Topic: Jeff Healey Live At Grossmans

An update:

According to Amazon: "This title will be released on June 14, 2011"

"Hot on the heels of Eagle Rock's long-awaited reissue of blues guitarist Jeff Healey's long-lost, poorly-distributed 2000 album Get Me Some comes news of a live archival set, Live At Grossman's, scheduled to be released on June 14, 2011. Culled from two night's performances at Grossman's Tavern in Toronto in April 1994, Healey and his band rip and roar through a set that includes both original tunes and classic blues and blues-rock covers of songs like Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower," Elmore James' "Dust My Broom," and Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile."

Jeff Healey was one of the most exciting and innovative bluesmen of the 1990s. Blind since childhood, Healey played his guitar in his lap and infused his songs with great emotion, originals and covers alike fused to a soundtrack of blues, rock, and jazz music. By 1994, Healey and his band were riding high in their homeland of Canada, scoring an impressive string of ten hit singles over the past four years. Healey also wasn't doing too bad in America, his 1988 debut album See The Light rising to #22 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart on the strength of his #5 hit single "Angel Eyes." Healey's 1990 sophomore effort, Hell To Pay, didn't do too shabby either, hitting Top 30 on the charts.

Live At Grossman's is the first shot in a planned series of archival releases on both CD and DVD, performances taken from Healey's personal archives and authorized by his family and bandmates."

Thanks, will look out for it. Saw him in his Toronto club a few months before he died. It was a sad loss.
