I always liked the way he covered a lot of great songs. He usually always had a great unknown lead guitarist. Nice work in the cover of Albert Collins "put the shoe on the other foot". Too bad he left too early,RIP

What do you mean he usually had a great unknown lead guitarist?? He was the lead guitarist??? The Jeff Healey Band was a trio!His wife just released a posthumous album and I heard some of it on Sunday Morning Blues on ZLX the other day!! It was great! I am going to pick that one up!!
Larry, did you watch either of those clips?
He was the frontman, but not the lead by any means. Maybe co-lead, but the other guys solo blew Jeffs doors off...
Never got that much from him. a unique talent, but musically never thought he was that unique....

Damn, I didn't know he'd gone to the Great Gig in the Sky...

here is is playing lead...I think there is still another guitar player to his left though....sad that he died and pretty impressive the way he played...
My intention wasn't to take anything away from him being the lead. Most of the time he was a trio but he had a 2nd guitar on several discs and tours. I was just rtying to comment on the "other " guitarists that played with him. His 2nd axeman always had a different style than his which made to band a treat to listen to.
This clip he has Pat Rush with him who played with Johnny Winter and several others.
