CO-WRITES, COVERS & UNRELEASED TRACKS

Few things beat the thrill of listening to another artist cover your work or going to see a band live, perhaps one that you deeply respect, and having the singer tell you how much they were influenced by your work. It leaves you with the humble yet invigorated sense that you might have really been doing something right.

​

In my case, this scenario has been repeated from southeast Asia westward to Canada, all the way to the UK. As well, this page highlights a few examples of songs that were co-written with some of my most talented peers but weren't included on any formal release.

House On Fire - The Jeff Healey Band
House On Fire - Back Cover

"The one-two-three punch of the opening songs: “House on Fire,” “Who’s Been Sleepin’ in My Bed” and “You Go Your Way, I’ll Go Mine” will have you wishing all blues rock releases were this good".

Jeff's  cover of "You Go Your Way, I'll Go Mine' did not appear on the album that it was initially intended for. After Jeff's passing, it was released on House On Fire, a compilation of covers & unreleased material.
