Yeah?! That's great news.

I've seen him many times & unfortunately the last time was not good. He was a wreck.

Was he solo with the bass stomp pad? He's amazing when he does that but I'd like for once to see him with a band.

I saw him on the Rocket House tour with DJ Logic (?). I didn't like that set-up in theory, but it actually worked surprisingly well.
Chris Whitley very quietly just released 2 new records.

War Crime Blues

&

Weed

War Crime Blues is a collection of new originals. Weed is a re-recording of older material.

I got them just in time to listen before I see him tomorrow. I'll let you know what I think once I 'test drive' them…

"Playing like the brilliant missing link between mod and psychedelic rock, Rolled Gold is experimental without being silly or twee and emotionally mature without being pompous and boring." Allmusic review snippet

[Note to self…] :)

These are both good. If you like the Dirt Floor vibe, they are similar. Just CW with the wailing guitar and a little foot stomp action.

War Crime Blues contains a couple of interesting covers - Lou Reed & The Clash.

And Weed is a treat for any fan. I can't think of another artist that has released a new record consisting solely of re-interpretations of their own tunes - not live - not a best of. Some of these are barely recognizable.

ggw & brennser - let me know if you want to hear these.

*****************

His show was very good last night. His voice was in top shape &, if possible, he has become an even better guitar player. At times it is awesome to witness. My favorite time seeing him is still Fletchers for the Dirt Floor tour, but this is a close 2nd.

Interestingly, the show was sold out. This during a period that he's kept a low profile. [that Fletchers show only had 50-100 people even though he had an acclaimed record out]
It was good to see.

I would like a copy of those CDs if its ok with you - thanks grotty - let me know if you need my address again
