Katie–
Thanks for all that you do here to keep Chris’s legacy alive. It’s an invaluable service.
I learned yesterday of a recording Chris made with Cassandra Wilson in 1993 of I Can’t Stand the Rain. It’s utterly riveting and dark and I wanted to pass it along just in case you weren’t already aware of it.
Thanks,
Keith
