Description
The Jeff Healey Band:
Jeff Healey (vox, guitar)
Joe Rockman (bass)
Tom Stephen (drums)
Facts alone pay insufficient tribute to the talents of Jeff Healey, but they at least provide a continuing framework for the story of one of Canada's most celebrated and accomplished musicians. The facts alone however, barely scratch the surface of The Jeff Healey Band's first release in 5 years, GET ME SOME. For that, a bit of history, a proper context and some reflection from the artist himself is in order.
Rendered blind from eye cancer since the age of one, Healey picked up his first guitar at three, and - by playing the instrument flat on his lap - patented a revolutionary technique that went on to become a trademark of his performance. By the age of six, Healey was playing and singing in public. Once he reached his teens, the guitarist had already played in several bands, and experimented with numerous musical genres. At the age of fourteen, Healey had become the principal music specialist at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, routinely airing vintage selections from his now 25,000-strong collection of 78 rpm recordings for his weekly radio broadcast ...

Ivory Joe Hunter met with success as a singer, a prolific songwriter, and a piano player in a long and varied career in the music business.
He was born in Kirbyville, Texas in 1914. His mother was a gospel singer and his father, Dave Hunter, played a guitar. He took an interest in music and in 1933 made his first recording, a cylinder recording for the Library of Congress.

Charles “Buddy” Hardin Holley was born September 7, 1936 in Lubbock, Texas to Laurence and Ella Holley. By age 13, Holly and his friend Bob Montgomery were playing a kind of music they called "Western Bop," as well as mainstream country songs which they performed at local clubs.
Holly's first opportunity in the music industry came when a scout from Decca Records saw the duo opening a local rock show for Bill Haley and the Comets. Decca signed Holly, alone, to produce a few singles. Afterward, however, Decca decided Holly wasn't quite ready yet, and they advised him to return to Lubbock and keep working on his music ...
