Liner Note Author: Roger Costa.
Recording information: Rockefeller Music Hall, Oslo, Norway (07/18/1999).
Photographers: Taras Kovaliv; Joe Rockman ; Pat Rush.
Billed as a "companion" to the 2016 posthumous collection Heal My Soul, Holding On combines a full live concert from 1999 with five additional studio outtakes. According to Roger Costa, the compilation's producer, these five songs were left off of Heal My Soul "primarily because they didn't quite fit into the flow" and "they were too good not to share." They had been shared once before, on a limited-edition vinyl called Heal My Soul: Bonus Sessions, but the digital release is welcome because they're solid songs, highlighted by the charging "Love Takes Time," the hooky "Every Other Guy," and "All That I Believe," which feels a bit like a conscious re-write of Hootie & the Blowfish. All are nice additions to the Healey catalog and the concert is solid, too -- perhaps a little too pristine and polished, but still worthy for Healey heads. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
