Released on what would've been Jeff Healey's 50th birthday, Heal My Soul is the first collection of unheard original Healey material released in 15 years. These recordings were left incomplete at the time of Healey's death, so it was up to his estate to complete the tapes, and the efforts are relatively seamless: it all sounds like it dates from somewhere in the early 2000s, a period arriving after his hits but before he started exploring hot jazz. In other words, it's guitar-heavy blues-rock, where the songs are sometimes nicely constructed ("Baby Blue," "I Misunderstood") but sometimes feel like vehicles for tasty licks. Because Healey isn't around to spin out more of these tasty licks, there's value to this -- his solos and riffs are vibrant, elastic, and alive -- but the record is best understood as a testament to his talent assembled by family for his fans to cherish.

'Heal My Soul' has been compiled by the Jeff Healey Estate to coincide with what would have been Healey’s 50th birthday on March 25th, 2016. Healey is remembered as one of the most outstanding guitarists and performers of the past 30 years.

Jeff Healey: Heal My Soul Review
Heal My Soul     
 
Heal My Soul is the first album of new material in fifteen years from the late great Jeff Healey.  A  lot of posthumous releases leave me with the impression that there was a good reason why the artist never released this material.  Naturally, I was nervous when I was asked to listen to Heal My Soul and write a review. I have been a Jeff Healey fan since his debut, See The Light. Was I going to have to give a bad review to one of my favorite artists of all time?
 
With the first blistering guitar strains of the opening track “Daze Of The Night,” I breathed an enormous sigh of relief and it gets better, too.  “Moodswing” keeps us rocking hard with it’s wah-wah soaked riffing and trippy-drippy vocal lines. I started to realize that this is no collection of b-sides and throwaways. The acoustic “Baby Blue” is a gorgeous ballad with harmonies that just bring a smile to your face. “I Misunderstood” shows what Jeff can do with a cleaner “Strat-tone.” Then it’s back to hard driving blues rock riffing with “Please.” There isn’t a bad song or even dull moment in the whole lot. In many ways this is some of Jeff’s best work. Which begs the question, why did it take fifteen years to release?
 
Heal My Soul was compiled with the participation and full approval of the Jeff Healey Estate to coincide with what would have been Healey’s 50th birthday on March 25th, 2016.  Jeff Healey is remembered as one of the most outstanding guitarists and performers of the past 30 years. This album reignited my passion for Jeff’s music and I found myself digging into his back catalog.  Heal My Soul is much more than just a fitting tribute.  With it’s superb song selection, fiery guitar work and very modern production, this album sounds like Jeff made it yesterday.

Ungehörtes aus dem Archiv. Er starb 2008 im Alter von nur 41 Jahren, aber Jeff Healey hat in seiner kurzen Karriere sehr viel Musik aufgenommen. Warum dieses großartige Rock-Album jahrelang unter Verschluss gehalten wurde, ist ein Rätsel. Denn a) sind die Zeiten für Gitarren-Musik aus dieser Sparte nie besser gewesen und b) heben sich die zwölf Songs kaum vom Qualitätsstandard eines Joe Bonamassa ab. Healey, früh erblindet, war einer der emotionalsten Künstler seiner Zunft, brachte den Blues authentisch rüber. Doch auch Jazz oder Rock konnte er seinen eigenen Stempel aufdrücken. Dieses posthume Album gehört zu seinen besten Werken, es pendelt zwischen klassischem Laid-Back-Blues (›Baby Blue‹), Pop/Rock (›I Misunderstood‹, ›Love In Her Eyes‹) und Blues-Rock (›Temptation‹), jeder Song ist ein Beweis für die einzigartigen Songwriter-Qualitäten des Kanadiers. Normalerweise schwingt bei Veröffentlichungen dieser Art immer ein fader Beigeschmack mit, hier kann man wirklich froh darüber sein, dass seine Familie dieses Projekt unterstützt hat.
