 Rating:  - Jeff Healey's Third Great One In A RowFEEL THIS is Jeff Healey's third great album in a row. The song "Cruel Little Number" is a blazing rocker with some sizzling Allman/Winter licks, and the other songs are great, too. It was rare for young artists in 1992 to maintain such consistency, but Healey made it look easy. This album's instrumental intensity made the franticness of such artists as Nirvana and Pearl Jam sound like bubblegum. Rating: - Basing a review from one song? Not here!From reading the other reviews here, it sounds like some of them were based on one song on this album: "If You Can't Feel Anything Else". While I understand their assessments of this song and even remotely agree with them, the song DOES NOT discount the album as an exemplary blues record with strong rock accents. The song can be described as somewhat experimental, combining rap with Jeff's soaring guitar solos. It initially sounded peculiar to me, but I eventually appreciated the song for what it ...

This CD has Jeff Healey searching for a new direction and ending up somewhere between rock and dare I say it rap. Even the stronger songs seem to have elements that seem out of place. A good example would be "Leave the light on". Probably the strongest song on the CD. It is marred by distorted guitars from start to finish. This is a long way from the blues rock that Jeff was known for. If that is what you are looking for, look elsewhere Rating: - SAMPLE SONG NUMBER 8, IT IS THE BEST ONE ON THIS CD!I GIVE THIS ALBUM 4 STARS BECAUSE OVER ALL IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE JEFF HEALY BANDS "HELL TO PAY" ALBUM. FOR ANYONE NEW TO JEFF HEALY PURCHASE "HELL TO PAY" FIRST. IF YOU FIND YOURSELF WANTING MORE THEN PURCHASE "SEE THE LIGHT". THIRD IF YOU ARE A DIEHARD FAN PURCHASE THIS CD. TOO BAD YOU CAN NOT OMIT TRACK NUMBER 10 BECAUSE OF ITS RAP LIKE SOUND. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND IT INCLUDED ON THIS ALBUM. I COULD NOT HELP BUT THINK OF 9-11-2001, WHEN I LISTENED TO THE LYRICS OF TRACK NUMBER 8, EVEN THOUGH THIS CD ... Read More Rating: - Rockin Or RappinI believe that Jeff Healey got caught up in the rap movement that started to explode across the music scene in the early 90's. "Feel This" is an example of trying to meld music, experimenting with new sounds. Definitely, less bluesy sounding, while rock dominates this album he also tries to give several songs the short staccato sound of rap. Overall, this is a pretty decent album. Jr. John appears on "If You Can't Feel Anything Else" a horrible attempt at a rap that melds in Healey's dive-bombs ... Read More |
