Jeff Healey, who went blind in early childhood, is still considered a music icon today. His virtuoso guitar playing and soulful voice are still remembered today. With his Jeff Healey Band he sold millions of records worldwide. Provogue and the Jeff Healey Estate are now released album entitled HOLDING ON. The album includes five outtakes from the longplayer Heal My Soul, which was released on March 25, 2016, and live recordings from Oslo, which were made on July 18, 1999. Nobody embodies the defiant spirit of rock and blues quite like Jeff Healey. Born in Toronto on March 25th, 1966, the Canadian’s childhood was shattered by diagnosis with the rare ocular cancer retinoblastoma. Yet it never broke his stride, and through the late-’80s, ’90s and post-millennium, Jeff’s jaw-dropping guitar style and soul-drenched vocals saw him rise to multi-platinum sales and worldwide acclaim. Since his untimely passing in March of 2008, Jeff’s Estate has worked diligently to ensure that his memory and incredible legacy would continue to shine on. Released in March of 2016 on what would have been the his 50th birthday, Heal My Soul is a ‘'lost'’ album comprising twelve previously unheard tracks, all rescued from the vaults, lovingly restored by the guitarist’s estate and alive with his spirit. Now released HOLDING ON: A Heal My Soul Companion, a perfect bookend to the critically acclaimed Heal My Soul and 2016 in general, which saw a continuous celebration of what would have been Jeff’s 50th birthday. Featuring five rare Jeff Healey studio tracks that were all recorded during the same time period as Heal My Soul (‘96-’98) and a concert recorded in Oslo, Norway in 1999, a live snapshot of a brilliant performer at the top of his game, HOLDING ON is the perfect complement to Heal My Soul.
HOLDING ON Includes - FIVE TRACKS: Heal My Soul Outtakes & TEN TRACKS: Recorded Live At Rockfeller Music Hall, Oslo, Norway On 18th July 1999.
Billed as a "companion" to the 2016 posthumous collection Heal My Soul, HOLDING ON combines a full live concert from 1999 with five additional studio outtakes. According to Roger Costa, the compilation's producer, these five songs were left off of Heal My Soul "primarily because they didn't quite fit into the flow" and "they were too good not to share." They had been shared once before, on a limited-edition vinyl called Heal My Soul: Bonus Sessions, but the digital release is welcome because they're solid songs, highlighted by the charging "Love Takes Time," the hooky "Every Other Guy," and "All That I Believe," which feels a bit like a conscious re-write of Hootie & The Blowfish. All are nice additions to the Healey catalog and the concert is solid, too - perhaps a little too pristine and polished, but still worthy for Healey heads. Five rare Jeff Healey studio tracks that were all recorded during the same time period as Heal My Soul. All of the same time and effort was brought to their restoration and revival. These bonus sessions are a must own for any Jeff Healey fan and simply too good not to share. Having played at the Rockefeller Music Hall several times throughout the 90s, it was always a night to remember for both Jeff and the audience. This fantastic summer concert would certainly be no exception. With Healey Band veteran guitarist, Pat Rush in tow, Jeff tore through a set of great covers and classics. This live snapshot of a brilliant performer at the top of his game is a perfect complement to the studio side of Heal My Soul. Package includes extensive liner notes and many rare candid photos of Jeff on tour.
