Appearing almost 18 months after his death, Songs from the Road is the first posthumous disc from Jeff Healey . Collecting highlights from his 2006 performance at Norway's Nottoden Blues Festival , plus 2007 gigs in London and Toronto (the latter at his hometown club, the Jeff Healey Roadhouse ), Songs from the Road paints a good portrait of Healey the road warrior, playing old favorites, both of his own and a wide variety of classic rock and blues artists, including Muddy Waters and two from the Beatles . Healey doesn't surprise here, either in repertoire or attack, but he does satisfy, both as a guitarist and an all-around entertainer, making this collection a nice coda to his career. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
