The home of music journalist Nicholas Jennings, author of Lightfoot, the definitive new Gordon Lightfoot biography from Penguin Random House.
Jeff Healey - Mess of Blues
When Healey died last month of cancer, the music world lost a distinctive guitarist who bridged the fields of rock, blues and jazz. Lately, the blind-since-birth musician had recorded three albums of traditional jazz on which he played trumpet, and ran his Toronto nightclub, Healey’s Roadhouse. Here, working with his house band, he tackles various blues and rock classics with gusto, including the Mississippi Sheiks’ “Sittin’ on Top of the World” and Neil Young’s “Like a Hurricane,” adding further to his rich legacy.
