Road House forever.

I believe Mess of Blues is his first rock/blues album in eight years - he's released a number of traditional jazz albums over the last decade.

If you like guitar playing, you should love this clip:

@Ned Raggett: I'll never forget him accompanying Kathleen Wilhoite (who also played Bennie's wife on LA Law) on Knock On Wood.

If only he could have ripped taht guy's throat out instead of Dalton, Road House would have been that much better.

@encyclopediablack: You have a vision, sir.

I muttered about this a bit on my blog but the Dylan cover he does at the end of the movie beats out the original:

@Ned Raggett: Definitely beats out Dylan's version. It's too bad that Healey rarely played with sidemen who were even half as talented as he was...

I'm still sort of bothered by the fact that this took until 3:30 p.m. to report...

Maybe I'm just being a hyper-sensitive Canadian about it all?

@jfk1624: Quit whining - there was a L.A. Guns story to get to today.

@Thierry: CRYING.

rip jeff healey, an entirely unique guitarist in an era that was entirely lacking in that department.

That dude was a fretboard assasin. RIP, my man.

    I'll have to add to the sentiments posted above. I saw it on the Consumerist Forums. Tragic. Healy was AWESOME! My wife and I saw him live in the Big Easy, about 18 years ago. Wow. Totally unique! My favorite was a Beatles cover he did...

    Enjoy!

The clip with SRV brought tears to my eyes. 2 geniuses. Thanks for posting.
