Rendered blind from eye cancer since the age of one, Healey picked up his first guitar at three, and - by playing the instrument flat on his lap - patented a revolutionary technique that went on to become a trademark of his performance. By the age of six, Healey was playing and singing in public. Once he reached his teens, the guitarist had already played in several bands, and experimented with numerous musical genres. At the age of fourteen, Healey had become the principal music spe******t at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, routinely airing vintage selections from his now 25,000-strong collection of 78 rpm recordings for his weekly radio broadcast.

If you are not familiar with the Jeff Healey Band, you may remember them from the movie "Roadhouse", that starred Patrick Swayze. Their first album was recorded in 1988 & is definitely a kick-butt rocker. The 80's did have a few good things & this album is one of them. So here it is!!!
