I kinda thought Jeff Healey was cool when he first came on the scene years ago. He had a cool sound, bluesy, kinda dirty. But it didn't take long for me to realize that all his songs sounded like that, and to me that made them all sound the same. When I hear his version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", I don't hear the song, I hear Jeff Healey. Anything he does, I don't hear the song, I just hear Jeff Healey.
Anyway, I like this song a lot. I always thought it was interesting that it's a George Harrison song, but it starts with a classic piano line by Paul, and features a solo not by George.
Trivia: George and Eric were good friends of course, and George asked Eric to play the solo, but the one thing he could not do was use a wah-wah pedal. Wah-wah was everywhere at the time, and would have been perfect for a "weeping guitar" sound, but that's exactly why George didn't want it. Too cliché. So Eric came up with a sound and a way to play the solo to sound reminiscent of a weeping guitar without using a wah-wah pedal.
