Jeff Healey

Jeff Healey played in a very mature way, but he did not lack youthful madness and unpredictability. He maybe violated the rules set up once by the pioneers of blues. But he doing this with an amazing flair. He perfectly controlled the timbre, sound, and dynamics of the playing, moving smoothly from sharp, rock riffs to blues wailing. His guitar could sadly squeeze in a minute, then knock you on your knees with a deep and melodious riff.
