Welcome all!
Huge announcement today! To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film ROAD HOUSE, The Estate of Jeff Healey, Sony Music and Mondo Music are proud to present, ROAD HOUSE: The Lost Soundtrack! The COMPLETE, previously unreleased Jeff Healey Band soundtrack to the 1989 cult classic film will be available for the first time ever!
This release will feature all twelve songs used in the film itself (eight of which were previously unreleased) as well as seven additional bonus tracks… songs recorded during the ROAD HOUSE sessions, that have never before been released in any format.
ROAD HOUSE: THE LOST SOUNDTRACK will be available as an extremely Limited Edition run of CDs from the Estate and pre-orders will begin at our official webstore HERE on Monday, April 1st! (We’ll also have some exclusive vinyl bundles as well…)
It will also be available as a double LP from Mondo Music. (Vinyl pre-orders will be on sale at MondoShop.com on Thursday, March 21)
And… all the tracks will also be available on all major streaming platforms on the same day as the physical release, June 7th courtesy our friends at Sony Music!
This project has been simmering for well over a decade. And a great deal of blood, sweat and tears have been poured into this one kids. We’re beyond thrilled that is it finally making its way to you!
We are so stoked to share this special release with you, and so very grateful for the creative control afforded us by Sony Music! They never once questioned our artistic vision. Truly, without them this record could never have happened.
With Sony’s blessing (and endless support), we did a deep dive into their vaults. We were given full access to all the original tapes, the original dozen that were in the film, and an additional seven bonus tracks that were recorded in the same sessions. All have been painstakingly remixed and remastered from the original multi-track elements. Well, all but two songs in which the master tapes had been lost to the sands of time. With these we had to work with rough mixes we found in the vault. These took a little more work to bring up to the same standard as the others, but we hope you’ll appreciate our efforts.
Make no mistake, this is a Healey Estate joint from top to bottom; from audio production and restoration, to extensive liner notes and rare photos. We put our hearts into this bad boy!
So, why the “Lost Soundtrack” you ask? Well, as we said, the ROAD HOUSE film contained a dozen performances by Jeff Healey and his band, however, the official soundtrack released back in 1989 contained only four of those songs. In the thirty-four years since they were recorded, this will be the first time they have all been made available, anywhere. In addition, as I said before, as a cool bonus, we’re including seven songs that were recorded in these same sessions for consideration, but never made it into the film. These extra recordings, unheard for almost thirty-five years, were put to tape as potential film tracks, then … they were forgotten by the passage of time.
So ya wanna know what’s on the album? I thought you’d never ask!

I have to have this to go in my Jeff Healey Discography. I have almost all CDs and Lps. Love Jeff Healey and his Music. This would almost complete my collection. Cant wait.
I was so disappointed when that soundtrack came out because it didn’t have all the great Jeff tunes on it that were in the movie. Long over due, will be adding this to my collection.
Stoked new Jeff got all his releases saw him live once big fan Jeff Healey estate rules
I want it so badly now. June 7th seems like forever, it’s already been 35 years… he could take any song and make it better.
Exactly ,,,I want it Now !!!
This is awesome news!
Absolutely love him singing On The Road Again. What a man, what a voice.
Can’t Wait!
Will this release be available in all record stores .. Amazon .. discogs .. eBay etc etc .. I wanna secure my copy definitely
Hi there.
The album will be available digitally on all major streaming platforms.
The vinyl will be available here on our web store and on the Mondo records website, along with whatever regular retail outlets they deal with. Honestly not 100% certain. You would have to reach out to them.
The CDs however will only be available here on our web store exclusively, and there will be a very limited run. When they’re gone they’re gone… ~Rog
I’ll be ordering this
Have the soundtrack, always wondered why the rest of the JHB tracks in the movie wernt included. Some classics in there.
Very cool project! Will the vinyl from this site be identical to the Mondo release that’s on sale tomorrow?
Will the vinyl on sale here not be on sale til April 1st?
Thanks!
The 21st and April 1st are just the pre-order dates. Everything will be available everywhere on June 7th! The vinyl we will have is one of the Mondo colour variants, but it will be bundled with some exclusive goodies… Stay tuned! ~Rog
Oooo… if I can get the coloured Mondo here WITH goodies… sold!
Roadhouse soundtrack sounds incredible
I’m gonna get one
Jeff Healey was amazing
I ordered this on CD 3 weeks ago from a place called RockPaperMerch
In Canada ” now I’m worried as I really don’t think this place is legit now ??
I’ve been a healey fan since the movie was released and now it looks like I’m not going to receive this awesome sounding cd.
Dammit…
Spent 38 dollars and that’s without the postage added…
Hope someone could put my mind at rest if the place called RockPaperMerch is a real seller or fake in Canada.
Yup. That is the webstore that is affiliated with us. Sony is set to release the album to all the digital distributors on June 7th. The CDs and the LPS have a tentative release of mid-june as stated on the site. It all comes down to Manufacturing times. No need to worry! 🙂 ~Rog
Why on April 1st? That’s got my fool radar going! Will be awesome to get a copy though.
Lol. Just a coincidence… 🙂 ~Rog
Can’t wait!!!
I MUST have this album. The movie was the reason i got hooked on Jeff’s music. Think i saw movie in like 91-92 – and I still blast his music around the house and in my car.
Comment *Thank you for this gentlemen, this album is just a masterpiece, Jeff would be proud
This is truly excellent news. I know that many fans (both of the film and of Jeff) have been waiting for this since 1989. It’s brilliant that it’s finally happening. The pre-order date for the CD edition has been entered into my calender!
Magnificent release from the estate Sony but especially Jeff and the band …. I can’t wait The Man Lives!!!
I’m really excited about this. I spent many days of my youth studying that album and I always wanted more of his songs to be included. Plus unreleased tracks. I’m so stoked
any update as to what time on April 1st the bundles and CD’s will be available?
Hi Jeff! The pre-order is set to go live at 12:00pm EST on Monday April 1st! ~Rog
Jeez, i missed everything. I sat here for 4 hours and then realized it was Sunday the 31st. and not Monday. So i went to the store. Just now got on my laptop and it is all sold out. I could cry.
Check our webstore! *Our* pre-order link goes live at midnight tonight EST! ~Rog
Thanks, Rog.
Thanks for all your hard work Rog and team. This is long overdue, and after re-watching this film last week, I forgot just how many songs Jeff & band played in here. Looking forward to this!
are you selling the Mondo version of the vinyl or the Enjoy the Ride Records exclusive version? the website says its the Mondo version, but the photos and noted coloring of the vinyls are the Enjoy the Ride records exclusive version?
Hi Jeff. I don’t know about Enjoy The Ride. The specific Limited Colour version we have we’re getting from Mondo. It isn’t the regular blue and clear one they have and the description we got from them… ~Rog
Definately a must have..
Can no longer order the CD? Are all 500 purchased already? Don’t understand this arrangement at all.
The last of the CDs only sold out a couple of days ago. Unfortunately we were only given a license to make an extremely limited quantity. LPs are still available and the album goes to all the digital services this Friday…
You never know, we might be able to work something out in the future, but for right now it’s all we’ve got. ~Rog
I have just finished listening to this Collection and I am in AWE!!!! This sounds F*CKING FANTASTIC!!!! Jeff was a genius taken from us far too soon (as was the great Patrick Swayze). Having these two tied together forever in this film and now this incredible release has made my day and brought a few tears to my eyes thinking about how we have been denied so many more potentially great tracks from Jeff and the Band. Thank you sooooooo very much for this – you have no idea how much this means to us fans!
Where do I preorder the Roadhouse Lost Soundtrack CD?
Sorry Ralph. We were only given a license to make an extremely limited quantity of CDs. Maybe we can negotiate something out in the future, but for now, that’s all there is… 🙁 (there are more LPs coming to the shop soon though – https://rockpapermerch.com/collections/jeff-healey )~Rog
Hey guys,
just heard about this coming out, I ordered the vinyl. Just want to join my voice to the other people requesting more CDs being made available, thank you.
My CD arrived today and I’ve listened to it twice already. Well worth the wait. Thank you to Jeff’s estate for making this happen. I’ve loved the film since it came out, and loved the music even more. I am very happy to finally have Knock On Wood with the lovely Kathleen Wilhoite. Jeff you are missed.
Love this new soundtrack! So good.
Are all the cd orders on their way? I haven’t received a shipment confirmation and I am a bit worried.
Hi, I was on to Rock Paper Merch yesterday and the told me they would be emailing updates to people today. Sorry. While they are a separate company to us, we are the ones who look bad when there are delays… Hopefully you will have some info soon. ~Rog
I have been waiting for this since the release of the film. I have watched this movie many times just to hear the tunes. I was especially eager to hear the complete mix of “On The Road Again”. Great collection of a true blues man. Thanks.
