Bad News for music lovers:

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."

.. If you listen closely to the songs you will find traces of Zeppelin,
Deep Purple, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Van Morrison and Rap.......

If you ranked any of these musos- check Whitleys legacy out.
