Topic: Jeff Healey's "Mess of Blues"

Anybody over there in Europe scored this release yet? Any reviews?

What I am reading online seem to be quite mixed....

Re: Jeff Healey's "Mess of Blues"

Hello Mikeb,

I read a review in the German magazine Audio and I'll translate it for you from German into English as good as possible:

After years, in which he was more into jazz, Healey again made an album, where he plays beside Rockclassics like Weight and Jambalaya, much  blues. It became his last one- he died from cancer on his 41th in March.
With a very strong band the blind Canadian guitarist shines again as in his earlier years, everything sounds "live" though only 4 songs were recorded in front of a live audience.

A moving goodbye CD!

Music; 4 out of 5 stars
Sound ; 3 out of 5 stars.

I haven't heard it myself yet.
