PRICELESS COLLECTION Series.
COVER TO COVER is the fourth album by the Jeff Healey Band. It is an album of cover songs, released in June 13, 1995. COVER TO COVER is album for the lap playing Canadian blues-rock guitarist. On the album Jeff‘s playing 12 favorite covers from 1966’s British Yardbirds “Shape Of Things” to 1969’s “Communication Breakdown” from Led Zeppelin. It’s not the well known chart hits who were chosen but the album classics from the likes of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Howlin’Wolf and of course there’s a Jimi Hendrix classic which is “Angel”(in 1970 released as B-side for “Night Bird Flying”). The album is produced by Thom Panunzio and features guest appearances by “Blues Traveler” John Popper, Paul Shaffer, Amanda Marshall and “E-street” key man Roy Bittan. "Shapes Of Things" was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

One likes the covers concept espoused by blues-rockers The Jeff Healey Band in a kind of backhanded way: as much as one admires the chops displayed by Toronto's blind guitarist whiz-kid, the group's songwriting is somewhat lyric-challenged. Cover to Cover works to circumvent the combo's main limitations. The disc kicks off in grand style with a dramatic, original instrumental reading of The Yardbird's "Shapes Of Things." A pair of Hendrix numbers ("Freedom," "Angel") chalks up to unfortunate typecasting for Healey. Some inclusions (try the Stealer's Wheel chestnut "Stuck In The Middle With You") are bland vanilla throwaways. Still others, namely Spirit's "I Got A Line On You," sends one running back to the original versions. Mind you, if any of these point new listeners in the direction of the original, then a valuable public service has been performed.
