Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Jeff Healey, blind from a few months old due to a rare form of retinal cancer, was fretting his first notes on a guitar by the age of three. Too small to play the instrument conventionally, he placed it flat on the floor and, later, on his knees. He used the technique all his life, later claiming it gave him greater flexibility in bending and hammering the strings. He formed the Jeff Healey Band after meeting Joe Rockman (bass) and Tom Stephen (drums) at Sunday-night jam sessions in Toronto?s Grossman?s Tavern in 1985 and worked with them for over a decade. ?See The Light? was undoubtedly helped by the breakthrough of US Top 5 single. ?Angel Eyes?. This ballad was penned by US singer-songwriter John Hiatt, who also supplied the album?s brash opening track ?Confidence Man?. There were many other highlights. Healey?s romping version of Freddie King?s blues instrumental ?Hideaway?, most frequently associated with Eric Clapton in his mid-1960s Bluesbreakers period, was nominated for a Grammy Award, while another instrumental, ?Nice Problem To Have?, made a great contrast with its more measured pace. British session man Robbie Blunt, who?d worked with Robert Plant earlier in the decade, added second guitar to both. This first album includes some stellar session names. Three vocal contributions come from Eagle, Timothy B. Schmit, most notably on ?Angel Eyes?, while Tom Petty sideman Benmont Tench?s keyboards appear on four tracks, including ?Confidence Man?, while Bobbye Hall?s percussion adds atmosphere to ?Someday, Someway?.
