Road House is one of those movies that helped usher out the era of action films that had feasible plot lines (and also helped reverse the direction of Patrick Swayze's career arc). Swayze stars as Dalton: a handsome, existential bouncer who owns both a degree in philosophy and a Mercedes and that's perhaps the most believable aspect of the whole movie. Dalton runs afoul of Wesley (Ben Gazzara), the meanest SOB round these parts, by taking up with his former girlfriend, Doc (Kelly Lynch)--the only woman in town with an IQ approaching double digits, even if she had unfathomably hooked up with such a lowlife. Swayze had complained about being typecast as beefcake when this was made, but that didn't stop him from revealing as much skin as possible. It's so insulting to its audience that it's nice to be able to turn the tables and laugh at the filmmakers.--David Kronke, Amazon.com
Live In Belgium continues our series of releases from the Jeff Healey Band archives. Filmed in July 1993 at the Peer Blues Festival in Belgium, the show captures the band touring in support of their album Feel This. The Jeff Healey Band normally performed as a trio but here they take to the stage with the addition of two backing singers and a keyboards player giving the songs a greater depth and range and taking the whole band up to a new level.

Originally recorded for the Canadian TV show A Beautiful Noise (Toronto - January 2006) this program includes additional interview and musical footage. Healey playing trumpet and guitar leads his excellent band The Jazz Wizards forward into musical history. As always he delivers jazz from the past with humor respect for the tradition and a contemporary attitude. Healey gained worldwide fame as a stunningly original rock/blues guitarist and has toured and sat-in with many legendary performers including Stevie Ray Vaughan Buddy Guy BB King ZZ Top Steve Lukather Eric Clapton and many more. His passion however was the infectious and joyful music from the classic jazz era - the days when Jelly Roll Morton King Oliver Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke ruled the music world. For many years Healey performed at his club Healey's on Bathurst Street in Toronto where he played with a rock band on Thursday nights and with his jazz group on Saturday afternoons. The club moved to a bigger location at 56 Blue Jays Way and it was rechristened Jeff Healey's Roadhouse. Healey also starred in the 1989 movie Road House alongside Patrick Swayze.
