ihm angemessene Beachtung findet. Dies haengt unter anderem wohl damit zusammen, dass die nach dem Debuetalbum erschienen CDs tatsaechlich nicht an die Qualitaet des Erstlings heranreichten. Mit "Get Me Some" ist der Jeff Healey Band nun aber endlich wieder ein vollstaendig ueberzeugendes Album gelungen. Von der zum Teil nervenden Ueberproduktion der letzten Scheiben ist hier nichts zu spueren. Alle Stuecke sind ohne Schnoerkel eingespielt und gehen gleich beim ersten Hoeren ins Ohr. Healeys Gitarrenspiel ist dabei natuerlich wie auf allen seinen CDs von einer beeindruckenden Vitalitaet und Originalitaet, wie sie nach meiner Meinung kein anderer lebender Gitarrist besitzt.
