I have to point out Davy Knowles who opened for Buddy Guy at Summerfest. He is an amazing young guitarist whom I will be watching in the years ahead.

Imagine my surprise when I got online today and found an article about a new Jeff Healy album! Ruf Records announced a September 8th US release date for "Songs From The Road". Released in Canada by Stony Plain Records in July, a new collection of eleven previously-unreleased live performances taken from concerts recorded in Norway, England, and Canada during 2006 and 2007.

Produced by Healey's friend and band member, bassist Alec Fraser, Songs From The Road displays a mix of original material and cover songs such as:
White Room (Cream)
Come Together (The Beatle's)
Whipping Post (The Allman Brothers)
While My Guitar Gently Weeps (George Harrison)

Healey also offers an updated version of his 1988 hit "Angel Eyes."
