Jeffrey Halford delivers a uniquely American melting pot of roots, blues, rock and kick-ass pop. Take some Southern soul, add a heap of Texas storytelling, a dash of Bay area’s free-wheelin’ spirit /liberal spirit/literary leanings/seedier side, then throw in some desert sunshine and dirt,  stir with an architect’s eye for detail and durability and you got yourself an idea of why Paste magazine once named him to their Ten Most Influential Artists of The Decade. Halford, with the Healers, makes some of the best records today — a beautiful and dark journey through America — like a great vinyl record.
