The Jeff Healey Band - Hell to Pay
La técnica del guitarrista canadiense Jeff Healey consiste en apoyar la guitarra en el regaso en forma horizontal, en modo similar al de los intérpretes de pedal steel guitar, lo que permite ejecutar las técnicas de estirado de las cuerdas y glissandos en forma poco usual, resultando en un estilo distintivo.
Hell to Pay es el segundo disco junto a su power trio que completan: Joe Rockman en bajo y Tom Stephen en batería, donde combina blues y rock.
Sobresalen los covers de While My Guitar Gently Weeps, con George Harrison, su autor, y Jeff Lynne, de Electric Light Orchestra, como invitados; y de I Think I Love You Too Much, de y con Mark Knopfler, en el que ambos guitarristas tocan magníficos solos evidenciando una notable interacción, por lo que sorprende enterarse que el escocés no estuvo presente en el estudio cuando fue registrado el tema, sino que Healey le envió la grabación a Londres para que agregara su parte. Fantástico. ****
