The Jeff Healey Band-"See The Light" (1988)

A blind guitarist playing like any virtuoso guitar man? Well, that was Jeff Healey, who at the age of eleven lost his sight due to cancer in his eyes, which were surgically removed and replaced by artificial ones.
He learned to play by listening to the greats of the blues and imitating them with his guitar resting on his lap, in the style of a pedal steel guitar.
Hardened playing in Toronto pubs and venues he would soon build a great reputation and in 1988 he released his first album under the name The Jeff Healey Band and entitled "See The Light".
Together with drummer Tom Stephen and bassist Joe Rockman, this spectacular trio made an album full of magic with that unique and unmistakable style that Healey imprinted in his way of playing the guitar.
Bestial blues rock songs like "Confidence", "My Little Girl", songs with a southern flavor like "Don't Let Your Chance Go", tender ballads like "Angel Eyes" or exciting blues like "That´s What They Say" , rounded off an album that made known a blues legend who unfortunately died very young at the age of 41 in 2008, but leaving a beautiful legacy of a dozen great albums.
