Chris Whitley died Sunday 20.Nov 2005 age 45
All of us who heard & loved his songs feel like have lost someone
very close to our heart .
However - as his brother Dan writes : "I hope you all will mourn
my brother's death, but more important, celebrate his life, as Chris
was all about life and living,"
- Offbeat -
"Visceral enough to haunt your dreams, and cerebral enough to give
them meaning. A hypnotic wrestling match between juke joint blues and
Kraftwerkian beats."
We are fans of CW since years - inspired by the excellent guitar
work - combinations of blues, funk and slippery electronics -
and certainly the lyrics- out of this world..on par with Bob Dylan.
.. if you listen closely to the songs you will find traces of
Led Zeppelin,
Deep Purple, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Van Morrison,and rapping......
Yeah...but all that rave won't convince you -
