SONGS FROM THE ROAD is a posthumous released live blues album by Jeff Healey. It was released in July 24, 2009. This album was released over a year after his death, and contains hits and covers. The blind musician will be remembered best for playing searing guitar on his lap, looking like a pedal steel guitar man gone mad. SONGS FROM THE ROAD ... captures Healey's gift for energizing rock and blues tunes with powerful, sometimes blistering guitar work. It's a talent that occasionally sneaks up on the listener. Randy Bachman was invited to join the band on stage on one song, Hoochie Coochie Man. Appearing almost 18 months after his death, SONGS FROM THE ROAD collects highlights from Jeff Healey's 2006 performance at Norway's Nottoden Blues Festival, plus 2007 gigs in London and Toronto (the latter at his hometown club, the Jeff Healey Roadhouse). SONGS FROM THE ROAD paints a good portrait of Healey the road warrior, playing old favorites, both of his own and a wide variety of classic rock and blues artists, including Muddy Waters and two from the Beatles. Healey doesn't surprise here, either in repertoire or attack, but he does satisfy, both as a guitarist and an all-around entertainer, making this collection a nice coda to his career.

Each song is a cover but all are done very much as Healey's interpretations, some far afield from the original version, as in ''I'm Ready'', others closer to source but more in the earth and water of things, as in his Delta-ish rendition of Greg Allman's ''Whipping Post''. The surprise of watching Healey play was two-fold: that strange laptop style well used before the CandyRat label viruosos made it a good deal more prevalent and then his dancing. The guy was genuinely infused with the music he wrought and could hardly keep from kicking his heels up. A blind guy dancing? Yep. He figured out his territory and boogied when he felt like it. Jeff carried an infectious spirit and, though one could feel it in his other work, live was where it shined more brightly. A goodly percentage of him, though, was soulful, and this wasn't much noted by crits while he yet drew breath. Hard to miss it, though. ''Stop Breakin' Down'', a Robert Johnson gem not much covered, though the Stones did a gritty turn on it, is a great example: dominated by the rock he loved, it still has a very un-white base and intro heard clearly in his voice. Then there's the guitar work. Healey had an interesting way of occasionally riding notes kinda like Rory Gallagher but his phrasing was completely different, a cross between a funky Clapton, a rockier Ernie Isley, and occasionally a more melodic George Kooymans. He was looser than most, and that made his mode earthier. Healey wasn't a clinician, he played from his heart, biceps, and guts. The dexterity factor was the icing on the cake. The pulse and folky funk he injected everything with was his gift. You get all that and more here, but suspect there's a goldmine of live stuff and canned studio material tucked away somewhere, and a possible box set in the future is a tantalizing grail for some of us, especially collectors. In the meantime, this'll keep all and sundry well satisfied.
